Glenn family vacay: part 1

We had the BEST ever family vacation this year. I went into with low expectations of what our days would look like considering the boys were barely two months old. But, the boys and everything else about our trip was absolutely perfect!! It was just our little family down there Sunday-Friday... And then the rest of my family joined for the long labor day weekend. We spent at least four hours on the beach every day except Wednesday. We decided to make the trip to hilton head Wednesday afternoon/evening so skipped the beach trip that day and Mikey played golf and then I went and got a pedicure!

I was amazed at the weather on the beach. I knew we wouldn't be able to enjoy with the boys if it were too hot... But not even close! The breeze was amazing... Almost too windy at times! The boys stayed comfy and cool in their tent on the beach and Mikey and I took turns keeping Collins entertained:-) it was heaven! The weather was beautiful and we had the best time.

We went out to dinner twice and cooked at home the other evenings. There were lots of lazy naps, afternoons spent at the pool, evenings spent rocking on the porch, and lots of good quality family time. This vacation far surpassed anything I could have envisioned. (And of course we still had crying babies sometimes and a toddler who didn't want to go down for naps.... But that's all just normal these days !! ;-). )

These pics are from the week when it was just us:-)

Traditional dinner at Dockside... One of our faves.

Everything we needed for our beach days! Ha!

Trip to Sea Pines in hilton head for fun and dinner!

Pool time.

How the boys looked on the beach every day!

Sweetness.

I'm ready to go back.... If only it weren't about to be fall.... Boo.

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...

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...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
