We spent Easter in Savannah with James side of the family. James' parents neighborhood had a wonderful Easter Egg Hunt for the kids! Aidan met the Easter bunny again, and actually liked him a little more this year. I wasn't sure how that reunion would go, but he did great! I spent a girls day with my sister-in-laws getting our hair done, and it was so nice to get away from the kids for a little while! I love my new "mom" cut and know it will be so much easier when the boys come!

Aidan with some of his cousins!

When we got back home, we went to hang out with my family. Uncle Corey was so sweet and made Aidan an Easter Basket! He is the best Uncle ever!!!

Two Peas in a Pod!

I had a couple of these pictures printed for Aidan and Corey. Aidan would not let the picture out of his sight....he even slept with it!

Here is Aidan-sleeping in his new BIG BOY bed! Notice what is in his right hand....

My little monster!

We decided it was time to do some yard work this spring!

March 09

My little man turned two in March! What a bad mom I am not updating the blog with this big event! We had a fun Birthday Parade Party at the house with friends!

The weekend after Aidan's birthday, I packed up and went to Atlanta-all by myself- to see these lovie ladies! This was the first time I had left Aidan to go anywhere. I had a wonderful time with the girls. Here are some shots from Nichole's baby shower.

Lauren brought her new baby twins so I could get some practice! Colton and Cameron are beautiful!

The mommy-to-be! We were pregnant at the same time this year!

After Tristian and the twins get here, we will have 6 kids between all of us!

We were lucky enough to spend more time with Lauren and the twins when they came to North Carolina the following week! I can't believe that in a few short months, this will be a common sight at our house!

February 09

Our Bunco group started a book club last year. In February book club was at our house, and thanks to Meredith, the author of our book came to our meeting! Therese Fowler was wonderful and it was so neat to meet the author of a wonderful book, Souvenir! Read about Therese here... http://theresefowler.com/

In February we got the sad news that our dear friends the Yates were moving back to TX. Marshall, Meredith, and Peyton have been such wonderful friends over the past two years! We hate to see them go, but we plan to have annual (at least) family trips! We are so thankful for their family and know we will be lifelong friends!

Aidan enjoyed a ride with the top down in Grammy's Mustang. That is right, my first car has a new owner. So glad it stayed in the family!! As for me, I am now driving a big, beautiful MINI VAN!

Here are some sweet pictures of my little valentine!

Making our valentines for playgroup friends!

He would look at his valentines everyday for weeks! He thought it was so fun to dump out the bag of cards and look at all of them!

Ironic

How we shared the news with The Brogdon family that baby #2 was on the way....

We called our BIL who was in Savannah with the rest of the Brogdon's celebrating New Years. James and I had Christmas this year with my family in North Carolina, so we were home. We told Brain that we needed him to get everyone in front of the computer, and that we were sending a email. We sent the following pictures through a slideshow. Very ironic now, as we had no idea that we were having twins. We even have a video of their reactions I will find and post. It is so funny that they actually thought we were saying that we were having twins, by the two tests. WE HAD NO CLUE. Why did I only take 2 tests, and not the 3 that were in the box? I have no idea. Why did we take the picture with James holding 2 tests, and not one? No clue. We didn't find out we were having twins for several weeks later. :)

(The following were the captions in the slideshow)

We hope you are having a great New Years! We wish we could be there with you!

Santa brought Aidan and very special, but late, Christmas gift this year. It must have gotten lost on the sleigh.

And baby makes 4!!!

Little did we know that babies would make 5!

I'm Back!!

Wow, I can't believe I went over 7 months without updating the blog! I guess you can say I was a little busy... :) I am going to try to get all caught in the next next week or two....or three....

I really enjoy keeping this blog as it is a great way to journal our "growing" family over time. I love going back to my original posts and reading about what the days were like when Aidan was a baby. Now he is two and a half and has two little brothers! I am very excited to update all of my pictures and introduce our new little boys! :)

Here is a little sneak peak....
