Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day! We spent the day as a family, remembering those who gave their lives for us so we have the freedom to live in such a great country. We played at the pool since it was such a beautiful day! Joli spent the day with us also!




We played in the water for about a half hour before Charlotte was ready to snuggle up in her towel!
And have a snack of course!
We came home and the girls took naps. Chris also took a nap on the lawn! They played in the sandbox more once they woke up!

Lisa's Baby Shower!

Yesterday we had Lisa and Joe's "Manshower" at the beach! Charlotte was thrilled to have a big sandbox!And thrilled to see Lisa!

Sam and Baby Berkley!Charlotte got her swimming gear on, but the only thing she did was a face plant in the sand!
Poor sandy baby!
She was so tired so Chris brought her home for a nap and I stayed and hung out!
Lilly was very charming and lovey!
Syrus and Joli were very excited to dig in the sand all afternoon!
There were lots of baby kisses!
Cole got soaked in the ocean and ran around in his diaper the rest of the day before passing out in the back of Lisa's car!
I didn't get too many pictures Lisa and her belly, but here's a great one with the cake!!
It was such a fun day! Now we're ready to meet the baby boy!

Pool and Trike!

On Friday afternoon after Summer's Past, it was too late in the afternoon for Charlotte to nap by the time we got home, so we brought out her kiddie pool and she had a popsicle and ran around naked until Chris finished putting her new Tricycle together!Of course, she wanted to drink water!
Excited face...
... and scrunchy face!
Belly!
She is really good at pouring cups of water and sand now. She just doesn't care if it goes the right way into the water mill!
Charlotte waited while Chris put together her tricycle!
Time to ride! She was a bit apprehensive at first, but now she loves it!
She carries her helmet around the house now when she wants to go for a ride!
We walked down to check out the new playground they are putting in!
I see many more bike rides in our future!

Playgrounds and Daddy!

Wednesday morning we met Lisa and her friend Jessica at the park to let the kids play! Charlotte was so happy to see Lisa and cried whenever Lisa would walk away to take care of her own child!Yup, we're definitely in trouble once the baby comes!

Charlotte joined Joli in the sandbox for a little while, but wanted to stay close to me and Lisa!
She thought it was more fun to empty the contents of my bag than play on the actual playground!
Lisa at 37 weeks!
We got home from the playground and Chris called to say he was going to be home in about an hour and a half, so Charlotte skipped her nap and we went to the airport to pick him up!
Charlotte was so glad to have Daddy home again!

Thursday we went to the playground again to join some of our friends from the school I used to work at. Charlotte had a blast on the swings!

Summer's Past!

Lisa called this morning to see if we wanted to join her and the girls to go out to Summer's Past. Lisa's friend Jessica and her son Cole, and her Sister-In-Law Ashley and baby Berkley are in town for Lisa's baby shower so they sent Joe and his brother Sam off to do manly things and we headed out to the gardens! Chris only had to work for a bit this morning, and he was very excited to join the girls at Summer's Past! Charlotte loved the bunny!
She wore her new fairy dress, but it was a bit big and she kept tripping on it.
We brought a picnic lunch and Charlotte loved mooching off of everyone else's food!
Charlotte was very excited to see Lisa. Lisa thinks that she is going to have more of a jealousy issue with the new baby and Charlotte, than Joli and the baby! I think she is right!
Cole saying hello!
Lisa is 37 weeks pregnant, and has gotten the go ahead to deliver at the birth center at any time!!! I've been sleeping with my phone on the highest volume!!!
Baby Berkley!!! She was so good, only fussed when she was hungry! She is so cute!
Charlotte was pretty good today. She is talking up a storm. Last night as we were leaving dinner we were saying goodbye to the dog outside and she very clearly said "Bye Bye Dog"!


Charlotte started to cry when Chris was running around with Joli playing chase, so he scooped her up and she was much happier!





While Berkley rested Charlotte sat with Ashley and had some juice!
She went for a walk with Daddy and blew kisses to the bunny statue!
And tried on Mama's sunglasses!
Joli was very independent today and somewhat cooperated with me when I told her to sit down and smile. Charlotte loves playing with her!
We went into the store so Joli could try on the fairy crowns and wings. She proceeded to get a wand and announced that with her wave of the wand I was married to Chris! Thanks Joli!
Cole really likes to lift of Lisa's shirt and see her belly! He gave kisses to the baby too!
One last picture of Ashley and Berkley happily sleeping!
It was such a fun afternoon!
