Go Go Go

It has been so long since I blogged that I feel anxiety about this post! I have learned MANY things over the past two weeks and have SO much to tell you all! However, I don't even know where to start and most importantly end...so this blog will be short with lots of pictures. Maybe this will ease me back into the blogging world without much stress. :)

As I observer our living room, I am reminded of just how tired we all are lately! With school starting back, Hughes in daycare, and Kent just getting out of surgery yesterday we are all perched on the sofa taking it easy. Kent is on HIIS sofa and we are sharing the other sofa. (For those of you who don't know, Kent had his knee scoped yesterday. He had a lateral meniscus tear that has been causing him pain and discomfort for a few months...but he is on his way to recovery and we are ready for him to be back 100%! We think he will have his crutches throughout this week and then he should be able to be back normal!) I am very tired and I AM going to take advantage of the weekend and get some rest!...starting as soon as I tell you guys about some of these pictures!

Here is Hughes sitting in the Bumbo! He is getting to be such a big boy!

Hughes was taking a nap last Sunday afternoon.

Like Father...Like Son!

Baby Boys in Tow! We were headed out for dinner one night!

Sweet Kate napping on our bed! Kim and I have been working on a little project...which you will all learn about soon enough! However, we find the boys and Kate like this most nights that we work on the upcoming project!

Can't you just hear the giggle by looking at this picture?

Hughes was hanging out with Kent before he went in for surgery yesterday! I love that gummy grin!

This is how I left Hughes at 6:00 Wednesday morning before going to school! ...and yes...I cried the whole way there!

School has been an adjustment for us all! We get in bed around 12:00 and I wake up at 5:00a.m. Hughes is really doing great at daycare! We love his teachers and his new school! He is actually in the infant room with Jack...which we couldn't be happier about! Warning: my eyes are getting heavy and I am slowly fading! This post is about to come to a close! We will end with a photo of the patient! Hope to hear from you all very soon!

I know I said we would close with a pic of Kent...but I just can't resist taking a photo of Little One when I get the camera out! Sweet Dreams!

Beach Baby

Hughes made his first trip to the beach last week! We all had a great time. The first day it rained and the truth was...we didn't care! We were so glad just to get away and spend some time together. Everyday we ate lunch at the Sunset Grille! If you ever go to Perdido Beach..you MUST go and eat there. The crab claws are huge and yummy...a must for your tummy! The gumbo is amazing! And this trip I tried the fish taco...well, let's just say I ordered it two days in row! Caution: Don't mix ice cream with the taco though...not a good combination! We had the most amazing waitress Thursday and Saturday. You know when you meet people who are just genuine and welcoming. We could have talked with her the whole trip. Kent and I were able to beach it all day Friday...thanks to Gran! She and Hughes stayed in the condo while Kent and I beached it! They came out to meet us at the end of the day! Hughes loved the beach...(we think...the sun was so bright he kept his eyes closed the whole time:)

Insert: Hughes is waking up from his nap and is ready to eat so I must cut this blog short.

Here are a few pictures from Hughes first beach vacation! We look forward to many more sand castles, sun hats, and crab claws! Hughes getting close to the sand!
Kent and Hughes at our daily lunch spot!

Beach pic before dinner!

Mommy and Hughes at Sunset Grille! How precious is that sun baby?

Our last look at the ocean before loading up to leave!

Gran, Britanny, and Hughes stop for a quick shot on the windy beach!

Tears are actually rolling out from under our glasses at this point...we don't want to go! Savor the moment!

This is the only picture we could find that we weren't TOO ashamed to post on the blog! After looking through the swimsuit beach photos we have come to a conclusion....THE DIET MUST BEGIN!

How precious is Hughes! This was one morning on the balcony...he is still in his pj's!

This was taken before Kent and I went on our first dinner alone since Hughes was born. Gran kept him while we were gone. I was teary eyed the whole dinner and finally let the tears come once we got into the car on the way back! I was so overwhelmed for the following reasons: this is my last week at home with Hughes before I start work and he starts daycare...tear, we are so blessed with a healthy baby, Hughes has wonderful grandparents and families that are so willing to help us out in any way, Kent is such a good daddy and husband (even when I am so tired and am a bit fussy)...and so on. We are so blessed and I am reminded of this daily. Hope you all had a great summer for fall is right around the corner! Let football season begin! Hughes will be going to his first Mississippi State tailgate this weekend to celebrate Francie's 3rd birthday! However, we are not going to go to the game. But, we will take lots of pictures!

Okay...I must go and take care of little one! Hope to see you all soon!
