Busy, Busy Week!

Last week was such a busy week around here, which is the main reason we didn't blog too much! We had a teacher's dinner at church, went to a concert in the park, and headed over to Destin to play. The weekend brought a visit to the park, a birthday get-together with friends, Harrison's first visit to the pool, and a trip to the beach. Add in tons & tons of orders for The Monogrammed Monkey to all this fun, and there has been no time for anything! We're so thankful for every bit of it, but it does mean that sometimes things just don't get done. We're hoping to be good and caught up before all the craziness starts for this week!

We hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Bo's Bday

Bo's birthday was Saturday, and the day was packed full of stuff to do. We woke up, packed up both boys, and met up with Grandpa & Grannie for a yummy lunch (it was Cinco de Mayo, after all). Afterwards, we left the boys with them for the evening, and ran a few errands before getting ready for our Supper Club group. We had a large turnout and shut the party down at almost 11pm, which is an unheard of time for us nowdays! It was so nice to have a night out that we didn't have to worry about the boys! Of course, we had to go home and get lots of sleep because we were seeing Thomas the Train bright & early Sunday morning!

Bands, Barks & Brews

Last weekend, we headed down to The Wharf for the Bands, Barks & Brews event. The Tip Tops were playing, and since Hampton LOVED them at the Shrimp Festival, we knew he'd have a great time. Neither set of Grandparents had seen the Tip Tops before, so we invited them along for the fun. Hampton was already in the groove as we made our way in the stroller. He was hamming it up so much that people were taking his picture in the stroller! Once we got him down, the dancing revved up and he busted a move. It's always so much fun to watch him dance...we love it as much as he does!

Happy Birthday, Bo!

Happy Birthday to the best friend, husband, and father ever! 

We love you!

Friday Photo & Week In Review

Well, it's been one of THOSE weeks, so we're just happy to have made it through! We've also done lots & lots this week. We spent the whole day Tuesday at Grandi & Granddaddy's house, Wednesday night was our last night of teaching for the year, we've met up with monogramming customers, been to the beach, and dined al fresco at a new pizza joint (shown above).

This weekend is going to be crazy-busy, too! Not only is it Bo's birthday tomorrow, but we've got lots & lots going on. Hopefully we'll just have a great time and let all the wildness of this week disappear!

Parking It

 While Hampton was at Grandpa & Grannie's house, we headed out with Harrison to a little tucked away park that Bo had stumbled upon one day at work. It was so nice and shady, with a perfect ramp to launch a canoe or kayak into Wolf Bay. We spent a little time checking it out and snapping photos of Harrison. Bo has already planned a return trip involving Bob, Hampton, and the canoe. We'll definitely make sure to get pictures when that day comes!
