Several weeks ago (I’m waaaay behind on blogging) – we had a weekend full of fun with Kevin’s family. His dad was having a milestone birthday, so Daneille flew Kellie & Nick in as a surprise for him. We thought, well wouldn’t it be fun to surprise Kellie & Nick with a baby shower that weekend, too! And so we did. I even think Kel & Nick were surprised (maybe not Jeff, though). Here’s the table set-up at our house.
Later that evening we headed to Dunston’s for a birthday dinner for Jeff!
Happy Birthday Jeff (or G.J. to Will)! We hope you have had a wonderful day! Thank you for being such a great dad to my husband, grandfather to my son, and father-in-law to me! You are always helping us out in one way or another and we are very thankful! Mostly we are thankful that you spend so much time with us – I know how much Will loves his G.J.! Happy, Happy Birthday!
Not for me, though I surely could use one! We got new floors! I can’t tell you how crazy excited I was to do this. And while I got a little nervous, I think it turned out better than I could have imagined. It makes me so glad we splurged. Here are the comparisons. We did the living, dining, and front hallway.

This one I’m almost embarrassed to post. This is what made me want to do this so badly. Icky carpet in a high traffic area. Bye, bye carpet!
Also helpful to look back at the before of the ugly wall. Slowly but surely we're making this place a warm cozy home!
That seems to be my theme for blogging lately. Kind of like how we celebrated Lindsey’s birthday oh you know several weeks late (and that was almost 2 weeks ago!). Oh well! We did celebrate sweet Lindsey’s birthday with a yummy chocolate cake!
We recently took a trip to South Carolina to visit my great aunt and uncle. We hadn’t seen them since my wedding and they invited us to come…so we went! We were nervous about our first flight with Will. All things considered, he did really well. We learned a few things and the trip back was easier than the trip there.
Aunt Juli took us on a sailboat ride on Friday. Will loved this. He loves boats – and it was a great (hot) way to spend an afternoon.
Here are some pictures of our lovely hosts. They live in a neat retirement community. Their social life is awesome!
On Saturday, we took Will to this neat Children’s Museum that was perfect for Will. He could run and explore and not mess anything up!
On Sunday we took him to the beach. We didn’t stay long because we had to get back. I wish we had planned to go for the day because Will loved it! I was shocked. You never know with him. He ran up to the waves and back to the beach. He kept saying….come here wave. So cute. He couldn’t get enough. I have some priceless video of him running in and out of the water. I know I’m posting way too many pics, but there were so many cute ones!
Good times and good memories made! Successful first trip wit Will!
