Hawaiian Thanksgiving!

 Here are a few of my favorite photos from our Thanksgiving trip to the Big Island Hawaii

 I had no idea that lava was very literally ALL over the island.

A few videos

Here are a few videos from the past week! Love our ballet and tap Tuesdays!! And Theodore is the most handsome little guy. He is so sweet and happy ALL of the time. We just love him so much! Happy 5 months Theodore!

D.C. Trip

We just got back from our Summer vacation to Washington D.C. and Philadelphia. We had a great time and I'm sure Theodore was feeling spoiled with all the extra attention since Lucy wasn't around. She had a great time visiting her Mimi and B-paw in Lumberton but we missed her like crazy! Thanks to our friend Ryan for putting us up in his basement for the week. We even got to see Elise who took the bus down from New York. A few highlights of the trip included a private tour of the Capitol building, sitting in on the Eric Holder Contempt vote in the House gallery, being on Capitol hill the morning of the Supreme Court health care ruling, Philly Cheese steaks in Philly, Touring the White House, and even going inside the FBI building for Family day.(click the link below for more photos)

Summer Vacation

Summer Vacation is the best!! We've been having lots of fun playing around the house and in the back yard together all day and waiting for Sam to get home in the evenings. I can't believe one month of summer has already come and gone!

Theodore Rex is 3 months (And other fun things)

Teddy is 3 months old! Can you tell he's growing??

My birthday dinner at Pocket Sandwich Theater with Fu Man Chu

Collecting "Sheels" at the beach in Galveston!

Thanks for a fun beach weekend Mimi and B-paw!

Teddy met his Great Grandma Mary!

Annual German Fest 5k

Getting ready for the run (Lucy needed to stretch to prepare for the stroller ride)

Daddy and Teddy in their matching Jordan jerseys

"I don't like this one!!" Too scared to ride the pony this year

I think we are finally getting the hang of being a family of 4. It helps that both of our kids are adorable and fun. Lucy's sense of humor is great and T-Rex is always happy and smiling (well- as long as he isn't hungry!) I am counting down the days to Summer vacation!
