Emily has a BIG announcement!! 

We are beyond excited that baby #2 is on the way! We found out 3 weeks ago that we were indeed pregnant, but we finally got to see and hear the heartbeat yesterday!
It was music to our ears at 124 bpm! 

Here is the proud Big Sis-to-be! 

Stay tuned for more updates!

7 Months Old

This sweet and sassy little thing is 7 months old!!!

Check out those eyebrows and finger pointing. That is serious stuff! HA

She is in as much shock as I am about what that sign says!

Oh the things these will be into VERY soon!

She is about to keep us on our toes.

More finger pointing... what can I say! HA

(Maybe a teacher in the making!)

It's About Time

I am on cloud 9 right now!!!!!

This is the future home of Chick-Fil-A.... AHHH.... I can taste it already!

It's being built in front of another favorite store of mine, Hobby Lobby!

I absolutely love their food and really like the fact that we will be able to take Emily to play there too, when she is old enough!

Our town in finally moving up in the world!

6 Months Old

On June 5th Emily turned 6 months old!!

It is SO hard to believe that she is half way to turning 1!!!

Each month that goes by I think it's the best age but it just keeps getting better and better! She is SOO good and has the sweetest personality ever!

Posing with Dr. Harrison!

First Family Vacation!

We are back from Gulf Shores and we had a BLAST!

Emily had her caricature drawn at Lulu's while we waited to be seated.... ADORABLE!!

(I'm having it framed)

This was a much needed vacation. I'm SO glad Mike bought the trip at JA Charity Ball.

We spent a LOT of time on the beach, minus a half day of shopping at the Tanger Outlet Mall!

Emily did great the whole time! She slept most of the way and NEVER once cried.

We are SO lucky to have such an EASY baby! We literally can take her anywhere... I know the second one probably isn't going to be like this, so I am soaking up EVERY single minute of this!

We hit the beach early and took little breaks to go the pool or up to the condo to cool Emily off. We can't wait to go to the beach next year when she is able to walk and play more!

I already have a ton of ideas for the next trip!

I absolutely LOVE coming in from a day at the beach to get ready for dinner! We ate at a couple of delicious places... Mikee's Seafood, Lulu's, Wintzell's Oyster House and The Original Oyster House.

I really wish we could have stayed longer! We made some wonderful memories and we will never forget this vacation!
