Sea Island

We went with my whole family to Sea Island for Memorial Week. It was SO much fun!!! All 5 kids were healthy and happy and loved being together. We took 2 babysitters with us this year, which was the BEST decision ... it was so nice to have extra hands and eyes and took away a lot of stress. Our weather was great and we truly enjoyed relaxing and simply spending time with each other. Thanks Mom and Dad for a WONDERFUL trip.

New York

I got a real treat at the beginning of this week ... a trip to New York!!!!!! My mom, sisters-in-law and I took a little girls trip to shop, eat, and relax. My dad and Wilson were also there for business, so we got to have dinners with them. It really was a perfect little get-away, and I appreciate Kevin for playing Mr. Mom and Devon and Courtney for helping out with Graham. He wasn't quite as excited to see me when I returned as I hoped, so I don't think he missed me too much :) On a side note, I had another ultrasound on Thur. and Baby A is 1 pound and Baby B is 14 oz ... my doctor is very pleased with everything!!

Photo Shoot

Katy Southern came to our house last week to take some professional pictures of Graham. I am very excited about how they turned out. If you want to see the whole gallery (34 pics) go to her website: www.katysouthern.com and click on Clients then type in graham (all lowercase) as the password. She's great and I highly recommend her to any of you here in the Nashville area wanting pics of your kids/family.

Our Mister

This is by far the hardest post I have ever had to write. I accidentally hit Mister with the car, and his wounds were too severe, so we had to put him down on Sunday afternoon. We truly do feel so heart-broken. He was a member of our family and part of our every day lives for the past 4 years, so it is a very tough loss. I know it was a complete accident, but that doesn't make it any easier on me. And Graham continually asking about him is killing me. I am sad he won't ever remember him but happy that he doesn't have to feel this grief and pain. Our house and yard are just not the same at all without him. We have wonderful memories of our crazy, precious little dog and know time will heal our wounds.

Allergic Reaction and Ultrasound

I made Graham his first peanut butter and jelly sandwich earlier this week, and it did not go so well. Within 2-3 minutes after eating a very small amount, he started sneezing and welts were all over his face, arms, and legs. His eyes were watering terribly, too. We jumped in the car to get some Benadryl (Graham was wailing all the way) and it worked its magic. So, a word to all of you moms out there, make sure you have Benadryl in the house before you give your child peanut butter for the first time :) He's fine and has had no more symptoms ... I guess we'll just steer clear of peanut butter ... BUMMER!!

I had my mid-way ultrasound today and all looked good with both Baby A and Baby B. Much to the dismay of many friends and family we did not find out the sexes ... you'll just have to hold out another 4ish months!! Baby A was much calmer and more cooperative for all of the pictures than Baby B. At one point I saw Baby B's foot and I asked, "Is that touching its head?" and the sonogramer informed me that it was touching Baby A's head :) Baby A measured 10 oz. and Baby B 8 oz. which is fine for now, but my doctor wants to continually watch their growth to make sure the discrepancy doesn't increase. I'm feeling lots of movement lately but I can't distinguish one from the other yet. We'll keep you posted!!

Jodie's Girls Weekend

One of my college roommates, Jodie, is getting married in May and came to Nashville for a fun girls weekend. It was so fun having her here, and we can't wait for the wedding next month :)

Happy Easter

We had a WONDERFUL Easter!!! We went to church on Saturday night and then spent pretty much ALL day on Sunday at Jackson and Margie's house eating, hanging out, and watching the Masters. What a special weekend to celebrate Jesus' resurrection and spend time with family.

One cute little boy!!
