Thankful.

I am so very thankful for my mama. Seriously. Because...even though I don't get to do this with my sweet girl during the week anymore....(cuddling on the couch if you can't tell from the awkward picture angle)

I know she is in the BEST, most LOVING hands she can be in right now apart from her mama or daddy:) My mom retired last year and wasn't quite ready to, but because she is a teacher and did some state retirement thing, it was her time. So this past year she has been doing long term subs for maternity leaves, etc. My mom LOVES her grandchildren and would do anything in the world for her children (for a while anyways!) but she is not the type of grandma who could stay home all day every day with her grandchildren. She is way too active and on the go and my parents like to go out of town way too much!! Especially in the summer. So, I am extremely grateful that she is keeping Collins for us until she starts childcare at church at the end of July. It has made going back to work SO much easier on me. My mom is coming to our house for the first month (which is EXTREMELY nice considering it is a 45 minute drive) and then we will meet in the middle. So, right now I get to go home during lunch and love on my girl. Because of my mom I won't have to go thru the "leave your child with strangers" thing until she is 5 months old. I think and hope by then it will be a little easier. I know that would have been extremely hard to do at 8 weeks old.

So, while I get sad that I don't get to love on my baby all day every day anymore I am so happy that her Lolly does. My mom takes her on walks and plays with her a lot which is so nice. I really pray that Collins and I have the same close relationship that my mom and I have:)

Moms are the BEST!

Loves!

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...
