He is getting sooo big...he was proud of himself catching the football.

Mom is back for the week!  Yea!  We are having fun.  My Aunt Cari, cousin Beth and her little girl Claire are coming up on Wednesday...then Uncle Berry and Aunt Ann are coming to meet Quinn this weekend - we are loving all of the visitors!  Here are some random pics...

More family!

Will ready to go fishing...Michael said, "I see you put him in his "rugged wear" to fish."  haha!
This picture cracks me up!

Love this one...
...and this one.


This past week Dee, Abby and Beau came for a visit.  We had the best time hanging out and watching the kids play.  They all love each other and play so well together - we wish they were closer!  They went fishing, swimming, played outside, it was great!  Abby and Beau loved seeing Quinn - funny story, Beau had been sick so Dee Dee had been telling him he couldn't touch Quinn.  So we went out to dinner one night for my birthday and I was putting Quinn in the car to leave and Beau climbs up to look at her in her car seat.  I can't remember now if it was me or Dee Dee that said..."Beau be..." before we could finish he says, "I am JUST going to look, I am NOT going to touch!"  He was like give me a break people I have only been told 100 times - I get it!  It was really funny and cute.  We love you guys and miss you already!  

Yard project...

Before...
After, but still a long way to go!


We have been in the process of fencing in our yard and it has turned into a bigger project than we expected...I wanted a fence for Will so he could play in the yard and I wouldn't have to worry about him running in the street.  Most of our yard is on the side of the house where the patio is...so we are close to being finished!  They made the brick base for the fence and are waiting on the iron to be put up...  They finished the fireplace last week and we are really excited with how it turned out!  Hopefully it will be sodded and everything finished by the end of the month!

Visit from the Dhruv's


Michael's Aunt Tina, Uncle Mehul, Mehul's parents from India, Aunt Ramona, cousins Mikail, Nicole and Wesley came to see us and meet little Quinn.  They live in Boston, Ramona and Wesley are in Knoxville, and came down south for a visit with family in Nashville.  They were so sweet to make a special trip here to see us!  We had a great time catching up.  Will had fun showing off and to this day is still asking, "Where did Uncle Mehul go?"  If I have said, "Back to Boston," once I have said it 100 times!!!  Thank you guys so much for the visit!  We love you and hope to see you all again soon!

Catching up...


We have been pretty busy since my last post...life with two is pretty crazy, but also pretty great! 
This was a VERY sad day...after being with us nearly 4 weeks she finally had to leave :(  I cannot even begin to thank my mom enough for all of the help!  It really made the transition to two kids a lot easier!!!  Thank you soooooo much mom (and dad for letting us have her!)!  I love you both so much!  We all cried, but Will was the most pitiful - he just bawled!  It was upsetting!  
Poor little guy...I had no idea he would be so upset!
Will and Daddy playing with his marble race...they love this thing!
Michael had a nice long weekend off so we took Will to the zoo one day and had so much fun!  Quinn was a trooper as well!  The weather was perfect!
Checking out the elephants...could my hair be any stringier (sp?) - seriously!
Checking out the giraffes...
Will and mommy...
