The Simple Things In Life

We have some pretty famous sunflower fields in Harford County...people travel from all over the country to visit this time of year. Unfortunately we waited about a week too late...don't get me wrong, everything was beautiful....but they were just a little droopy;) But we all made some great memories this afternoon.

Mommy's Rocking Chair

Mommy's rocking chair from when she was a baby is now safely in Ciara's nursery. She tested it out for a little while last weekend and really liked it. The chair is 35+ years old but it fits her like a glove!

Ciara's Baptism

What a fabulous day (Aug 29th)! Pastor Mike performed the service and our family and friends were all there to help us celebrate. Jack played the role of super proud big brother very well.. Afterwards we had a great party outside at the park...sharing the festivities with Jack's second birthday party. We are so lucky and blessed!

I Love Being Outside!


We tested out the Baby Bjorn this weekend since it was soooo pretty out. Ciara LOVES the carrier and she is truly mesmerized with everything outside. She is so happy being carried around and looking at the trees and birds....Here's hoping for a nice Fall and plenty of long walks with my baby girl!








How he measures up:)


We stopped by the doctor's office today for Jack's 2 year check up. My little guy is growing up (little by little)...and his head is still unusually large for his little body:) He didn't really like the doctor or nurse...but after the screaming he was very polite and said "thank you" and "bye doctor"...the doc was impressed with his logic and verbal abilities...and his screaming and brute strength in fighting EVERYTHING we did.
Drumroll please......
Height - 34.5 in (25 - 50%)
Weight - 26 lbs (10 - 25%)
Head - 49.1 cm (50 - 75%)
* I took this pic at Annie's playground on Sunday...something about it makes me smile.

Jack's Birthday Party!

The day before mommy went back to work we had Jack's Birthday party and Ciara's Baptism...so we are a little delayed in posting pics! We had another beautiful day at the Rockfield Creative Playground and all of Jack's friends played and ate pizza and cupcakes.

Charlotte takes good care of "baby" Jack;)




Little fingers trying to get an early cupcake!










The Airplane cake was actually a pull-apart cupcake cake...pretty cool! Jack's favorite thing right now is PLANES!














One of Jack's favorite toys was his new shopping cart ( Maddie's favorite too!)
