Sluggin' Monkeys

Wright went from the Kickin' Monkeys to the Sluggin' Monkeys...we started tee ball on Saturday.  He says baseball is his favorite sport and his favorite player is "David Wright who plays for the Mets." I'm guessing that is because Brendan told him that is who we named him after. News to me... :)

Sea Island

We had the best time in Sea Island with the Hamiltons.  It was just one of those trips that was close to perfect.  The weather came through for us despite many threats of thunderstorms, the kids got a long great and the adults got to go out two nights without kids!  We came home rested and wishing we could have stayed longer.  I even teared up when the Hamiltons left.  I hate living so far away from one of my best friends but really treasured getting to spend several days together. 

Here are some things I want to remember:

- Wright and Porter hitting it off and playing so well together, fast friends for sure

- Spencer LOVING the pool but screaming when the sand stuck on him

- Sweet baby Cole going with the flow and never getting upset

- Jack who wanted to be such a big boy and seemed closer to Wright's age than Spencer's ;)

- Getting to relax by the pool several times with a book

- Brendan and Alan playing golf twice at 2 amazing courses, 1 of which is ranked as one of the best in the world

- Fun dinners out with adults sharing hysterical stories

- The Cloister, how beautiful it is and how easy being at a resort made a beach trip with kids

Easter

We had a great Easter this year!  Kim and her family came in town and we all had a blast.  Lots of fun time with the cousins especially tons of one on one play time with Porter (who is 9 months older than Wright).  It was so fun seeing the two of them bond :)  We had brunch at Mimi's house where we hunted baskets and then went to Melanie's to find eggs.

 Easter Egg Hunt!

Girls' Trip to Round Top

For Christmas, my sisters and I gave our mom a girls' trip to Round Top. We went with my mom's best friend and her daughter who I have known my whole life. It was such a great weekend! We stayed at the Round Top Inn, the most adorable Bed and Breakfast. Everything about the trip was great, from the perfect country town, delicous food, relaxed atmosphere, awesome shopping (I bought tons for my house) and great company. We have already booked our trip back in late September for the next antique show.
