Vanderbilt Homecoming

I crashed Vanderbilt Homecoming for the class of 2001 with Julie & Rebecca and it was such a great weekend!  The 3 of us haven't been together at the same time for about 3 years, so we had a great time catching up and it felt just like old times!!  I am so thankful that God had plans for our lives to intertwine at Vanderbilt and be life long friends!

Lunch at Pei Wei after our Birthday Extravaganza at Lululemon :)

While I was in Nashville, I also got to meet up with some other sweet friends that I hate not living right down the road from now that I'm in Memphis.

And of course...my little sweet pea :)

Big Girl Haircut

Madison Claire got her hair trimmed when we were in Nashville a few weeks ago.  Cheryl's stylist, Kim, was gracious enough to get us in at the last minute so she could pamper MC.  This haircut went much more smoothly than her first one!

Love her face in the mirror in these

My Big Backyard

A nice backyard is top of our list for our new house here in Memphis.  While we are looking for our own "big backyard" we've been enjoying our membership at the Memphis Botanical Gardens where they have an area just for kids called "My Big Backyard".  It's really great - these pictures don't really do it justice!  Madison Claire loves going and will often ask to go "to Garden" which sounds a little like "go to God" when she says it.  Here are a few pictures from a few of our trips!

A Rare Quiet Moment

I've been so busy with work lately, that it it rare that I find quiet moments to just relax with my babies.  Ryan caught this picture one day and it is so special to me so I wanted to share...

Picture Day

Happy Birthday to Jacob!

We took a trip to Atlanta for Jacob's first birthday party.  It was a quick trip, but well worth it to get to spend time with my sweet sister and her family.   Madison Claire and Jacob had so much fun together playing at Mimi's house and the park.  It is so much fun to watch them together...I can't wait until Baby Mac is old enough to join in on the fun!  Happy Birthday, Jacob!!  We LOVE YOU!
