Forgive me...

...for the less than stellar past couple of months of blog posting. It was not a coincidence that my blogging came to a complete halt when I got pregnant and Trey went back to clinicals. We have been busy but I am hoping now to slowly get caught up! Especially since I am pretty sure that once baby girl arrives blogging will again come to a standstill!

"I know all of my fans out there have missed this face but Mom just could not get her act together! I don't know why either since I practically take care of myself!" ;-)

Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 1

On Mothers' Day, Trey, Henry, and I left to spend a few days in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Surprisingly, this was the very first vacation that the three of us have taken without any other friends and family. We had an absolute blast being together. This will definitely become an annual tradition!

We spent the afternoon of Mothers' Day at Broadway at the Beach which is a huge area of Myrtle Beach with lots of shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, which of course would include...

...large dinosaurs to climb on,

a playground for little monkeys to climb on,

and a restaurant that has a clown that makes balloon animals (or in Henry's case, a sword)! :-)

I could not have asked for a more perfect way to spend Mothers' Day...with my two favorite men!

Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 2

It is really so much fun to share these experiences with Henry because everything to him is exciting and awesome!

All Henry could say after his feet hit the sand was "Oh my!"

Letting the ocean water touch his feet...

"What do you think Henry?!"

I think he likes it! :-)

So very relaxed and happy...



These two enjoy every single minute together! :-)

Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 3

We spent most of our time on vacation at the beach which was just fine with Henry!

Trey and Henry working on a sandcastle...



I left most of the sandcastle-building to Trey and Henry but I did get out of my beach chair long enough for a picture. :-)



Taking turns burying each other's feet...

Our little beach bum...

Henry taking a breather from all of his hard "work"...

Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 4

So our condo had a great pool with a lazy river and a huge, separate section just for the kids. But Henry did not want anything to do with any of that. He only wanted to be at the beach.

This was the one and only time we got silly Henry in the pool...

Myrtle Beach Vacation Part 5

For the most part the weather was absolutely beautiful but one day was a little cold and windy so we decided to visit the Nascar park. (My Northern friends and family can stop laughing now! This is serious stuff down here! Hahaha!)

Trey and Henry posing in front of the race cars...



Henry and Trey demonstrating how motorcyclists drive in South Carolina - no helmets!



"This one is for you Uncle Tommy! Daddy was very impressed with my aim but between you and me I don't think Mommy was too happy!" :-)



Anyone who knows me knows that I plan my days around meals. There was no shortage of yummy food in Myrtle Beach either!

"Let's get crackin'!"



No vacation is complete without at least one stop-off at Krispy Kreme!



Thanks boys for such a wonderful, fun, laughter-filled, relaxing few days. I look forward to many, many more getaways together! I love you both!

Introducing...

Trey, Henry, and I would like to introduce you to our baby GIRL who is now 24 weeks old!



She is a kicker like her brother was and holds playtime every evening around 10 p.m. She loves salty foods and actually convinced her Mommy to eat a whole jar of olives in one sitting!

Her big brother loves to talk to his sister by yelling at Mommy's stomach. He also loves to sing her his favorite song right now - Power Tools by Handy Manny. He will randomly lay his head down on Mommy's stomach like he is giving her a hug.

Sweet girl, you are loved more than you could ever imagine and your Mommy, Daddy, and Big Brother look forward to the day when we can finally meet you! :-)
