We meet up with Ashley & Addie this morning at the Virginia Historical Society and had a nice time walking around and looking at the all exhibits. We spent the most time walking through the exhibit on World War II. They had all these amazing black and white photographs with descriptions of what you were looking at. I think one of my favorites was a picture of these 4 nurses in London, inside a bombed out hospital ward trying to salvage anything they could find, it almost looked as if they were going to try and get back to work in a building that was crumbling around the. Of course we don't have any pictures from today b/c taking pictures inside is not allowed. But we had a nice time and I would highly recommend seeing the exhibit before it moves on. I think it is around until 8/1.

CMOR
We meet up with Ashley, Wiley & Addie today at the Children's Museum and had a blast! I decided today while we were there that our family needs to get a membership to CMOR because I have a feeling we will be spending a lot of time there this fall and winter when it gets to cold to play outside. A family membership is only $125...which I think is a steal! I think we will probably wait and get the membership in the fall since the rest of our summer is pretty much already planned!

Relax your at the Rivah!
We headed off Friday afternoon to rivah! Our drive was full of adventures...Campbell crying the entire time & Insley getting a flat (and I mean huge gash) tire! So after a tire change and pizza pick up we arrived at Insley's parents rivah house for the weekend! (Of course I took on pictures!) We had a wonderful time hanging out with friends and eating way to much delicious food that Insley's mom had made. She is a wonderful cook & they are wonderful host to have so many of us in their home.
Unfortunately it was rainy pretty much all day Saturday, so our plans of boat rides, baby pools & sprinklers didn't happen but we had a great time hanging out with...Insley, Justin, Zack, Juliette, Grammie & BopBop (Insley's parents), Brad, Leigh, Olivia, Avery, Dave, Erin, Nathan, Jamie, Charlotte & Emma the dog! I know that is a lot of people!
We had a wonderful time & lots of laughs and hope that we can do it again soon! Thanks again Koehler family for the invite!

Birthday
I had a wonderful 26th birthday! It started with presents in the morning with Brian & Campbell. I got the Nook (Barnes and Noble's Kindle) and I am so excited. I have already downloaded my first book...it is going to be great not having to lug books around. Then Brian headed off to work and Campbell & I got ready to meet Ashley, Addie & Wiley at the library for Mother Goose Story Time (word to the wise..don't be late for story time or they don't let you in). Campbell & I enjoyed Story Time and then meet up with Ashley & headed to the mall for lunch.
We ate lunch at CPK, which was nice, except for the staff was rude b/c we were annoying them with our request for 3 high chairs! It might have been nice if Campbell had wanted to sit in a high chair or eat for that matter! Ashely & I have decided that the next time we go out to lunch we are going kid free! Thanks again Ashley for my birthday lunch!
Then Campbell and I rushed home to get Grover to the vet for his thyroid check & update his shots. After spending another small fortune on the dog (actually it wasn't that bad this time!) we headed home with a tired dog, baby & momma! Too bad Campbell refused to take an afternoon nap until 4!

Brian got home from work and we got ready to go to dinner and drop Campbell of at Noni & Pop's house. I had no idea where we were going for dinner, but I loved where we ended up...The Melting Pot! Yummy! I was also surprised that we had dinner guest as well...Katie, Colin, Insley & Justin. We had a great time and I ate way to much food & Brian drank way to much wine!

Thanks everyone for making this birthday so much fun!

Happy July 4th
Happy 4th of July!!
We have had a wonderful weekend of time by the baby pool, tummy time & some early signs of crawling! Today during pool time someone tipped over and ended up with a face full of water. But she rebounded rather quickly and Daddy had her out of the pool ASAP!
We enjoyed the evening with our good friends and neighbors, the Turner & Koehler families. We had yummy hot dogs & hamburgers for dinner along with some delicious chocolate covered strawberries and marshmallows made my Leigh! We hung out until after dinner and then took little miss home for bed.
