The girls and I have been traveling a lot lately. Two weekends ago, we went with our friend Katie down to the coast to see Becky and Fitz's new little girl, Lilly. She was six weeks early, so she barely weighed 5lbs when we were there! She is such a perfect looking little girl! What an amazing little miracle she is, it was worth the trip to go see her!

This past weekend we were in Atlanta. We drove down with my parents to watch uncle Gavin run in the ACC Track and Field Championships. Grace was really into the track meet (a girl after our own hearts!). She would clap her hands and point every time Gavin ran by. Ella, on the other hand, would start crying if we or the people around us cheered too loud. We stayed with my Aunt Sandy and Uncle Richie while we were there. It was great to see all my cousins and their kids. As always I wish I would have taken some more pictures, but here are a few from the last two weekends. For now we're catching up on our Daddy time...I think he missed his girls!

Just Chillin'

Grace is always doing something to keep us smiling. She's had this sweat suit for a while now, but it wasn't until yesterday that she discovered it had pockets! If she wasn't eating or playing, she was walking around with her hands in those pockets!

New Kids On The Block Reunion - Latest News

I know there's probably been more important news this past month, but I must confess I'm excited about this! As one analyst (my brother Ryan) states, "It’s brilliant,…..in a time of rising oil prices and a recession looming around the corner America needs a reason to smile."

"Rainy Days and Mondays..."

It's been raining here for three days now! Though we desperately need the rain, we're just not used to the sun not being out! :) Yesterday I let Grace go outside in the rain because we were both getting a little stir crazy! I missed the shots of her puddle jumping, but here are some cute ones of the "little piggy" out on the deck.



(I don't know what it is with her cup these days, but she wants to carry it around with her everywhere! At least she's staying hydrated!)
