Fun times with Kate and Matt!

One busy week leads into another around here!

After a fun shower weekend for Andy and Angela, I took a quick work trip to Charlotte on Tuesday and had an awesome Book Club meeting on Thursday at Angela's house. Friday, Ben went out to happy hour with Pat, while Tyler and I had some quality Mommy & T time!

Saturday, we welcomed Kate and Matt for the night! It was so great seeing them! Matt had just returned from deployment and the newly engaged couple had a fun road trip planned. First stop...Atlanta!

First things first...we had to stop at Pho for lunch!

Then it was off to Whirlyball! We met 10 of our friends at the Whirlyball court and had a blast! Tyler loved watching while Ben and I took turns playing (who knew Whirlyball was such a great babysitter...seriously, the kid was glued to the glass for the entire hour)!

After Whirlyball we hosted everyone back at our house for a bbq that turned into a late night poker party! A great time was had by all!

Sunday, we went to the Braves game (Tyler's first) and wrapped things up with Tyler's 16 month photo shoot! I didn't intend on having professional shots done of him until December but when a family friend's daughter asked to put Tyler in her portfolio in exchange for a free photo shoot..we couldn't refuse! Enjoy the pics!!!

Friends and Family in Town!!!

April has been jam packed with lots of fun and visits from family and friends! The weekend April 9th was definitely a busy one.

Friday, my parents came into town to babysit T while Ben and I went out to Sugo to celebrate his birthday! It was an amazing meal and we had a great date night!
Happy Birthday to my WONDERFUL husband! Not to mention, the best father to Tyler that I could ever ask for! It warms my heart in an unimaginable way to see my two boys together!

Saturday, I headed to the airport to pick up Rienna and Bianca and was in MAJOR party planning mode after that!
Steph, Anastasia and I threw a Baby Shower for our friends Andy and Angela who are expecting their baby girl in June. We were so excited to host a "story book themed" shower for them! We got to welcome a lot of college friends in town for a mini reunion!
It was a blast!
After the shower, Andy and Angela hosted everyone at their house for a shrimp boil! Ben stayed home and watched the babies after their bedtime so that Rienna and I were able to stay up late with all of our college buds (Leah, Jannell, Rienna, Donna, Shaun, Andy, Angela, Jray, Anastasia and many others were on hand) reminiscing about old times! I laughed so hard it hurt!!!

Sunday, we went to brunch at Peachtree Diner and said goodbye to everyone! My, what a Busy Busy weekend!!!

Cooper River Bridge Run!!!

And BAM!!! Just like that it's April! Where does the time go? We started our first weekend in April by going to Charleston for the Cooper River Bridge Run. Ben's parents came down for the weekend and we all rented a condo in Folly Beach! It was beautiful weather which made for the perfect run! I didn't think that I could make it 6 miles, but I surprised myself (and Ben too I think) by running the whole way! I can't wait to do it again next year!!!

Saturday night we met Jannell in Folly Beach for a few drinks, and Sunday we did a trip out to Ft. Sumter! We had a great time in Charleston! Enjoy the pics!!!

Monday I visited a couple of clinics in Charleston for work before we headed home. But wouldn't you know it...Tyler started running a fever of 101 as we drove back to ATL. I was really worried because he also had a bad cough, so we went straight to urgent care as soon as we got home. Turned out he had bronchilitis (picked it up from a kid in his class that had RSV) and we were home bound with him for two days.

When is the immune system adjustment to daycare going to kick in??? Your guess is as good as mine. I had to cancel a work trip to St. Louis but it was worth it to make sure my baby was okay!

The good news is that Tyler was back in daycare by Thursday and was officially moved into the Toddler room! He LOVES it! They keep the kids so busy that he's exhausted by 7:30!

He loves his class and his little friends!

Aren't toddlers the cutest things ever (except the temper tantrums)??? I love this age!
