We have a new niece/nephew on the way!

We love our niece and nephews! And are SO excited to be welcoming another sweet baby into the family in September. Jack and Lori are expecting their first baby! They have started a blog that I have attached a link to. Exciting news! Lori feels like it's a girl, which would be really fun to add another little girl to the mix :) We will see! 
Between both of our families, we have six kids four years old and under!
New Baby Meece will get to join this cute cousin crew...

From Sand to Snow in a Week

We had some beautiful weather this month and decided to head to the beach for a last minute weekend getaway! It was supposed to be in the 70s all weekend. It ended up being colder than we expected on Saturday, but it was still really pretty and fun to be on the beach all by ourselves. Sunday was gorgeous and totally worth the trip down!
Late night snack when we arrived. They didn't get to bed until 11:00, but no worries- they were still up at 6:30 and excited to be at the beach. 
Foggy view of the dunes from our window. We actually spent Saturday morning touring houses and looking for the perfect beach house for our trip to the Outer Banks this summer. We saw some great houses, and hopefully picked a good one to come back to in July. 

Biggest Adirondack Chair ever! 
Chilly Saturday afternoon on the beach...


No one else in sight...

Sea creature skeleton? I have no idea what this is, but it was pretty cool/creepy looking.



Lots of places at the Outer Banks close for the winter season, but our favorite pizza place was open. This is our fav called the Triple Pepp... Pepperoni, Pepperoncini peppers, and Black Pepper. 
Sunrise Sunday morning
Ready to play!
Absolutely beautiful day and sunshine








Can't wait to go back! 
We got home Sunday night and by Thursday night it was snowing!? We didn't get much, but it was enough to call off school Friday. We got to play in the snow Friday morning a little bit before it melted. Savannah is sporting her "infant" snowsuit haha...it was so small!...but it did the job for a quick play in the snow.

Good workout for Mommy- pulling the sled through the snow on flat ground! 
Throwing "cotton balls"...

New Year Take 2

We didn't officially start our New Year until January 7th when the girls were finally well enough to leave the house for the first time in 12 days!! It was a long, sick Christmas break. Thank goodness it was Christmas though and the girls had lots of exciting things to play with. Even with lots of new things, we completely played out every toy in the house over two weeks. They were ready for some fresh air and some people interaction! We started with a trip to Target, and the next day they were well enough to go back to school. I think they only both made it to preschool at the same time a hand full of days all Fall. It might not have even been 5 days. Between lots of traveling, and everyone taking turns being sick- they didn't make it to school much. We've already missed because of a snow day this year, but hoping for a more regular schedule coming up! 
 Some highlights from our quarantine....lots of time in PJs.



Helping take down Christmas decorations (finally!)

Excited to leave the house for the first time!
More January fun...








Cold day on the playground!
