Getting Fancy

Clara is showing off her finger nail polish. When dressing she decided she needed an outfit that was worthy of the polish.


Jack wanted some bling too.

Nothing says fancy like Cinderella heeled shoes.

Day Trip to the Beach

Three weekends ago (as evident by the glowing dates in the corners of the pictures) we took a day trip to Wrightsville beach with Su-su and Gramby. We were a little worried about the long drive there and back for a day trip, but it was well worth the fun the kids had. The sand bar was forming just as we arrived and continued to provide entertainment via a tidal pool throughout the afternoon. Definitely a success!

Memorial Day Weekend

Nay-nay and Pop-pop came down for a Memorial day visit, and we enjoyed lots of outside playtime.

Jack has been trying to master the big swings lately, and Clara is always ready to give him a push.


Naked lemonade drinking on the deck.


Pool time fun.

Then on Thursday of the following week, we celebrated my birthday! at the Mellow Mushroom. Here's a shot of Jack enjoying his chocolate milk in style.

New Beds

Memorial day weekend brought even more excitement than Nay-nay and Pop-pop's visit (if you can imagine). New bunk beds for Clara and Jack arrived and were set-up.


Excited to be sleeping on the top bunk.


She was a little nervous to be up there with no one below, so she begged for Jack to be allowed to move already. It has been a little rough to say the least. He doesn't seem to mind getting up for a little midnight trike-riding. The other night I guess he found the floor more appealing? :)

Saturday in the Park

This past Saturday we went downtown to the 2nd annual Cornhole festival! We enjoyed some delicious eats from the gourmet food trucks and taking in the sights.

"Watch this" the caption says it all.


Trying to make a giant bubble!
