bye bye nanny

Trip watching Anna ("Nanny") drive away.

It is always very sad these days when anyone leaves. Trip yells "Bye Bye!" and whines like he will never see the person again. Of course, he even does this when someone is simply going outside to get the mail and coming right back in. His mind doesn't quite grasp the concept of time, or the phrase, "I'll be right back," so this leaves a very sad little toddler.

Birthday/Reunion Weekend

A few weekends ago we traveled North to Austin to visit my best friends, Johanna and Mackenzie, and to celebrate Jo's baby girl's first birthday! It was so much fun to see Jo and Kenze, but we were sad to be missing our fourth college roommate, Kelli.

J with Johanna's husband (and good friend of J) George - drinking Bloody Mary's at the party.

Me and the birthday girl! I think she is possibly the funniest little girl in the world. She makes the cutest most excited little noises and has such an adorable walk. I was glad for the few days, but sad not to see her more often :(

Trip and Ainsley enjoying the pool in the backyard.

... And their overbearing mothers trying to assist in the pool time fun. I'm sure they were thinking, just leave us be, we know what we're doing here!

Me and my boy.

Bath time complete with matching Mohawks!

It was a wonderful weekend, full of fun kiddo activities. But my favorite part was after the babies went to sleep and getting to have some good ole' fashion adult conversation with two of my best friends. Thank you Peytons for the wonderful weekend!

Celebrity

Trip made it in the newspaper in Moberly, Missouri! His "Cappy" is a dentist there, and had the local paper put together this ad for his practice. Of course, even though my mom specified how to spell Trip's name and told them that he is 16 months old, they made a few errors. This is probably something Trip will have to get used to. I told him it is all part of the price of fame!

The BIG 30!

That's right - J is officially an old man! We celebrated his 30th birthday with his family in San Antonio this weekend. He was showered with great gifts and lots of love this year, and I must say I think he deserved it! Happy Birthday J!
