Back in Alabama

We had a blast in NYC but it was great to get home. It was a LONG time to be away from Owen (6 days). I think I was pretty much running to his room when we pulled into the driveway Wednesday night. Kevin worked during the days and I spent my time just enjoying the city. I was able to go to Live with Regis and Kelly one day (thanks Shelley!) and got to see Katherine Heigl and Jordin Sparks. Kevin and I both went to a David Letterman taping and saw Kevin Spacey, Jesse James, and the Flatlanders. I also spent a lot of time shopping! We also ate at some really cool restaurants (including Tao from SATC, Valbella (Regis' favorite Italian), and Buddakan (Big and Carrie's rehearsal dinner was held here in the SATC movie). It was a great trip and I still think NYC is one of my favorite cities- but it is always great to get back home too!

I did not take my good camera because I didn't want to have to haul it around everywhere (sad, I know). My Canon Elph still got some good shots- just not what the big one could have done.

NY State of Mind

Kevin and I are headed to NYC tomorrow morning with The Shirt Shop. I am not as excited as I usually am about going. (I can't imagine why?) Usually, I have made reservations, booked plays, etc. by now but so far we have dinner plans one night. I know once I get there I will have a blast-it is just the leaving part that will be hard. New York is one of my favorite places to visit and special to us since Kevin and I got engaged there. I am going to meet up with some old friends too, so it should be a fun trip. Gigi has come to keep Owen and I know they will do great! The stroller will probably gets lots of use this week!

On another note...look at Owen's new trick!

Praise Baby

Owen loves watching his Praise Baby DVD. (I can't imagine where he got his love for tv from!) I got a quick video this morning of him watching it while I made up my bed. Enjoy!

4th of July

We had a great time at the beach with my family last week. I took a lot of pictures but here are a few of my favorites...

Tucker and Ashley were really excited about the 4th!

Owen is really not enjoying this too much- maybe because it was cold water and I made him wear sunglasses.

My Mom and Dad took turns strolling Owen everywhere last week. Our condo has covered parking so they stayed in the shade most of the time. I would be very interested to know how many miles were put on that stroller!

Owen got to finally meet Amy!

Pap-paw gave Owen his very first baseball!

3 Month Pictures

A friend of mine took Owen's 3 month pictures for us a couple of weeks ago. Here are a few of my favorites...

Last Minute Trip

Owen and I made a last minute trip to Daphne this past week. We were able to visit with Mam-Maw and Pap-paw as well as Pops and Gigi. I even got to sneak away to the beach for one night while Owen stayed with Pops and Gigi! It was a good practice since I will be away from him for almost a week at the end of July when Kevin and I go to NYC. Here a few pictures from our trip...


Mam-maw and Owen

All of the traveling wore Owen out!

Owen thought Pops was really funny!

We are heading down there again next week for the 4th. Pops is coming to pick Owen and I up and take us Monday (I don't want to make that drive alone again for awhile!) Luckily, my Dad has business up this way so it isn't too bad of an inconvenience for us to ride down with him. Kevin will come later in the week when he gets off work. We are so excited to be able to spend some time at the beach! Hope everybody has a fun and safe 4th of July!

Lazy Summer Days

I LOVE the summer and am so sad that it is so short now. Whatever happened to 3 months off school? 8 weeks is going to fly by. Owen and I are having a great time being home together. It is so nice not having anywhere that I HAVE to be for awhile. We haven't really done anything exciting so here are a few random pictures to share...


It is never too early to start thinking about football season!



This is the best I could do to get a picture of Buffett and Owen together. Buffett is TERRIFIED of Owen and will not go near him. This is a good thing I am sure. He stayed this close to Owen long enough for me to snap the picture then took off.


My three boys!


Have a wonderful Father's Day weekend!!!
