Quick Vacation

Last weekend, Dad surprised us with a quick family vacation to Amelia Island Plantation. Upon arrival, we soon learned how fun it is to travel with a toddler. We entered our room on the third floor, walked out onto the patio to see the ocean and pools, and Noah shut the door behind us- locking us all out on the patio! Fortunately we were all together and Dad had his cell phone. The lady at the front desk thought it was hysterical, but she quickly sent someone up to let us back into our room. What a way to start a vacation!

We spent lots of time at the kiddie pool and Mom even enjoyed an hour long relaxing massage! Jude took his first swim and loved it. It was a great weekend and we hope to take a longer vacation soon!

Reunions and Babies

Aunt Sarah and Heidi were in town this weekend for Sarah's 20th high school reunion. Jude and Noah love their visits, especially because they always shower them will lots of love and attention!

We were lucky to shower them this weekend with a baby shower! We are anxiously awaiting the addition of another baby boy in August. Now they'll have a boy of their own to spoil!

6 months!

Can you believe it? Jude is already 6 months old! We went in today for his 6 month check up. He weighed in at 20 pounds 6 ounces and is 28 inches tall (90% for both)! After looking at the measurements and looking at Noah standing there, Dr. Sanchez said that we definitely have some very tall boys on our hands and that will most likely carry on into their adult lives. Jude did great during the appointment and Noah played with his cars the entire time. Jude has a little fluid in his ears (most likely left over from our colds last week). We decided not to start an antibiotic right now and instead we are going back in to have him check them again in a few weeks, just to make sure an infection doesn't develop. He only cried a little bit after his FOUR shots! Noah made sure to tell him "you alright Jude".

Welcome Welcome

My favorite restaurant in Norfolk was a southern fusion place called Cora. It was named after the owner's grandmother. I now have a new reason to love that name. Our good friends Ryan & Anne gave birth to their daughter, Cora Elizabeth, just over 2 hours ago (gotta love the digital age).



Congratulations to the McGraws!! We can't wait to meet her.
