Sweet Caroline

So yeah, I'm going to spend the next week recapping Christmas... My bad. But, it just takes me some time these days to do things;-). Like about three weeks to finally upload my pics... So here we are.  I've already talked about our first Christmas get together in North Carolina with Mikey's moms family. The next day we got together with my dad's side of the family. It's always chaotic with so many kids, but the kids have a blast playing together and that's what I love! Group prayer The kids singing God our father. Chaos on the couch  Chaos on the couch part 2. No pics of the adults this year, but who cares about us?! Collins LOVES playing with her cousins and I LOVE watching all the little kids play together. Graham and Thomas are the last babies on this side for a LONG time... As if there aren't enough;-).  Love all these people very much. 

When I really sit back and think about it, it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that it is TWENTY FIFTEEN. What the what?!?? So weird.  Nevertheless, it's here and we celebrated. We kinda waited last minute to make a plan so no huge soirée or anything like that. Some of our best friends who moved back to town wanted to host a little get together so that's what we did. It ended up being low key, but very fun!  We played catch phrase for a bit and that's always a good time:-) The girls  Our group selfie to ring in the new year.  We tried.  We stayed out till 2! Woah Nellie were we tired the next morning.  Thankfully, after I fed the boys at 7:45 we all went back to sleep till 10! Even Collins slept that long:-) We were lazy for the first part of the first day of 2015 but then we headed out to lunch at the in laws for the traditional southern New Year's Day meal. We relaxed, watched some football and enjoyed some time outside. Then came back home and spen...

2014.   WOAH.  In many ways it was DEFINITELY one for the record books.  I was pregnant for exactly half of the year.  Our family grew by TWO.  TWO precious little boys who have stolen my heart in every way possible.  My toddler is growing up before my eyes and brought me more joy than ever in 2014.  Oh, and we sold our house.  Lived with my parents for 3 months.  Renovated a new house when I was 34 weeks pregnant (with said twins)…and moved in to new house when the boys were two weeks old.  Umm…. So yeah…probably one of our crazier/stressful years we’ve had….but WORTH EVERY SINGLE moment.  We are so incredibly happy…no, not all is perfect…but we feel so lucky and blessed to be living this wonderful life.  God is good, my friends.  We are alive, healthy and doing our thing.  What else is there?    Last picture in June as a family of three:     And first pictures as a family of five:   Say...

Whew!!!! Things have been BUSY lately, as I'm sure it has been for everyone else around too.  I made a promise that the Friday after Christmas we would do NOTHING.... Jammies, play time, cuddle time and couch time ALL day... But until then....  Last week we had my first office Christmas party (yes we have two... another one just for the attorneys tonight)  on Wednesay night and we haven't slowed down since. Friday was Collins preschool Christmas party and we took then whole fam:-). Weezie was off so we had the boys with us. So thankful that Mikey works for a bank and has so much time off! With bestie and future neighbor Mary Brooks! I also got blonder Friday morning before the party, and man... That makes ya feel good. If I won the lottery I would have someone blow out my hair EVERY DAMN DAY.  Friday night was our ELEVENTH annual ZTA girls Christmas party. We had big pledge classes but these (minus 5-6) are the girls that I hung out with... And I love every single on...

My girl, my world, my everything.    Collins will be THREE in two very short months.  I’m sure I’ll have another long, sappy post then… but a lot happens in two months in the life of a toddler so I wanted to do a little documenting on her now . This child.  How I love her.  Collins is sweet and sassy all rolled into one.  She’s still very shy when we first get to a group gathering or party/etc.  Give her about 30 minutes though and she’s good to do, running around and playing like normal.  Mikey and I often laugh about how shy she is when we go to things because at home?  WOW.  The girl never stops talking, singing and being silly.  She’s a MESS and she knows it.  She LOVES to play with baby dolls, grocery store and play pretend.  She can pretend play for hours and have a ball.  Her favorite is to go to the grocery store with her dolls and “shop” with real food items and “monies.”  She’s such a good little mommy ...

We had a fairly low key weekend around the Glenn household. We started out Friday night by meeting my grandparents and parents for dinner. Everyone (except Mikey and the boys) was going to see my niece in a dance performance afterwards.  Collins LOVED watching Belle dance... T was a spin off of the Nutcracker called Two Clara's, very cute.  Saturday morning we headed out as a family for breakfast and shopping. You can tell the boys thoroughly enjoyed their time at the mall ;-) We went over to a friends around 5 on Saturday, just a little hang out / birthday celebration. Colls had a blast with James and Avery! This cuteness happened Sunday before church and it makesy heart explode. I love the way Thomas looks a little unsure but is holding onto Collins' leg:-)   We attempted to make a gingerbread house after church and well, yeah.... That didn't go so well!! Ha! Sunday night we headed to one of our favorite Christmas traditions. The lights at Saluda shoals. Santa and the s...

5 months.    I continue to be amazed at how well my little nuggets are doing.  This is not to say they are perfect babies and we don’t have CRAZY nights sometimes…but I will say that going from ONE to THREE hasn’t been nearly as hard as I thought it would.  Sure, things are nuts around our house some nights and it sure takes a lot longer to go do anything/get ready in the morning/etc.  BUT, these boys are pretty darn good.  They both have nights where they need to be held or just fuss for about 30 minutes for no reason…but I can deal with that.  When we are out and about at night, they are usually perfect!  Crazy how that works.  They are generally pretty content during the day.  I am so proud of themJ   Our current routine:   Wake: anywhere  between 6:30 and 7:30 .  Most mornings I nurse them right at 7, but sometimes (especially on weekends) it’s not till  7:30 .  Graham is generally awake by 6:30 , but I ...
