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!

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
