LIFE IS BUSY

I've felt as though I've been neglecting my blog which makes me sad, 

but it's crazy just how CRAZY life is when you're in your last semester of college with a baby! 

I've been wanting to post, but every time I get on the internet, straight to blackboard I go. 

As this semester is going by, I'm getting more and more excited for it to be over. 

As much as I have a love-hate relationship with this beautiful snow (and its nasty aftermath), 

I can't wait for some sunshine on my skin! 

It's been hard just to get out and take walks with how bitter cold it is. 

We have been trying to stay warm, cooped up as much as our bodies will let us, 

but we may be getting a little stir crazy in here! 

Anyways, with all this time inside, I've had time to get my homework done 

and have time for this post! 

It won't be much because I haven't been able to take many fun pictures, but it's something :) 

oh, summer....

I can't wait for you! 

Being inside A LOT calls for learning to stand up on his own 

so he can go wherever he wants to go without me. 

It also calls for funny faces, playing peek-a-boo and cuddles. 

One lovely (in the 50s) day means we can enjoy a walk 

around the fan in RVA!

And then there was more snow. 

^^ I love them ^^ 

Cousin love! 

I think E was getting a little bored with just me and Boo...

a little Raylee is all he needed! 

And maybe me too ;) 

^^ let's not talk about that... Sore subject in our household. ^^ 

How sweet was this to wake up to? I love my guy. <3

And this guy. 

And especially my guys together. 

May be a bit before I post again (not really sure), but it will be better soon! 

Promise! 

LIFE VIA IPHONE GALLERY

The many faces ^ I love them all :) 

What I wake up to. 

Hahahaha. This is awesome, too! 

(Face pressed up against the mesh) 

Teeth! Two of them!! 

Cuddling with daddy's shirt and falling asleep <3 

Mmmm, dinner. 

Playing with cousin Ray @ Pap's

Papa. 

Sh. 

& frozen. 

Have a good week! 

Stay warm. 

PS it's almost CHRISTMAS!! 

WEEKEND OF PERFECTION!

I can't describe to you what a FABULOUS few days my family and I have had :) I'll start by saying, after a lot of applications, waiting, interviews and agonizing... It has totally been worth it! 

My awesome husband got a new job and we are thrilled to be a part of the Luck Companies family!!! 

The past few days have been a celebration, and we enjoyed Charlie on his weekend off 

(especially knowing that next weekend will be his LAST weekend working)! 

Since my mom and stepdad are in Tawain (yes.. I'm totally jealous) visiting my big brother, 

we have been house-sitting and taking advantage of the water. 

We also got to have dinner with two of our absolute favorite people (Mark&Lynn). 

Speaking of which - I am working with Lynn on a new opportunity that I am BEYOND excited about!! That will get its own post soon enough :) 

You could say we are totally thrilled about everything that is going on!! 

Here are a few pictures of our weekend. 

It's been just what we needed. 

Before I go on about the rest of the weekend...

it was just Halloween, and even though we didn't completely dress him up 

(it's not like he can go trick-or-treating and eat candy), 

we did put him in this cute little bear outfit. 

Cutest bear I have ever seen. 

I can't wait for next year - that's when we will really have fun with dressing up! 

Now, to the lake!

We arrive to the lake house for our little getaway... 

WOW. 

It was so beautiful. 

Of course after we got the great news of Charlie's new job, 

we celebrated with fishing! 

(Ps I caught this, for the record!)

Emmet wants to go-go-go soooo bad! 

He does not like to just sit. 

I think as soon as he is mobile, my hands are going to be quite full! 

E and I headed inside while dad fished some more. 

Fixed a yummy green lunch full of seeds! 

Just hanging out ^ doing baby things...

Headed to Whole Foods before dinner with our favorites. 

Got these gorgeous flowers as the SMALLEST token of our appreciation! 

(We love you guys)

Dixie was giving E some kisses :) 

I love watching them together! 

I get more nervous that E is going to hurt her than she will him. 

I'm telling you... He has a ridiculous little grip! & she is just the sweetest!

Hadn't gotten a chance to brag on this precious little baby yet - 

but check out Mark and Lynn's new love!! 

Magic is the best puppy ever. 

I'm sure I will have plenty more pictures of him to come :) 

Sunday we headed to Charlie's parents house for a family day! 

(Getting a little jog in while grandma had E) loving the crisp air!

Poor baby is teething hard! 

I guess ^ this helps him cope. 

It kinda kills me when he does it! 

So cute.

One: I don't know why, but he loves to just be in his diaper and 

two: STRONG BABY!!!

Because a sleeping baby is perfect. (those cheeeeks)

Picking on my lil sis ;) 

I took Ray (my niece) off of "ma-moo's" hands for a little while so she could get some stuff done. 

We had a good 'ol time! 

^ bouncing baby. We have too much fun on the trampoline!

After chasing each other for like an hour...

I thought I wore her out!! 

Nope. 

She is the energizer bunny. 

But she is wearing my tutu. 

I can't even be mad about it!

Overall, it was a fabulous weekend :) 

so happy happy happy!
