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!

Quinn at 1 month!  She is so sweet!

We are making it...

next week may be another story!  Mom leaves on Monday...tear:(  I or we rather have been spoiled these last three weeks with all the help.  Now we get to see what life is really like with two!!!!  Actually we are doing really great and are SO happy to have little Quinn!  She is such a good baby!  She basically wakes up to eat at night and all but a couple of nights she goes right back down without a peep.  Will LOVES her and is so gentle and sweet with her.  I couldn't have asked for a better response to her!  Here are some pictures from the last couple of weeks.  It is so true that you don't take as many pictures with the second...I have got to be better about it!

Look at those kissable cheeks!

My planter on the porch...I have gotten so many things done around here with my mom.  She is such a good motivator and hates just sitting on the couch!  We have had so much fun, I am going to miss her so much :(
