Minnesota Trip - Part 1

For my 31st Birthday, my Mom flew out to visit Reagan and I for a week. Then, she flew both of us back to Minnesota so Reagan could meet all of her cousins, aunts, and uncles for the first time. It was a fantastic time! Reagan kept very busy while in Minnesota: She met a good college friend of mine, Christine (and her kids), she went to the spa with Grandma and me to do our nails, she saw Grandma's new lake home, she was doted on by all of the ladies in Grandma's quilt group at the quilt show, she met Grandma's cousins (The Tripps), met Rev. Roger and Nancy Johnson, got a hand-carved, rattle from Pastor Phil Holtan, met Harold & Susan Bergquist, and saw Grandpa Keith for lunch where she showed off how well she is taking to solid food! And, more posts and pictures to come...

Happy 3rd Birthday Brody!

Reagan attended her very first birthday party. Happy 3rd Birthday, Brody. He had a baseball theme and his mom, Rebecca, went all out. All of the kids had a good time!

Sporting Lilly with the Ladies at Filippa's Diaper Party!

This morning, we went to Filippa's Diaper Party, a shindig honoring Boy Lewis #2! There, we were able to sport our Lilly Pulitzer dresses together (Mom had just bought me one for my birthday, and Reagan got one at my baby shower). Filippa is due in September with her 2nd son so we showered her with diapers and wipes! We are so excited for the entire Lewis Family. We can't wait to meet him!

TWINS!!!!

Reagan and I had the pleasure of hosting her twin, Brynne, and Mommy, Courtney, at our home this past weekend. Brynne was born only 2 days before Reagan. Brynne turned 5 months on Saturday, and Reagan will turn 5 months tomorrow! Courtney and I were in Junior League in Roanoke together. Her husband, Spencer, and her attended the same church we did, and they are dear friends. They also have an adorable daughter (2 years), Elliott, so Courtney bestowed her wisdom upon this new mommy. We were able to stay up chatting after the girls went down. Courtney is a vet and had a continuing education course in ultrasounds at NC State, and I hung with the girls on Saturday and Sunday. Courtney got to do dinner at the club and swimming with us at night. It was a great weekend, but I am in awe of people that really do have twins! Thanks for coming Courtney and Brynne! We will have to come and see your whole family in Roanoke soon!

Footprints

Grandpa Keith came to visit Reagan, again, and to help Mommy out! He stayed for almost 3 weeks, helping with night feedings, allowing me to get my work done, see other people, and just relax a few moments each day! He cleaned my house and spoiled Reagan. She just lights up when he enters the room. They are absolutely adorable together. My Dad has always been a role model to me: his morals, his attitude and his incredible servant's heart. May my little girl "follow in his footsteps". Thank you Dad for coming again. It was so helpful, and we miss you already!
