Easter 2012

This Easter was so special for the Glenn family. My mom and I spent the week in Beaufort, for "spring break" (more on that later) with friends and Mikey and my dad joined us for the weekend. Easter Sunday was Collins' first church appearance and she did wonderful! She slept like an angel the whole time:) She woke up one time when the hand bells got really loud and she looked a bit confused, but went right back to snoozing peacefully. We got married in Beaufort, Sc even though we live in Columbia....so we went to the church where we got married for Easter which was really special. We try and visit there when we go to Beaufort but have actually spent Easter Sunday there the past three years now.

My brother and his wife celebrate Easter with her family, so it was just the four of us and Collins on Sunday. We had a beautiful service at church and then came back to the house and prepared Easter lunch. Easter lunch is one of my favorite holiday lunches, (just behind thanksgiving) I just love what our Easter "tradition" for lunch is and Easter is such a special holiday. We have ham, potato salad, green beans, mac and cheese and deviled eggs....YUMMY. In fact, because of leftovers I still have that food...delish, bad for the post preggo weight loss though!!!

It was so nice to relax on Sunday after lunch, the weather was beautiful, the Masters was great, and we were in the low country...what's not to love!! We put off leaving as long as possible...didn't come home until the Masters was over! I hate Sunday afternoons when we have to leave Beaufort to come back to the real world. Boo! We took lots of pics on Sunday, but of course it is just hard to get good pictures of a 7 week old! So we just work with what we have...

Waving hey!

Family pic...this was after church and sweet girl was ready to eat, so she was fussy during most of these pics, but that's okay! She is a baby after all:)
Family of three:)
TWO easter baskets! One from Lolly and Granddaddy and one from mommy and daddy! PS~ when did the Easter bunny become Santa Claus? I keep seeing people's pictures and a lot of people go completely OVERBOARD! I always got one or two "things" aka clothes/toys in my easter basket but it was mainly candy...I swear a lot of kids get as much as Santa bring! It's nuts! We did NOT go overboard, what will she know anyways!?! We got her a precious kissy kissy bubble for the summer, it is adorable with little starfish and seahorses on it and has ruffles on the booty:) Lolly and Granddaddy got her a jellycat bunny, two pairs of sandals and Pat the bunny book. Collins still made out pretty good!

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday with your families!

    OMG, couldn't agree more with you on the Easter Bunny/Santa Claus comparison. I only got candy, kids are getting more and more spoiled it seems. Your Collins is soooooo precious!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
