VA Trip Part 2

Oh Monday...you're here again. Wouldn't it be nice to have more weekend days than work days? Anyway. One day down and 4 to go!

On to the rest of my vacation :) Sorry again about the photo quality - remember I only had my iphone.

Mom, Meg, and I hiked up to the top of Sharp Top Mountain one beautiful sunny day!

Almost to the top...

Squinting :)

The drive isn't far and it was so fun!

We came across these on the way home...even though it was 60 degrees here in VT today we're still a long way from seeing those spring flowers!

They made me do it. I wasn't looking my best but I'll show you anyway.

We also did some nursery dresser shopping. Meg and Mom went with me to every one of my favorite stores but we didn't come out with anything. (Although I found one here in VT last week - nursery update to come!) We did come across some interesting things. We ventured into a new "store" downtown and came across this sight. WOW. We weren't quite sure what to make of this bike collection. We were only on floor 2 of 5 but Meg refused to go any farther :)

Mom and Meg also suffered through maternity clothes shopping with me. It wasn't pretty (think work clothes and bathing suits) but it was productive. Thank you thank you to you both!! I am appreciative - especially now that I have something to wear to work and for my coming up spring break :)

Of course before I left I snuggled a baby one more time.

Miss you all!

Happy New Year!

Hello blog friends! Happy New Year!




Did you make resolutions? We did - I'll share at some point soon :)

I've been away from the blog for a long while...we went to Virginia for Christmas and then on a trip with my family to sunny Florida! It was hard to tear myself away from the warmth and head back to winter in Vermont but it feels good to be home. I'll get the Florida pics together at some point to show you.

I didn't take too many pics in Virginia this time. Our trip was short, but we did manage to squeeze in some time with both family and friends.

Kate had a Christmas brunch so I was able to snuggle my baby Worth some more. I'm a bit selfish with my baby holding time but he's just too cute to give up!

Will had fun at her grandparents' house...they also kept her for 6 days while we were in Florida and we're so thankful for that!

Hoping to sneak some Christmas breakfast...

The only other pics I took were of Ben trying on his Santa suit for the Christmas Eve party - the pics don't begin show how hilarious it was.

We were totally spoiled this year at Christmas with gifts for our house (lucky me to have an interior decorator as my mother-in-law so everything coordinates...although she claims I'm her hardest free client...perhaps my resolution should be to be more decisive) and a big vacation!

I'll be back....

FINALLY!

Over Thanksgiving I finally had the chance to meet my babies. I've posted about the big baby shower on the blog before but as a reminder three of my best friends from college had babies this fall. I had the chance to meet two my new favorite people - a surrogate neice and nephew :) I apologize that I haven't edited these pics but if I wait until I have time for that I'll never post them so here you go...

Worth belongs to my friend Kate and was the most precious boy ever. Just take one look at him. He makes the cutest faces and I loved watching him take in the world.

Kate is looking so fabulous - you would never know she had a baby 5 weeks ago!

Me, on the other hand, not so fab looking but I had to document our first meeting :)

Baby legs :)

I had the chance to see Worth over several days - lucky me. We enjoyed going out to lunch twice and were joined on the second day by Lizzie who drove down to spend the afternoon with us. Love you Lizzie and thanks for making the trip!

We drove to Richmond to meet baby Katherine on Saturday - so perfect and adorable! I couldn't get my fill of looking at her either and only had 5 hours to see her (it was so hard to pull myself away). Sarah is looking equally as amazing, but wouldn't pose for me take her pic :)

K was decked out in her game day attire cheering on UVA looking adorable. It didn't help us win but she played her part - even giving a little cheer as she was falling asleep!

She had the most adorable fingers so I took some extra pics of those :)

I mean, come on, this is the ultimate in cuteness!

It's so amazing to see my friends in their new role as parents - they are naturals. These are some lucky babes to be surrounded by so much love :) I didn't get nearly enough time with either new mom and am so missing living close to them right now!

Heath and Bea Part 2!

Hello blog friends. Sorry for my absence and for taking the blog down for a bit. I wanted to edit some content and had to make the blog private in order to take time to do so.

It was so nice to be home again this weekend....We had gorgeous weather and spent some time hiking, some time with friends, and some time getting things done around the house. I will get to updating you at some point :)

For now, it's time to share pics of Heath and Bea's wedding day! It was gorgeous that day as well, so lucky :) We weren't allowed to take pics inside the church, so I'm going to start with the reception. We rode the trolley over from the church.
