Happy 2nd Birthday My Sweet Rollin
Tomorrow is Rollin's second birthday and I often find myself wishing I could find a way to stop time and just keep he and Everett the same age they are right now. I love their ages, so full of innocence and wonder, it makes me smile each and every day. When I think back on Rollin's birth and all the apprehension we had with his potential health issues and how far he has come and what a big, loving, sweet natured boy he is, I find myself feeling so proud. I love you my sweet Rollie and look forward to watching you grow up. You are my everything.
Memorial Day Weekend
We just returned from three nights at the Greenbrier, and had the best weekend with the boys. This was our second trip to the Greenbrier, our first being when Everett was three months old. We were excited to actually get to participate in all the fun activities the Greenbrier has for children. We spent lots of time at the pool, the playground, bowling, playing in the toy store and eating our meals at much too fancy restaurants. If you are familiar with the Greenbrier, you know that is a very traditional southern resort- everyone is always dressed to the nines and children are very well behaved. Well, our boys were such good little men (most of the time)- we did have one instance of Everett throwing his first ever temper tantrum during breakfast in the main dining room on our last morning and him peeing all over the foyer floor, otherwise they were perfect little southern gentlemen. They had a great time and we cannot wait to return in a few weeks for Ben's work retreat. These kids do not know how lucky they have it :)
Baby Brock Arrives!
Baby Brock made his appearance inthis world three weeks early! Thankfully, Ben and the boys and I were able to make it to Pittsburgh to see him when he was only 24 hours old. He is an adorable baby and the boys were smitten with him- it was so cute! Rollin even tried to kiss him on the lips! I had to quickly stop him, which I think confused him a bit. Everett tried to share his army men with him, they are hysterical. I can envision the three of these wild boys playing when they get older. I love them all!

Mother's Day
The boys of course made Mother's Day very special. We had the extra special pleasure of having Grammy come up for the weekend, which the boys loved. The boys brought me breakfast in bed-- despite spilling OJ and syrup all over the bed, it was very cute. They are adorable. We went to a nice brunch after church and we got to spend a lot of family time together which is my favorite thing in the world to do. Here are some pictures of my precious little men. I cannot wait to use my spa gift certificate on Thursday afternoon as I prepare for Ben and I's black tie event to benefit the Wounded Warriors Foundation. Should be a fun and fancy event :)
Day Out with Thomas!
A few weekends ago, we took our annual trip to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore for the annual Day Out with Thomas the Train festivities. We met a bunch of friends there this time- the Lawsons, The Hardts, the Farhats and then ran in to a handful of other friends from college and DC randomly. Seems like everyone was there for the fun. The boys had a great time and it was such a nice event. Here are some pictures of my favorite boys!

Easter in Williamsburg
Hello Everyone! We had a wonderful Easter weekend in Williamsburg at Grammy and Pap Pap's house. It was a full house as Jenni and all three girls and Matt, Emily and baby to be Brock also joined in on the fun. We had a wonderful baby shower for Emily at the Williamsburg Lodge and the kids went on a Easter Egg Hunt and colored eggs and we had a nice time at church and lovely brunch afterwards. The boys could not get enough of their cousins, it was wonderful to see them having so much fun together and makes me sad everyone lives so far apart, we will just have to make the most out of our limited time together. Here are some photos of our weekend. Love to all- Mandy
