DCOM Re-Reunion

Last weekend, we headed up to Chattanooga to meet up with our med school friends for lunch and a play date at the park. We had beautiful weather and such a great time catching up with friends! Between the 7 different couples, we have 20 kids...and two more on the way in just a few short weeks! :)

Owen and Natalie having fun! These two have really missed each other this past year.

 Grace Ann had a great time too! She hung right with the big kids!

Natalie did a great job chasing Walker around!

 Walker enjoyed watching this little dog for a long time. See that family having a picnic? Well Walker busted up right in the middle of it just a minute after this picture was taken! I took my eye off of him for 10 seconds, and he decides to join their picnic!

I can't believe that the next time this group gets together, it will be at graduation!!! Not to mention that we will have expanded our group by 2 kids! :)

Daddy/Daughter Date at Chick-fil-A

While I was Chick-fil-A getting my free coffee yesterday, I noticed they were having a daddy/daughter date night that evening! I texted Justin and told him and he was able to come home from the hospital in time to shower and take Grace Ann on a date! I got Grace Ann all dressed up and even curled her hair! On a side note...I'm loving that she is letting me "play" with her hair these days!! Anyways, Justin rang the doorbell and we let Grace Ann answer it! She was so excited to spend some special time with daddy!!

 Pretty girl ready for her date! :)

 And we are looking at the camera!!

 Justin texted me this picture of her during their date! Notice the candle on the table?!

They both had a wonderful time! Grace Ann will be talking about their date for days!

Making Valentines

The big kids have their Valentine's Day parties at school tomorrow so we made their Valentine's yesterday! Owen really wanted to make his own so we decided on Pop Rocks with a little heart stapled to them that read "You ROCK, Valentine!". Thank you Pintrest for this idea! :) We could have printed off a cute little pre-made card that went with them, but we opted to make them ourselves! Owen picked out each color of construction paper, cut out each heart, picked out the star stickers, and wrote everyone's name on each one! He had a blast and did a great job! 

 Using that left hand. I think it's time to get some left handed scissors...for all three kids! :)

 I wrote the names down and he copied them!

 The finished product!

 Sweet girl working on her Valentine's! She cut out some of the hearts and did a really good job! She also picked out the colors and the star stickers.

 She is in deep thought here trying to decide on what color heart to choose for one of her friends.

 Cutting out the hearts...with her left hand.

Happy Valentine's Day! :)

Man Day and some Girl Time

I had my 34 week OB appointment yesterday and Nonna came over to watch Walker while I was at the doctor. After my appointment Grace Ann and I went to Target to buy to buy the new baby a few things that he or she may need! She was so excited to help me pick out some things!



 We just had to stop at Starbucks and have a little coffee and a snack while we were out! :)

 Drinking her "big girl coffee". 

LOVE her!

She was having the time of her life picking out some things for the baby!

 It's always so much fun to spend some one on one time with the kids.

 Justin went in to the hospital super early yesterday so he could spend some time with Owen and Uncle Chuck. The boys headed to the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham!

 Having a blast!

 Can't believe this little guy will be 6 and starting Kindergarten soon!

The boys had a blast on their man day! After the museum, they stopped by the Bass Pro Shop and let Owen look around and shoot guns for a long time! When they got home Owen told me that "it will take me days to tell you all about our man day!" LOVE him! :)
