We are the Chipmunks

Chris and I were watching the "Alvin and the Chipmunks" movie the other night, and could'nt help joking about our own family resemblance, haha! It's scary how closely our personalities resemble these silly guys. Hands down, Chris is......Alllvvinnn! I'm Simon, and Evan is our adorable Theodore. :-)

Friends & Family

We have been busy bees this week! To start, one of my closest and oldest friends stopped by for a short and sweet Carolina visit. We had a great time catching up, and Evan loved the extra face to smile at! Our time together brought alive the resounding echo in my head, that things are so very different now with a little one in tow. About this time last year us girls had another kind of visit, one with less nursing and napping, and much more shopping haha! This life with new life is certainly a change, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Chris and I were also able to meet up with our Pennsylvania bound family for lunch on Saturday. Needless to say, this new Grandma was overjoyed to see her growing grandbaby!
I am so thankful for this new season of life with my sweet Evan, boy what a difference he makes!

Tummy Time Rewind

This video is a few weeks old now, but I wanted to post on our tummy time champ! At this point he's much better at holding his head up on his own at tt(tummy time) and is even turning it from side to side a bit. Sometimes he lifts his legs at the same time and looks like a flying super man-silly boy!

Potpourri anyone?

If you were to take a snapshot of my mind lately, you'd find there a colorful pot of potpourri. In other words, alot of "this and that." Here's a taste...
Chris and I were so thankful to have my mom and sister up this weekend to watch Evan so that we could have our Imax date in Downtown Raleigh.

On Sunday, we wrapped up the weekend with an great morning at church, grocery shopping, afternoon naps, Digorno and a fun trip to the dog park. Piper was elated to get out of the house and have some special puppy time, and Chris and I were equally as happy to drive home with a tired puppy and napping baby in the backseat.

July is turning out to be a busy month for us. This week we'll have a few visitors- first my bestest friend Jessica will be stopping by for a few days, and then we'll see Chris' family on their way back to Pennsylvania from their beach vacation. Our 3 year anniversary is coming up soon, followed closely by my birthday, then my mom's birthday! And then a wedding, and more visitors oh my!

Between taking care of Evan, working from home, and keeping up with the laundry-not to mention those "life" activies like birthdays and such-time is flying by warp speed. Evan will be 3 months on the 25th, and that's a quarter way to the big 1!

Goodness. Gracious.
