Supper Club

Our menu: bbq sandwiches, slaw, hushpuppies, green beans, boiled potatoes, sweet tea, banana pudding and key lime pie

Our wonderful friends, Anna and Ben Williams

I was a pitiful photographer, we had a great time. This was the only shot I got. It was great to have everyone over, and it was wonderful to have a kid free house for the night. It was eerily quiet, but so nice to wake up after 7am

Lillian walked into our room yesterday all decked out. She is ready to sweat with the oldies

Don't you love the Toy Story band aid that Harrison gave her and her brother's Crocs.

I put Lillian's hair in a ponytail yesterday and it was too cute.

Sleep Over

time to walk the babies

bath time

jammie time

Aunt Anna and Uncle Jason kept Lillian overnight while we hosted our supper club. As you can see from the pictures, they had a great time. Thank you both so much for being such great Godparents and friends. Mmmmwwwahhh!

And so it begins

Busted! Always into the hair bands, she likes to use them for bracelets. I cannot turn my back for 2 seconds with this one.

Got the shades on too

Lillian likes to look through Harrison's "special drawer" when he is at school.

Aunt Milly sent her a pair of pink Uggs. They complete her lovely ensemble.

"Bee Bee, Bee Bee"

Lillian is the comedian of the family. Lately, she is into bandaids and bracelets and accessories galore. She is always walking around with her shoes on the wrong feet and her sunglasses upside down. It makes me just adore her even more. Always smiling and having fun. My little Betsey Johnson. You should see her dance in the kitchen with all her fanciness on. I will have to get it on video. I can only imagine what she will be like at 13.

Kinda Sweaty

There they are!

snack break

Harrison was very into driving the mini sailboats

can you tell it was about a million degrees out!?! Ick

Time for a train ride

We had to drink lots of water all day. Harrison was soaked with sweat, and kept saying "I am just kinda sweaty." Just a tad bud

We spent all day Monday at the Durham Life and Science Museum. Instead of doing our usual inside exhibits, we explored all the cool stuff outside that we never have time for. Harrison especially liked the butterfly house and Lillian thought the bears were cool. She kept "roaring" every time she saw one.

I need two (or three) of everything

Harrison stealing Lillian's baby stroller

Harrison hogging both strollers. I have to point out how I could eat Lillian up when she wears her shoes on the wrong feet. Pitiful sad face

Lillian snatching it back

Daddy helping negotiate the sharing

Everyone is happy

And they are off...

Stroller races around and around the house. My carpets are falling apart, but whatever. One day I will be old and gray with nice intact carpets, but I will miss the stroller racing days.

"I just really love to talk"

Daddy: "Harrison, why do you ask so many questions?"
Harrison: "Because, I just really love to talk a lot"

Harrison: "Mommy, when dogs die how do they get up to Kevin?"

They came, they saw, they conquered

Lillian would not let go of the darn shovel

Sorry Harrison was being three and would not cooperate for the goodbye pictures.

My parents came for the weekend, and we had so much fun that I forgot to take pictures. Harrison and my dad hit up their usual spot;the hotel pool. My mom and I got the kids fall shoes, jammies, clothes and of course Harrison's first lunch box. Nona loves to spoil us. We went out Saturday for a delicious meal and had such wonderful conversation. We can't wait to see you again soon. We love you, Nona and Papa. You are just the best. Thank you for everything.

Copycat

Harrison always puts his undies on his head when he changes his clothes. Lillian thinks it is so funny when he does it. This morning she found her diaper cover and came strutting into my room. I am so glad I had my camera handy. She is such a riot!

What up?

You can't catch me

Time to re-adjust my "hat"

This is better...

More fun with frog tent

Last weekend we pulled out the good ol' frog tent for the kids to play in. Lillian brought all her books in and just thought it was so much fun.

Daddy sure does love his girl

Lillian is all about books now. She will back up into your lap and listen for an hour

Winston is just happy to be in the mix. He found Harrison's pillow to be just his size.
