Back to Reality

So maternity leave is finished and I'm back to work. Kind of nice to be on a regular schedule....but not so nice being away from my cute babies. They seem to be surviving just fine without me though....even if Aaron needs a daily starbucks to maintain his sanity.... :)

We spent the 2nd half of May in Virginia....here are a few picture highlights from that trip. For the whole entire album.... go here

Chloe and Auntie Wendy in fine jumping form....

Love this shot.....

Helping Grampie play Settlers....

Grampie and Mateo having a tete-a-tete

Mateo got to meet Great Gram and Gramp Gillis!!

Mateo got lots of snuggles and chats with Auntie Wendy

(Left picture is at the beginning of the trip May 20th....and right picture is June 1st at the end of the trip....can you tell he grew while we were there?!)

My beautiful brown-eyed girl

And my handsome blue-eyed boy!

Fun playdate in Nana's "cooler" with Madison Brist

Wish I looked this good in a bikini!!

Do you think she's a happy Nana?!

We took a trip into the National Zoo....it was hot and humid....but Chloe finally got to see elephants!!

And we took a day trip down to Charlottesville for nostalgia's sake....got to eat at our favorite spots....wander UVA's grounds....and even stopped to see our C'ville Gramma, Anna!

Virginia humidity + my curly-haired girl = MASSIVE curls.... :)

Mr. Man

My two gorgeous boys....do you think Mateo maybe looks like Daddy?

Christina and Matt came up for the weekend so Mateo and Gillis could meet each other.....Gillis was born on 4/25 so he and Mateo are only 10 days apart!! Was nice to get some cousin bonding in!!

Chloe and Phoenix got to play again!!

Gillis Hamilton and Mateo David....2nd cousins...10 days apart.....Gillis was long and skinny compared to Mateo's rolls!!
