Finally a Pic of Baby Hannah

I know I blogged about her arrival a few posts ago, but finally uploaded a photo of our first visit with this pretty little lady! Cannot wait to see her again and for her to meet her cousin, Ruby!

Annual Pawleys Island Beach Vacation

We had a wonderful trip to Pawleys Island yet again this August. Sadly this year the LeMaire family was not able to travel from Colorado, but instead my mom's brother, Sean his wife Angel and their three kids were able to fill in for the LeMaires. Everett really enjoyed playing with their youngest, Josie, who is almost five. The boys were a bit under the weather the entire week, but powered through their sickness and had fun in the sun. Everett got to jet ski for the first time ever, such a big boy! He was so brave and Rollin kept telling us he liked the pool, not the beach. Thankfully our house has a pool! It was a wonderful week with family and so fun to get to hold and snuggle beautiful baby Brock as well! Here are some photos of our trip.

Rollin's Two Year Stats

Although a few months late, we finally had Rollin's two year appointment with Dr. Barakat this past week. His stats are 32 lbs (90%), 38 inches (97%) and HC 19 1/4 (60%). He is a tall guy, but not as heavy as Everett. Also, Dr. Barakat was very impressed with his talking which has really taken off the past few months. He now repeatedly uses 5 to 6 word sentences to express himself, although he articulation is a bit spotty at times. We are working once a week with a speech pathologist who is helping with his articulation, however, we certainly do not have any difficulty understanding him and if we do, Everett ALWAYS knows what he is saying, it is adorable. We love you Rollin!

Summer 2011 Update

The summer is quickly flying by, even at 8 months pregnant! We have had a great summer so far. We joined a local pool, Overlee, so we spend a considerable amount of time there with the boys and Everett is becoming quite the swimmer (like mommy perhaps?). The heat has been unbearable at times, over 100 almost everyday, so there is little left to do than head to the pool or stay indoors. We had a great 4th of July down in Williamsburg with Aunt Emily, Uncle Matt and baby Brock and Grammy and Pap Pap, above are some pictures from our fun weekend. We have taken the boys to Busch Gardens a few times, which they love and it is always fun to see the big smile on their faces when they are having a good time. This past weekend we made the big move of putting the boys in the same room! They love it so far and have been sleeping like champs! Everett loves his big boy bed and Rollin thinks it is the coolest thing in the world to sleep in the same room as his brother. They are too cute talking to each other and we overhear them in the monitor. Adorable. We made a trip up to NJ last weekend to meet baby Hannah Elizabeth! Aunt Abby and Uncle Steve were so cute with their new bundle of joy and it was so fun to hold her, she is a sweetheart. We then stopped in southern NJ to get dinner with Josh, Charlotte and the kids who recently moved to Haddonfield from Texas, we are so happy they are within driving distance as the boys love their cousins.

We are getting the nursery ready for baby Ruby Alice's arrival on August 31st, only a few weeks left to go. I have felt pretty good this pregnancy am I am ready to finally meet her. She is very active, kicking me all the time, I love feeling her move and will miss being pregnant, but I think a family of five is plenty for us to handle. We are headed to our annual Pawleys Island vacation next week, at 36 weeks pregnant, hopefully I can manage, but the boys are too excited to spend the week at the beach. Wish me luck!
