Babers Jumping Off the Dock

Slumber Party at the Lake

This week we decided to have a toddler slumber party at the lake with the Hinkle girls and Nana.  There is nothing better than waking up to that beautiful view.  The toddlers had a blast having breakfast on the deck and having an early morning walk on the dock with nana.  The moms were a little tired, it's a hard place for toddlers to sleep!

Nashville

In the midst of a crazy whirlwind two month trip to Minnesota, I met Alex and the Youngs in Nashville for Kelly and Joe's wedding.  We had a great weekend and the wedding was gorgeous.  I wish I could have spent more time in Nashville, what a cute city!  But we hit the important spots, namely, Waffle House.  Smothered, covered, and chunked!

4 Years

Last Thursday we celebrated our 4 year anniversary with Sara and Oliver at a lovely dinner in NYC.  I love going through photos of our amazing wedding day and reliving every minute.  It truly was the best day of my life.  I am so lucky to have such a wonderful husband whom I have shared so much with in these past 4 years.  And we are both blessed to have such incredible family and friends who celebrated with us at Duck Lake.  Looking forward to many many more years of married bliss!

Nora Clair

One month ago today Alicia, Matt and Amelia welcomed adorable Nora Clair into the world.  I was so happy to be there the whole week before her arrival, there is nothing more fun than preparing for a new baby.  Alicia was feeling great and was a total trooper as we took the toddlers to the park, went shopping, went out to lunch, and obsessed over garage sales for the last few days of her pregnancy.  Then it was time to go to the hospital.  The delivery went well and Nora was perfect.  Nana and Papa and the whole family were in full baby mode.  It was so fun.  Amelia was so excited to introduce everyone to her new baby.  Adam is a little afraid of her, but says she's "so nice" and "very tiny."  I am thankful that my husband was willing to share us this month so we could be there during this exciting time!

Happy Father's Day

For the past month, Babers and I have been spending time with the Haefners in Minnesota.  With weekly weekend visits from Dada.  We also planned to meet him for a long weekend in NY with the Youngs.  Which also happened to be our anniversary and Father's Day.  We had a wonderful weekend at Shenorock filled with lots of Mimi, Grandad and Uncle Tyler time, some swimming, some digging, and of course the Sunday family dinner.  It was an amazing couple of days!
