Santa Fe

Scott had a conference in Santa Fe last month so C and I decided to come too! One of the perks of staying home. :) We stayed in a hotel downtown so we were able to walk everywhere and barely used our rental car. Caroline and I bummed around a lot while he was in his conference but we met him during his breaks and lunch. We had never been to New Mexico and we had a really good time.
In the middle of downtown there was a big grassy park area where there were a bunch of concerts that week. Caroline and I spent a lot of time there. :)

This is C showing her muscles.

There were some really beautiful buildings/churches

One night we had dinner overlooking the park

Yummy!

One day C and I went to the Santa Fe Children's Museum. It wasn't very big but there were a lot of fun things to do and she loved it!

She got to paint her own face!

Bubbles!

Lunch with Daddy after the museum

She slept like a champ...even in a Pack-n-play!

She is practicing her "Ta-Da" with her magic wand

Gardening with Mimi

My mom planted a garden this summer thinking it would be fun for the grandkids and she was right! The first thing Caroline wants to do at Mimi and Papa's is water the garden and pick the tomatoes (or whatever is ready to be picked). After getting mud on her clothes the first few times we (we being me, the one who does the laundry) decided it is a great diaper-only activity. :) This has been so great for Mom and Caroline!

Fun day with Brooke

Last month we had a chance to visit with Shea, Brooke and Brianne. Caroline had so much fun playing with Brooke and wading in the pool. Caroline loved Brooke's princess dress up shoes so much we had to go buy her a set of her own. :)

Big News!

Caroline is going to be a big sister! We couldn't be happier and are so excited to add an addition to our little family! These are pics from my First Trimester Screening...so far everything is looking good! Caroline thinks there are babies in my belly, her belly and Daddy's belly. :) She loves babies and is going to be a great big sister!!

New Jersey

A few weeks we flew across country to New Jersey to spend the week with Scott's family at the beach. Caroline hasn't had a ton of exposure to the water and is a little timid with new things, but after a day or two she loved playing in the waves with her Daddy. :) We were able to see Kate, Bridget and Dillon which was really nice since we hadn't seen them since we moved from NC. Caroline had so much fun playing with the kids and spending time with her Aunties and Grandma. She was so well behaved the whole week and worn out each day! We had a great trip!

Auntie Kate with the kids

Silly! They loved playing "night night" in Sarah's bed.

Fun at the beach

Happy Family

We spent one of our days in Philly visiting with Scott's Grandma and Bill. Caroline loved hanging out with GG and we were happy to see her doing so well!

Love this!

She loved riding on the back of Daddy's bike!

Ready to head home!
