Sister & Brother

Emma loves Henry, & Henry loves her! I love that they are starting to interact more.  Henry just watches her & smiles at her - they were sooo sweet! 

Meeting Mommy's Friends!

My sweet friend Jenifer was in town for a few days & we were able to see her! Jeni came down with Jamie, so was on a few days vacation from work.  Sadly this was the day our air conditioner was out, so it was rather warm in my house, but they came anyway :) 

Meeting Jeni

Talking to Jamie

He gave Jamie some good smiles, he took a little nap in between Jeni & Jamie, so was a little happier. 

Once our AC was back on (YAY!) we cooled off the rest of the day. Henry is now starting to like his play yard & Emma loves to play with him. 

July 4th Do-Over!

On July 4th this year, we were driving home from our beach vacation, so it didn't go quite like I expected. Emma had an accident & had to change clothes on the way home, so I never got a picture of the kiddos together in their July 4th outfits. Emma put her dress on last week, so I went ahead and dressed Henry in his patriotic attire too :) 

I also bought a July 4th cupcake mix back before we decided to go out of town which we never made, so I figured this was the perfect day.  While Henry napped, Emma & I made cupcakes!

When David got home, I told him about our do-over, & he had recorded a few minutes of the fireworks we saw on the real July 4th & showed them to Emma, so we celebrated our redo complete with fireworks LOL.  David brought our extra cupcakes to work the next day, telling everyone Happy 4th of July. We are totally crazy. But the fun kind.

Playdate with Jack!

We've been so thankful to get to spend precious time this summer with my friend Valerie & her son Jack.  I am beyond jealous that she gets summers off EVERY year (not just when on maternity leave - ha!) Last week, Valerie & Jack headed down to our house for some play time. 

Henry likes Valerie :) 

Emma likes Jack! We'll show this on their wedding slide show one day :) 

Giving hugs!

Oh and of course, this cute little guy was there too! 

We have had the best time with them, between playdates at our houses & at the splashparks. I am so sad my "summer" is drawing to a close & I will go back to work on Monday :(

Playing with Our Cousins!

After David & my day away, we headed up to Grandma & Grandpa's to visit.  We enjoyed dinner & Emma loved playing with her cousins. 

Two sweet redheaded boys!

Emma sure does love her cousins!

6th Anniversary Weekend!

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on July 16th (I had a special post that day!) We were blessed to get to spend 24 hours, just the 2 of us! 

First, we dropped the kiddos off at Nanny & Papa's house to stay with them.

Then we went to Goldberg's in Roswell for lunch. It's a bagel place & deli.  It had a take-out side & a restaurant side. We'd never been before, but really enjoyed it. I had a BLT & David had a cheeseburger. 

Then we went to see Midnight in Paris.  I honestly can't remember the last time I had been to a movie in the theater. Very sad getting old. We enjoyed the movie & then headed to the hotel to check in. 

We stayed at the Westin by Perimeter Mall.  Once we were all checked in, we got ready for our romantic dinner out :) 

We were early leaving for our reservation, so we drove around Buckhead a little & made a quick stop at the Container Store (my new favorite place!!!) We picked up a Christmas gift & a new cup for Emma, but I could have spent a fortune & a few days at that store!

Then it was time for our dinner! We went to Bones & quickly remembered why we liked it so much the first time we went. I ordered filet & mashed potatoes to share, & David ordered the same filet as me & an  order of scallops. I was unable to finish mine, but David helped my filet to not go to waste. Needless to say, he was rather full, so we waited on dessert!

After dinner we went to Perimeter Mall & walked around, making sure to visit one of our favorite places....the Apple Store.

Finally we were ready for dessert & decided to try Pinkberry. It was very very yummy. We stopped by Quik Trip for a coke & headed back to the hotel. At the hotel, we watched a movie on Netflix & then called it a night.

The next morning, we got ready & headed to the Cheesecake Factory for brunch. Sadly, I decided it was a little too early for cheesecake, so we passed on dessert.  Then we headed back to get the kiddos, who missed us & were glad to see us! We were glad to hear how good they were for Nanny & Papa, & how well they both slept at their house! I think that means they'll keep them over night again! :)

Spending the weekend with David was the best anniversary present I could ask for!  I'm so glad to know that 6 years & 2 kids later, we still like each other!  We both enjoyed spending time together - it was a great break!

Dinner with Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was in town for a few days & we were able to meet her for dinner at Chili's! We had so much fun catching up with her. I mistakenly let Emma sit by her & put Henry by me... Henry slept the entire meal (until I woke him up to feed him), yet Emma "needed assistance." 

Emma wanted help with her corn on the cob... she loves corn! 

And then Elizabeth got to hold & feed Henry!

Elizabeth is so sweet, she didn't mind my crazy children.  :)
