The Friday Five.

1       1. Last weekend was great.  We didn’t have many big plans and in fact stayed home and did NOTHING on Friday night…to be honest; I was sick and didn’t feel like going anywhere.  I had a baby shower and birthday party to attend, but otherwise we spent a lot of time playing with Collins, doing dinner with friends, going to the pool, lounging around the house, organizing, and attending a new church.  I’m sad we aren’t going to be going to our old church anymore, which we JUST joined in January (gosh, that seems like yesterday) but I just know we won’t make the drive downtown to go to church and it makes sense for us to find a new church home in our new community.  My first memory of making friends was at church and I want Collins to have the same experience.  It was only our first visit, but we LOVED the pastor and already know a lot of people who attend there.  Hopefully it will be our new church home.

2      2.   I hosted my first SUBURBIA girl’s night Wednesday and it was a huge successJ  So thankful all of my wonderful friends were willing to make the trek to the ‘burbs to come see me!  On that note…I really can’t do these wine nights during the week anymore…goodness gracious!

3      3.  Collins is growing like a weed!  Today is her SIX month birthday.  *going to wait on that update post because she doesn’t go for her 6 month appointment until the 27^th. * She is officially sitting up, of course she still falls some but she is doing so good.  And I swear she’s about to crawl.  She is so ready…she gets up on all fours and just rocks away, I know it could still be a while before she actually starts crawling; but she is definitely ready.  And if she can’t crawl, she figures out a way to move…she kinda slides her little body to get where she wants.  

.           4. Unlike most people, I am not ready for summer to be over.  I love football and fall and all…but I am a SUMMER GIRL.  I love the LONG days (even when they are ridiculously hot) and all that goes with summer.  

5         5.    Fortunately for me…we still have our WEEK long family vacation left!  YIPPEE!!!  We leave Sunday to go to Beaufort for most of the week…just our little family of three, so excited.  Friday, Mikey and I will head our separate ways for “girls beach weekend” and “guys fantasy football draft weekend” and sweet Collins gets to stay in Beaufort with her Lolly and Granddaddy!  I am so looking forward to relaxing and soaking up EVERY possible second of time with my family.  I don’t even care about being at the beach 24/7 this trip…I just want to CHILL out and enjoy myself.  A WHOLE WEEK TO LOVE ON MY GIRL!!!!

 

 We took Collins down to the park/playground area in our neighborhood for the first time the other night, her first time in a swing!  She loved it:) 

 My sweet girl this morning...happy SIX months baby!  *She was laughing at Milly!!*

XOXO.
