Thankful

This Thanksgiving we are so thankful for so many things- our beautiful baby boy, our loving families, our home, our dog, our friends, our jobs....Happy Turkey Day, everyone!

Chase gets an aunt!

 This past Friday Chase's Uncle Joey married (now Aunt) Meg. As you may remember, Joey & Meg got engaged last year right after Thanksgiving. They got married November 19. It was fabulous and so much fun. We took a lot of pictures, as did the photographer, Jamie Vitale (jamievitalephotography.com), so here's a small sample.


The newlyweds

 We took pictures beforehand...

 Chase was the "ring-bearer" but he didn't bear any rings. Mostly he just looked cute.

We're very excited for Joey & Meg- that they found each other, that they fell in love, that they're going to spend their lives together, and that a little baby cousin is coming in January!

Play Date!

A couple of weeks ago, Kristin & Amelia returned from Germany for a visit to the DC area. Kristin is a dear friend from college and was one of my bridesmaids. We were so excited to introduce Chase to Amelia, who is only 2 months younger.

They bonded over (a) Duke basketball.

 She's a cutie! Check out those big blue eyes.

 Chase obviously put the moves on and tried to hold her hand.

 Mommies & babies:

We had so much fun with the Weeds but not nearly enough timetogether. We're anxiously awaiting their move back to the States!
