One of those nights.

Some nights are crazy hectic. Some nights are rather low key.  Some are super fun with lots on the calendar.  And some, well some are just “good.”  You know what I am talking about.  Nothing really out of the ordinary.  Nothing on the schedule.  Just a good night.  We had one of those last night. 

 

We had to run a couple of errands after we picked up C from daycare which meant we pulled in the driveway at 6.  I was STARVING (not that uncommon…) so I decided to “cook” dinner right away.  Fortunately, we didn’t have much to do as we had leftover spaghetti sauce…so all “cooking” meant last night was cooking noodles and making a salad.  I was in charge of dinner since Mikey had to do some yard work.   We ate really early (for us) and I took C to the bath right away, spaghetti + toddler…yeah, you get the picture.  Anyways, by 6:45 she was clean and we headed straight outside to enjoy the beautiful night.  We PLAYED and PLAYED while daddy cut the grass…she was obsessed with watching him.  Collins LOVES to be outside, and it felt perfect last night…so we stayed.  We went for a run at 8, which was perfect (weather wise) and for Collins because it allows her to have some “calm down” time before bed.  (And know that when I say we went for a run, we did…but ummm….I can’t run for more than 20-25 minutes, so it’s not like it was a long thing.)  Collins loves riding in the BOB while we jog, she just chills, laughs at Milly, and sucks her thumb while stroking her lovie:)


We got back and it was time for teeth brushing and a book before bed and our little girl was in dreamland by 8:30.  See? Nothing spectacular.  Just a normal night.  But, it was a good one.  I’m totally loving this phase of life right now.  Nothing makes my heart happier than a peaceful, laid back night of family time. 

 

In other SUPER exciting news….on Tuesday night we attended my BESTIE’s GENDER REVEAL…and well, we are getting ANOTHER girl in our big group of friends!!!  I LITTERALLY CANNOT BELIEVE IT!  Y’all, out of our big college group/Columbia group of girls we have ALL had girls in the past two years (NINE of them).  Our three friends from college who live OUTSIDE of Columbia, have BOYS,  WHAT the WHAT?!?  Pretty nuts, right?  I couldn’t be more excited for it though.  SO happy for Bec and Grant…can’t wait to love on baby Gillespie!!!

Me and the mama to be:) Holding her nephew!  He’s now going to be outnumbered….one sis and one girl cousin on the way!!

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...
