Maine

It occurred to me that I have yet to post pictures from our trip.

We had a great time in Maine and the wedding was beautiful.  Things were a little hectic the day of the wedding so I didn't get any pictures of the BEAUTIFUL bride or the ceremony, but hopefully I can get my hands on some from someone that has them.

Tatum played her little heart out and was a total trooper through the traveling, some days with no naps, and all the constant goings and comings that go along with vacation and family gatherings.  

We can't wait until next year!

Here are the pics from Maine...

Our first family hike up Gorham, it was a challenge, but we made it!

The end of the trail let us out at Sand Beach so we spent the rest of the day playing, relaxing, and lounging on the beach.

Tatum lounging in the creek

She LOVED running and playing in the creek at Sand Beach, it was the perfect size for her!

Full day of playing, getting ready to head home.  This was on Sand Beach.

The Dylans'.

Another day at the beach, this time we had fun at Seal Beach.

Gam-E and Tatum, splashing around in the ocean.  Gam-E made her a seaweed necklace, which she loved.  After that Tatum proceeded to pick up and collect all the seaweed on the beach.

Lucy and Maddie at the salon, getting ready to get their hair done for the BIG DAY!

(The After)

The blushing bride, ready to go!

My little man, resting up for the big party.

The house we rented and where the reception was (there 13 of us staying in the house).  It was BEAUTIFUL, the house and the reception.
We missed staying at the Green House this year but this place was very nice and had plenty of room for everyone.

Our wedding favors...handmade plates.  Very cool!

Druz looking all fancy in his tie.

We took a hike up to Thuya Gardens.
Tatum giving a little wave.

Beautiful flower from the garden.

More of Thuya...

And more flowers...

And even more flowers...

And yet one more...can you tell I like pretty flowers?

Tatum just relaxing while I attempt to snap some pictures.

"Is it time to go yet, Mom?"

Some succulents...I liked the pot.

Heading back down from Thuya, this was the view of Northeast Harbor.

Back to Sand Beach, Tatum couldn't get enough of the beach or the swings there.

My big girls little foot print.

Gam-E taking a stroll with Druz.

Daddy and Tatum taking a dip in the frigid waters.

Most of the crew on the beach, the last day we were all together.  Good times!

 

Tatum's yearly picture in front of the the park sign.  It will be fun to look back at all the pictures and see how much she has grown!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

It's only been 3 short years of marriage...but we've come so far since we were 13 (thats when we met).

I couldn't do it without you and can't wait to see what lies ahead for us in our lifetime together!

I LOVE YOU!

Back at it

Went to the gym today for a spin class.  Man, I miss working out.  It felt so good and I was energized the rest of the day.  Ahhhh, its good to be back!

Hopefully, I can get a routine going and get back in shape FAST!

2 months

I'm sure I will say this every month, but I just can't believe how quickly the time goes by (I feel old and like my parents, every time I say that!)

Druz is cooing a lot and smiles all the time when you talk to him.  He isn't a fan of the pacifier (good and bad) or the bottle (bad!).  He isn't sleeping as well as I had hoped he would at this point but we are working on it.  Tatum slept 8-10 hours a night by now and he is sleeping 5 on a good night, which makes a very exhausted Mama!

He LOVES his baths.

He is starting to focus pretty well and he will turn his head towards you if you talk to him.  He also tries to get his fist in his mouth, all the time...I think we will have a thumb sucker like his Daddy.

Tatum is so sweet with him and it melts my heart to see her talk to him and try to calm him when he cries.

 I'm such a Mom!  I couldn't decide which one to post so I just posted them all!  All the pics were taken at the same time, I just played with the camera settings.

Bummer

Buyers backed out of the contract.  Boo!  Who does that?!?!?! 

Updates Updates

Finally updated after a month!  I posted updates all the back to June 11th, so keep scrolling back until you see them all.

Can't wait to get home to blog about Maine and Ohio...

Good times are being had by all!!!

Happy Baby

This little guy has taken quite a liking to his Daddy.  When Dylan talks to him he just smiles and coo's and smiles some more. 

Happy Birthday Lucy Lu

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday dear Lucy...

Happy Birthday to You!

Under Contract

We had a feeling this would happen.

We got an offer on the house today, one that we will accept.  Yay!  Since we are still out of town it makes this a little crazy but we are so thankful that we received a good offer and most anything can be done over the internet these days.

We close August 3rd, so say a little prayer that everything goes smoothly between now and then!!!

Look out Mom...here we come!!!

Our sleepy little traveler

Tatum and Druz were great on the plane AND the 5 hour drive from Boston to Maine.  My babies are little travelers.

Druz had a blowout and had to wear a diaper and blanket half way through the flight but that was just a minor bump in the road.

I also sat in between two men, neither of which were my husband, and had to nurse the baby twice during the flight.  That was awesome!

We made it to Maine safe and sound and will post lots of gorgeous pics once we get home!

Newborn Pictures

Just a few pictures from Druz newborn session.  I didn't use these for my announcements but they were too cute not to share!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

We are heading over to Mom's for dinner and birthday celebrations, my Uncle Andy is in town right now as well, so Mom gets to spend some time with her brother on her birthday. Ahhhh.

Mom, thanks for doing so much for us and I hope you get to take a little break today, at least until we come over.  ;o)

Grandma and one of her babies

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Dylan!

Tatum made this for her Daddy at Mother's Day Out.

Happy Father's Day to Dad and Ron as well!  Hopefully you were able to relax and enjoy your day!

1 month

Boy how time flies!

Our little baby boy is already 1 month old.  He is such a good baby, very laid back (so far).

I can only imagine the fun he and Tatum will have as he grows up.

Before having kids, I never imagined I would have these feelings.  I love them both with every piece of my heart (except the one reserved for Dylan) and love watching every second as they are molded into little people!

Busy little Saturday

We had a birthday party at 9:30 this morning, a showing at 11, visiting friends at 12, Andrea coming to meet baby Druz at 1, another showing at 2 and then dinner with the Fletcher's at 6.  I don't know how we did it, but we made it through the day and it was fun!

It's always great to see friends and celebrate life with them.  I wish I was better at taking pictures but I wasn't on top of my picture taking game today, guess I had other priorities.  ;o)

 We went to meet Carson this afternoon.  He and Druz are only a few days apart and will hopefully be friends forever, just like their Daddy's.

Swimming after dinner with the whole crew at Mira Vista.  There were about 14 of us hanging out at the pool having dinner.  It was a perfect ending to a beautiful summer night.  I LOVE nights like this!

Busy Busy Busy

Life with two has kept me on my toes. 

I always said I work best under pressure and I think it still holds true. 

Adjusting to life with two kids, dealing with tantrums, trying to get out everyday for the sanity of Tatum and I, selling the house, cleaning the house, showing the house, and all the parties and play dates in between have created quite the busy little life for us. 

This week we had two showings on Monday so the kids and I played at Mom's for the day.  I'm so glad she is close!!!  Mother's Day Out started back this week so I was able to go to the store and get some things with just 1 kid, although I did do some shopping with both kids last week and they were both really good. 

Today we had a fun play date at Liz's neighborhood pool.  Seems like we get together just about every Friday.

The boys...Druz and Brody

Gab, Olivia, Aslynn, Joey, Liz, and Tatum...Alison and I were hiding from the camera.

Just a cute pic of the little guy

Swimming Summer Fun

I have a feeling we will be doing a lot of this this summer.  We played at Alison's today.

Tatum, Aslynn, and Joey had a picnic lunch, played in the pool and the sand box.  They had a lot of fun and always get along really great!

Her First Ribbon!

Dylan took Tatum to her swim lessons again today.  It was the last class of the "semester".  She got a shirt and ribbon.  Dylan sent me this picture and the caption was, "Her first ribbon, I think I'm more proud than her!"  Dylan has been Super Dad lately.  He was so proud of his little girl!
