Trip to Duck, NC at the Outer Banks

We all took a trip to the Outer Banks for 2 days to visit Kristen, Brad, Jackson, Jessica, Jerry, and Brad's family.

Birthday videos

I made a birthday card and mailed it in to the Sprout Channel (Anthony's favorite cartoon channel) to see if they would show it on tv on Anthony's birthday. They did! Here it is:


Taking Anthony outside to see his big birthday gifts. Of course, all he worried about at first was his Thomas the Train balloon that we tied to the slide.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Anthony!

Today, our Anthony turns 2 years old. I can't believe he's been with us for 2 years already. Anthony is the greatest blessing we could ever have asked for and we love him so much! This is how we spent his birthday today. I love how excited he was when he saw his presents. Thank you all for the cards, thoughts, and gifts for Anthony's birthday!

We were going to wait until after daycare, but he had to open one before he left.

Thank you Gammie & Pappy for the piggy bank!
He loves it!

Thank you Grammy and Pappy for the sand/water table.
He loves drinking the sandy water!

Valentine's Day weekend

I found Anthony sleeping like this the other morning. Made me laugh, so I had to take a picture!

More snow Friday, Feb. 12th

This was a very pretty snow that didn't stay around long.

Roses from my hubby, Matt, for Valentine's Day :-)

Anthony loves to sit in this kitchen cabnet

Loving his banana!

House Repairs

This weekend, my father-in-law, Fred, came down to help us do some work around the house. The major project was putting laminate flooring throughout the downstairs. It turned out great. He did an awesome job!!
Anthony can't say Pappy. He says Pa Pa. So cute!!

He even swept the floor

Our beautiful new floor!!

Meet our nephew, Jackson :-)

Our nephew, Jackson, arrived on January 20, 2010. He's so beautiful! I went to meet him last week and really enjoyed the time. We all will get to see him again at the end of March when we see them at the beach. Here are some pictures from the visit. Enjoy and congrats to the new parents, Kristen and Brad.
