I miss chill'n with the girls!
Today has been one of those miss-my-buddies days. I got to catch up with a few friends the other day and it just left me wondering why we all have to grow up?!
I just know if we asked Sarah she would have some brilliant way of creating our own Neverland and then we could all stay poor (but super happy) little families on Copley Road forever.
Then we'd be able to stay in C'ville to enjoy things like:
1. 3 different roads that are all be named the same thing.
2. Living in a cul-de-sac (with it's mud pits, speedy drivers and Master).
3. Learning where to shop: Don't buy your cold cuts at Food Lion, go to Harris Teeter instead...but get your canned goods at Kroger and wait to get your produce at the C'ville market unless there's something in season at Carter Mountain in which case you'd take your kids and pick your own.
4. The milk is just too expensive no matter where you go. Except for maybe Sam's club, right Haley?
5. You can learn more at the park in 30 minutes than reading 2 parent help books a day.
6. Seeing a Lactation specialist (it's the way to go).
7. Sarah Sanchez (she always have the answer to how to get out of a creative rut, or any rut for that matter).
8. Working out together (even once) bonds you for life.
9. Thursday picnics.
10. Turning the most mundane activities into group events!
However, since this would mean never having a pay check, I shall return to reality, buy a book of stamps and continue my search for Megan's twin-- I have no one to make cards with and I'm running out... Man I miss you gals!
I am finding new friends and loving all the new adventures (this is not a pity party). I'm just feeling a bit nostalgic and wanted to tell you all how much I love you and feel like I took a bit of everyone with me. My life has be truly enriched, and I am so incredibly thankful for you all.

Tenn. Aquarium
Mommy look at that! Daddy come see this! Such wonder and awe. We loved the sharks and the underwater cave but the butterfly farm was our favorite...or was it the ray tank...or the chocolate shake at dinner?

Return of the Bitty "Buddy" Baby
Nana bought Lauren this American Girl's Bitty Baby almost 2 years ago. Lauren resurrected "buddy baby" after the move and hasn't put it down in 3 weeks. We dress, undress, diaper and feed this poor baby until even Savannah has had enough. I have to admit I do like the velcro much better than tiny plastic Polly apparel. Buddy baby is Lauren's version of my Malaria-Mary that I carried around at her age. Like mother like daughter!

A Tribute to Nana
Savannah is into EVERY THING!! We'd like to thank Nana again for taking the girls while we moved all our stuff from Virginia to Tennessee. We couldn't have done it with out every single one of you!
Savannah found my mascara...and says "mine mommy".

Happy Father's Day!!
...or maybe not so happy. Savannah did not want to share daddy's lap! We manage to work things out after passing out M&M's, yumm!

Wave Park (kids get in FREE!)
In an effort to even out our farmer's tans (from painting) we dragged the family out to the WAVE POOL! Savannah wasn't too interested in swimming but managed to engage a few life guards with her charming over hand...tossing rocks in the pool is apparently prohibited.
Lauren can hold her breath for 12 seconds under water. She loved riding the waves and fearlessly climbed the 80 steps up to the water slide where we found 12 year olds' crying apprehensively. This is the I-conquered-BOTH-slids picture.

Home Improvement - a Stowell sitcom
We painted the outside trim white, which took several days and multiple paint brushes, rollers and "Big Gulps". Savannah helped of course... Nick ripped out the master bedroom's carpet and replaced it with wood (another 2 day project). And Lauren finally got her purple room!! The color is something out of an old Care Bear flick, it really takes me back. We still have quite a few yard projects so now would be a good time for everyone to come visit.
(And I worked the hardest...did you see the size of that blister? I informed Guinness.)

Mischievous Sprites
These little pixies thought it would be fun to have art time with mommy's make-up...luckily most of it did end up on them and not the upholstery.
