Happy Day at the Beach

These are actually from our first full day at the beach, but I am just now putting them up.
This is a mixture of things:
1. Davis is stubborn/has a temper
2. He got that from his dad.
3. Suntan Lotion got in his eyes.
4. He was ready for a nap that we hadn't planned on
5. His mother is mocking him.






This really has been a one time occurrence. Davis has loved the beach, running in the water and digging in the sand.
We just had to learn his schedule and when to put sunscreen on!

Sorry for the lack of updates while at the beach. One reason. Laziness.
Its been a great week thus far and Davis and Annie are doing well.
Here are a few pics. enjoy.
Davis has gone back to two naps during the day because of the playing on the beach and being tired. The craziest thing with Davis is that he can be down stairs playing and you say, "Davis, you want to go get monkey and paci?" And Davis drops the toys, watching tv, playing, whatever it might be...starts laughing and goes to the stairs. This kid just loves to sleep and take naps.






Annie is enjoying her view from the window. She did venture to the beach one day but we decided she was more comfortable inside instead of under the tent.

Sorry for the delay in posting, i'm sure you haven't known what to do with yourselves.
Things continue to go great with our new family of four.
Annie is putting on weight well, this week she was almost 12 pounds at her one month check up.
One day this week she slept through the night... that is just crazy. 10-6:45. Most nights she sleep from about 10-4 and then up again at 7.

Davis is smarter than I am now.


We are heading to the beach with the Fendleys tomorrow. Should be a great week of relaxation. Here is a picture of Davis at the beach with the Fendleys last year, and a picture of Davis last week at my parent's house. What a difference a year makes.



We will try to get some updates while we are at the beach. Annie will hopefully do as well on car rides as Davis has done.

SMIM play date!!

Tuesday morning we had a swimming play date with Thomas Brown and Esther and Nell Pattison at JC's parents house! The kids had a ball and loved playing in the hot tub (it was more their size!!) Emily Jenkins (my cousin), and two other friends, Erin Accardi and Yegi Cole came to be extra hands and help with the kids. We then enjoyed a little picnic in the shade on a blanket.. Meg said she thinks we need to make this a bi-monthly event- I AGREE! Here are a few pictures of from the day!

Annie's first wedding!

We had a great weekend! We went to our friend Chase Pattison's wedding. It was a perfect night for a wedding. Catherine his bride looked beautiful. We got a babysitter for Davis and took Annie with us. We sat in the back of the church just in case but she was perfect... she slept through the ceremony and then was wide awake and happy at the reception. Here are a few pictures of Annie in her sweet little dress, and my favorite which is her little monogrammed bloomers! Also a few of JC and I and our family. From left to right in the group pic is my brother Hunter and his wife Suzanne, my cousin Emily and her husband Andrew and then my cousin Scott and his girlfriend Amy.
Til next time...

Davis' 1st Haircut

We had our Friday Family Breakfast this morning at IHOP. I continue to love this tradition of getting up and taking the family to breakfast. Annie just slept through all the goodness. Davis enjoyed some pancakes and lots the sausage links out of Katie's pigs in a blanket.
After breakfast we took Davis to get his first haircut. We have trimmed him up a little bit here at the house but decided it was time for his first big boy haircut. We debated about where to take him and ended up at the barber shop where I get my hair cut.
Paul had the honor of doing Davis' first trim.




Davis was not very fond of the cape around the neck so we ended up just letting the hair fall all over him. He did enjoy the brush at the end with the baby powder. We were saying it is crazy that now he will get his haircut for the rest of his life. He's growing up so fast.

3 week check-in!!

Well hello faithful friends... its Katie posting today. I am learning how to do this so JC doesn't always have to be the one updating this. Anyway we are three weeks into being a family of four and all is going well. We have had so many great friends provide meals for us and we are grateful. It really is such a big help.. to not have to even think about dinner- WOW what a gift.

I am getting used to being at home with two kids but we are VERY soon going to buy a double stroller so we can get out for a stroll around the block or a visit to the mall. I am also getting used to the idea of not going back to work. May 31st was my last day with Young LIfe and that has honestly been harder than I thought. I loved my job and am praying for a continued peace about not working. I do trust that its all in the right timing and even yesterday as both the kids were sleeping in the car I had a few minutes of time alone and know that the Lord is teaching me so much already about where He has me and why.

Annie is still seeping like a champ and Davis is as fun as ever... you can see below he has found Annie's pacis.. and that has been humorous to him. JC schedule in the summer is a little less intense so it has been great having him home in the afternoons. He is the best dad ever ( i know I am a little bias of course) and he is so great about helping do anything and everything around the house (thanks to his parents for raising him so well!!)

Thats all for now... peace out!

Just for fun

Sorry it's been a while since a post, back to work, 2 kids and honestly we just haven't taken any pics in a while, and I know that is what you really want to see!

So here is something just to make you laugh.
If you don't know Brian Regan you should. He's funny and clean.
Enjoy.
