Visit to Memphis

Neither Graham nor I had left the city of Nashville in 2009, so we thought it was time and took a little trip to Memphis. We had a WONDERFUL week spending so much time with family. He loved all of his time with all 4 grandparents, and they sure do love that little boy!!

Trip to the Zoo

Graham and I went to the zoo this morning with friends Annie and Parker Haralson. The weather could not be more beautiful today ... the kind of day you want to bottle up and have all year round. Graham loved the monkeys, elephants, giraffes, meerkats, and zebras. And of course, he loved it when we stopped for lunch :) I'm trying to cherish these last months of moments with just Graham. I really have no idea what it is going to be like when there are others around to share the love ... boy, am I blessed to get to find out!! Speaking of others, I dreamed this week that I was giving birth and the first baby was a boy, but I woke up before I had the second one :)


There are giraffes back there, I promise

Who cares about animals when there is a golf cart around


I threw this last one in for a smile, and yes, that is spaghetti on the wall

Happy Birthday Evie and Fun Playing Outside

We went to Evie's 2nd birthday party this weekend ... it was fun and obvious that she felt very special. I told Graham that I hoped he enjoyed it since he will not be getting a 2nd birthday party of his own :) I'm not sure who is enjoying this amazing weather lately more ... Graham or me? we are spending TONS of time outside and loving every minute of it. I've decided that Graham is going to have continual skinned knees this spring and summer ... maybe I should invest in some knee pads!! Graham's half-birthday was last Thur. and we took him to Maggie Moo's after dinner, but he didn't really like the ice cream. Maybe it was too cold. Hey, I'm not complaining ... I'd rather him continue to love his fruits and veggies anyway. I've definitely felt better this week and went to my doctor last Fri. and heard both heartbeats. One was noticeably faster than the other ... maybe one's a girl and one's a boy!!
Happy Birthday Evie!!!

Smoothie King

I am very into smoothies lately, and Graham has learned to love my new passion as well. He gets so excited when we go into Smoothie King and loves the noise of the blender. I used to just give him a few sips, but now it's "more" and "please" over and over. So now, I put the cup in his seat and push the straw up high enough so he can drink it all the way home ... then when we're home, I tell him it's Mommy's. My boy sure loves to eat and drink and would do it all day long if I let him.

Look Closely

No, my friends, your eyes are not deceiving you. That is TWO babies you see in my ultrasound picture!! Graham is going to be a big brother and he's not only getting one sibling, he's getting 2. I find myself still having a hard time saying it, but we're having TWINS!!! It was definitely the shock of my life (and I'm sure Kevin's when I had to tell him on the phone since he was out of town). We are absolutely thrilled, especially about the long-term. I'm not going to lie, the short-term freaks me out!! My life is going to be completely insane with 3 kids under the age of 2 :) But I keep reminding myself that with twins, it's double the love!! I'm due Sept. 16 (which ironically is my grandfather's (who is a twin) birthday), so I am almost 13 weeks along. I hope and pray for a smooth pregnancy and healthy babies. I'll keep you posted!!

Fun with Friends

Two of my college roomates, Robin and Katherine, and their kiddos came to Nashville for a visit. We hadn't seen each other in a while, and it was so fun to be together. We had a blast, and I hope we can do it again soon!!
