party of SEVEN

We brought this little peanut home today.

Baby M was born on 10/31. He was discharged from the hospital today.

We will love him for as long as they need us to.

Tummy Time (pic from 11/24)

It was really sweet.  The kids came in from playing outside and one by one they all laid down and checked him out. First Ella, then Wren, then Lily, then Benny. We've had a good (and busy) first week and they love him.

Battleship NC Half Marathon

 JAKE has been training for the Battleship NC Half Marathon.

Packet pick up last night was on the Battleship NC.

The route for this morning's race.

Pre-race: we're ready to cheer Daddy on!

Post-race: notice the girls plugging their noses

So proud of Daddy and all his hard work!

Cape Fear Kite Festival

Last year, was our families first time going to the Cape Fear Kite Festival.  We absolutely loved it and knew we needed to make it a yearly tradition. It was a windy day but the kites were beautiful!

Benny lost a tooth!

While Lily and I were at Medieval Times, this guy pulled out his own FIRST tooth!

Medieval Times with Lily

Lily's Fourth grade class had a field trip to Medieval Times in Myrtle Beach, SC. Jake was off of work and able to watch Benny & Wren, so I was able to go with Lily.  We had a wonderful time! Lily absolutely loved the whole experience.
