Turning Three

Thing 2 has turned three. My intense, funny, cuddly, sound effects guy is growing quickly! What do you say? "Stop it!" ? I'd like to stop the hands of time, as most parents on good days. These days lately are good. Lots of energy, plenty of refereeing and lots of love.

For the birthday boy we had a party at mom's, an overnight adventure to St. Simons Islands and then a playdate with cupcakes! What fun!

Atlanta visit and the party that wasn't...

We went for our little cousin, H's first birthday, so excited and ready to party! Then... the sickness hit. BLAH. No party there! However for the short time we were able to go hang we had a great time! And the pictures testify, H was at home resting not out at playtime! Watch for updated party pics to come!

Cousin Turned Two:

Our sweet little cousin C. just turned two! To take you there here is the party in pictures..

First Camping Trip: Mothers Day

Do you realize how insanely expensive hotels are???? I didn't until last Thursday.

This weekend we spontaneously went CAMPING! Ok, confession, we have been camping one time in our whole marriage and actually that was while we were dating! So this was a great opportunity to learn and grow. And attempt to keep sane. I am happy to report we did all three and had fun to boot!

We also made a promise to ourselves: go camping more. it's not so intimidating really. I have always had this hatred for camp cooking... it was a mysterious Everest... one I really skipped around this weekend. (Sandwiches and snacks. A wedding reception. 1 meal out.) But I realize now it doesn't have to be complex or even involve a Coleman camping stove.

Here are some highlights...

Arrive LATE and set tent up via head light
