gorgeous weekend.

What a great weekend. Drinks, parks, winery- perfect combination. We met Will's new girlfriend at lunch and Sunday took Colin to the park where he LOVED the swings and tunnel then we just couldn't waste a gorgeous day without the view from Bluemont.

bath time.

Colin and bath time with mom. We miss dad on class nights :( one more semester one more semester...

baby wilson shower.

In a month another baby boy will be joining us. Carrie is seriously glowing pregnant- even at 35 weeks. She wears it so well. Wish I had the pregnancy gene. We are so excited for Carrie and Mike and anticipating holding baby Wilson for the first time.

10 months!

If you blink your eye you will miss something. Colin was not interested in crawling 2 weeks ago. Now he is all.over.the.place... but I must say without a doubt this is the best stage. He loves books and points to pages, says momma and dada, crawls to his toys, is a great napper and sleeper. And my absolute favorite part of being a mom... waking him up to get him dressed in the morning when he is still sleepy and sitting in the rocking chair while he lays his head on my shoulder and we just rock while the sun comes up. I LOVE that part of my day.

love.

he's pretty awesome, hard worker, great dad and hilarious. even when he's gumpy he gets over it pretty quick... thank god. i love you honey :)

crawling.

he crawls... but dont be fooled by this photo he absolutley hates the idea of crawling. He crawls toward food or mommy's lap.

gratitude.

I heard a quote on the radio as I was driving in traffic with brake lights for a mile ahead.. "have an attitude of gratitude"... I like to think that this would be easy. Life lately around here has been chaotic- dropping phone in tub, driving around with a broken horn, running out of hair salon with a wet head, returns, groceries, clean house, dinner, laundry, full time job- you get it.


slow.down. take in life's small moments. and like I heard on the radio have an attitude of gratitude.

girls weekend.

my favorite girls on earth. we were able to pull off an awesome weekend with two babies! with help from meg, ryan & pauline we headed out for an early dinner and drinks and spent the rest of the weekend catching up during naps and early bedtimes. Peyton and Colin were born 4 days apart. Which still amazes me :) Justin escaped to Richmond to let girls be girls :)
