Aloha

Matt and I went to Hawaii for a getaway.  It was beautiful. 

Sunrises

Sunsets

So nice to have some time away in such a gorgeous location.

Many thanks to Bubbie & GG for making it possible by staying behind and caring for our two little ones. 

Posing here in their outfits that came back with us.  I am already regretting giving Wells that Hawaiian shirt...he's of course worn that thing every day since we've been home :(

Caroline & Co

Last week we celebrated Caroline's bf, Worth's 1st birthday with playgroup. 

Such a cute crew (minus C who got bonked on the head pre-picture and is attacking poor Ford in her hysterics).

Our sweet little 13 month old can say several words now:  Mama, Dada, agua (water), hi, and bye-bye.  Bye-bye is strung out in a thick Southern drawl and usually accompanied by her cutest new trick - waving.  In terms of movement, there's no cruising or walking yet.  She'll get to that in her own time I guess.  For now, she's just crawling as fast as she can toward her brother's stuff and smiling and laughing when he gets mad that she's gotten there and taken it.

My Lucky Charms

What a lucky mom :)

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day (thanks Pinterest!)

Nothing better than green milk

Sunshiny Days

Loving the 82 degree weather in CLT!

Also love this sweet little series of W pushing his sister in the swing:

Safety first!  He is so serious about buckling her in...

Swinging cuteness.

Couldn't love her more :)

And then this is dinner made easy:  Chick-Fil-A.  Outside.  On a blanket. 

Swim Lessons!

Wells had his first swim lesson of the season today.  He's doing lessons with his friend James.

In their matching goggles

He was so excited for this - more so than he seems for any other activity we've done thus far.

Post-lesson - worn out!

Back of the Bus

W and C on the bus at Mellow Mushroom for dinner the other night:

W's favorite = pretzel with apples
C's favorite = grilled cheese plus whatever her brother doesn't eat

And a quick unrelated pic of sweet C today :)  The other one was too fast and too busy to have anything to do with the camera...

Ball Girl

W has a sideline fan and helper:

The level with which she loves and idolizes her big brother is intense.  So sweet. (Wish it was reciprocated, but maybe one day... :)
