14 Months Old!!!!

Gosh, where has the time gone? Our CRAZY and WILD little man is 14 months old!!!!! He is walking everywhere, on the verge of running is more like it. He just LOVES to chase his big brother. He LOVES to pretend to talk on the phone. He LOVES LOVES LOVES to eat anything and everything. He is our climber with absolutely no fear. He is definitely like his daddy. He is our comedian. And FINALLY has 5 teeth now; they seem to be emerging every couple of weeks. I'm not sure of his weight and height right now, but I know he has gotten taller and he is heavier and is wearing 18 month clothes. He is growing up!!!!

Best of Friends!!!!!


He is on the move and nothing can stop him.....

Heading SOUTH to Charleston. SC......

While my parents were visiting us, we decided to head south for an overnight in Charleston, SC. What a BEAUTIFUL city with AMAZING history. We definitely want to spend some more time there; so many fun things to see. We ate yummy food, walked around the city, and took a carriage ride.

We were all so excited to have Grandma & Grandpa come out, actually drive out, for a wonderful visit. We had so much fun visiting, watching movies, playing, eating yummy food, celebrating a birthday, BBQing, going on an overnight to Charleston, and just having good family time together. We all had a blast. Love you and miss you. Thank you for EVERYTHING!!!!

A Trip to the Greensboro Children's Museum....

Last week we decided to head over to Greensboro to check out the Children's Museum; the boys had a BLAST!!!!!! What a great place. They had a fire truck, a mail truck, a race car, a train, a DC-9 cockpit, a newsroom, a dentist office, a doctors office, a theater, a Pizza Parlor, a Grocery store, and the list goes on. What a fun family day!!!!!
