Happy 2 months with our boy!


Our boy is 2 months old!



Two months have flown by and it's safe to say that Henry has stolen our hearts. We are all in love with this fellow! Henry is an easy going, sweet baby who loves to be held and EAT. His latest tricks include cooing and sucking on his hands. His little smile and the way he looks up at us makes our day. Henry recognizes his big sister's voice and moves all around when she is nearby. Sophia is so sweet to her little brother. She reads stories and talks to her brother a lot!

School days...Sophia's first day of preschool

Ready for school!


Do you think she's excited?!

We met our buddies to take a few photos before heading into school. Tommy and the ladies...



During the photo shoot, Sophia tripped on the steps and skinned her knee. Nothing like having a little drama on the first day of school! Em came to Sophia's rescue with her first aid kit and TLC. Sophia was very proud of her band-aid!

Sophia and Sierra heading into the school building together. What sweet girls.

Once we got inside Sophia was more than ready to head to her class. I asked her to wait for me to take a photo but you can tell that she is ready to go! After this shot she was off, leaving Henry and me in the dust...

Look at her go! She's that little pink blur...

Picking my girl up. So sleepy but wanting to stay at school a little longer...

Sophia has been talking about going to school all summer and she was very excited about her first day on Tuesday. She looked so grown up in her pigtails and carrying a back pack! Sophia walked into her classroom all by herself (I could hardly keep up with her while pushing Henry in the stroller) and she started playing, happy as a clam. I thought about her so much after I dropped her off and I couldn't wait to hear about all the fun things she did at school. When I picked her up she shed a few tears because she wanted to stay! We are very proud of our big girl and so happy that she loves school so much! How did she get so big...

Our tiny dancer

Our girl dressed and ready to go!

Time to line up!

Our little girl started dance classes on Wednesday with the same teacher who first taught me and helped me fall in love with dancing. It was a special day and I am so excited for Sophia to have this experience!

Annie, this post is for you!

This picture make me smile! Annie holding Henry for the first time!

Sophia and Henry with Annie and Mrs. Lewis.

Sophia loved having Neil and Mrs. Lewis join her for some Play-doh fun!

My best friend (and most faithful blog follower next to my mother), Annie and her husband Neil made a special trip to our house the Friday before Labor Day to meet Henry and to see our growing girl. It was a short but wonderful visit getting to catch up with one of my favorite girls (Kate, we missed you!). Annie's Mom even got to come over for a little while. Let's get together again soon!

A day at the museum...

Sophia takes her vegetable shopping very seriously.

Waiting in line for the train.

Ready to ride!

Henry was happy just riding in his stroller during our stay at the museum.

Sophia on the train with Daddy!

Putting on a show.

Water fun!

A couple of weeks ago Raph had to go to Richmond to pick up his racing materials for the Marine Corp Mud Run and we all decided to go for the ride. We arrived in town in time for lunch and while eating we thought it would be fun to go to the Children's Museum before we headed home. Sophia had a great time! It was a pretty small place but perfect for our 2 1/2 year old to explore and have fun before hitting the road. Sophia especially enjoyed the water play area, the castle, and the train!
