Baby Boom

The second generation Baby Brigade baby boom is well under way! We have welcomed six new siblings to our group since November with four more on the way! Three of those babies due to arrive are boys and we’ll know soon enough about number four! We only had a few of the second gen babies at playgroup the other week but figured it was way past time to get them started on the infamous couch pictures!! We haven’t been able to photograph the bigger kids like that in a long time (since they learned how to catapult themselves off furniture) but it was so fun to capture the tinies like we used to do to their brothers and sisters! Hopefully we will get a chance to get all of the little babies together for a group shot and keep up with their photos like we did for the older kids. It is such a fun way to see how they are growing and changing!

It was so great seeing the friends we hadn’t caught up with in a while!

Love these littles!

Build a Bear

My friend Anita is the queen of coming up with fun ways to beat these brutal Atlanta summers. The other week we joined her and Evan at Build a Bear for a morning adventure! The boys picked out their own little bear, stuffed them, gave them baths, and wrote out a birth certificate! We had never been to Build a Bear and it was a fun experience for all of us. C really wanted to pick out an Angry Birds doll instead of a bear, but after some careful negotiating he created an adorable pirate bear that turned out super cute!! He chose the name Captain Hook Bear and loves that he came with a sword! Thanks to A&E for including us in this fun outing (and the coupons!!!!!) and for a yummy lunch after too!

Evan knew right away which bear he wanted! C took a little more time to decide.

Sunday Silence

We must pay the most careful attention, therefore,

to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

– Hebrews 2:1 (NIV)

Ice Cream Party

The other day Krissy and Nicholas had our group over for an ice cream party! It was a rainy, muggy day so we had to stay inside but I’d say the babies didn’t care one way or the other! Miss Krissy made the ice cream herself and it was SO yummy! C asked for chocolate with sprinkles and I had chocolate chip. Yum yum! We also got lots of play time in with our buddies and it was a great morning all around.

What a fun way to beat the summer heat! Thanks Krissy and Nicholas!

Water, Water Everywhere

Look at that cool dude!

Wet kisses from my sweet boy!

We had so much fun at the lake with Hattie and Poppy! It was an exhausting weekend!
