6 years!

Even with our crazy schedules this year, Paul and I were able to sneak away to celebrate our 6th anniversary. We went down to Florida for a long weekend and had a great time. We just did a lot of laying out on the beach, ate a ton of amazing seafood and spent some well needed quality time with one another. It was a time of celebrating the awesome journey we have had over the past 6 years and dreaming of the things to come in the future!

This is literally all we did for 3 days and it was fabulous :)

Trip to Boston

I had a great opportunity to make it out to Boston for a few days! I had been dying to get out there since September to meet my new niece, Livia. It was a great trip but honestly, a little crazy.

The day I flew into Boston, a massive water line broke, contaminating all the drinking water. So a "boil-water" ordinance was issued which just sent a frenzy through the city. Lucky, Amy dashed out and bought lots of bottled water ASAP because even after boiling that water, it did NOT look drinkable. When there are floaties in my water, I don't find it too appetizing!

After the water debacle, Amy and I decided to take the kids to the beach! It sounded like a fun and relaxing time. As we started driving to the coast, it started raining. But we kept driving. By the time we got to the beach, it stopped raining but the beach was wet and it was freezing cold and super windy. Not so relaxing! But, Micah had a great time running around playing in the sand and chasing seguls and Livia did great, so that was really what mattered. After a fun day we loaded up our cold, wet selves and headed back to Boston. That is until our car battery died while driving! Yikes. After sitting at a gas station and making some calls to husbands to see what we should do, we just crossed our fingers and hoped the car would turn back on. It did and we made it home :)

The next day we decided to lay low and just walk around the city. We walked over to Boston Commons to just get outside and enjoy the gorgeous weather. Once we got their, we discovered it was Military Appreciation Week. So they had all these tanks, hummers, helicopters and airplanes parked all over the place for people to see. Micah had a grand old time climbing in and out of each and every piece of equipment, which meant I did too as Amy watched Livia. It was very interesting and so much fun watching Micah have such a blast.

It was a whirlwind of a few days but a great little trip indeed!

Erin

Such a sweet girl! She was so fun to just cuddle with!

Don't be decieved by the sweet picture. It was SO cold and windy and wet. But, a great memory :)

Micah loved buckling himself into every tank or plane or hummer we went into!

Mom and Aunt come to visit Atlanta!

So far, this has been a busy busy year and it shows! We are SO behind blogging. I was looking through our pictures and we didn't event take any pictures until March! We are going to try and catch up in the next couple of days. :)

My Mom, Aunt and new baby cousin Aidan came out to visit us in March. We had a great time! They were our first visitors to the new house. It is so nice to now have an extra bedroom and bath for guests. We have tons of space to spread out! Paul and I defiantly feel spoiled. We love our house! We had a lot of fun showing them around Atlanta.

Giving Aidan a bath. It's hard to believe I have a cousin the same age as one of my nieces!

He was such a good little baby in his sling! We took him all over town.

Ann and Aidan at The World of Coke for the first time.

My Mom really wanted this picture. She thought it was so cute we all had black flats on.

Such a naughty aunt! My Mom giving Aidan his first taste of Coke.

Acting enthusiastic like I haven't been to The World of Coke a thousand times :)
