Marbles Museum in Raleigh

This past weekend we headed to Raleigh for a little adventure...

We did a little back to school type shopping and found some super cute things, and then we went to Marbles Childrens Museum! It was so much fun. We were a bit crazy to be there on such a hot Saturday, but the place was worth the crowds. Anna and Henry LOVED it. We will have to go back on a weekday soon!

Last night at the beach pictures!

We did the last night at the beach pictures...we were so sad to leave!

Happy 4th!

We were in Florida for the fourth this year! It was so much fun! We had our own little celebration, and we had a great view of fireworks from our balcony! The highlight of the evening was definitely when Anna gave Nana a tattoo...in fact everyone felt so patriotic that they got one!

Florida Fun

We had so much fun in Florida last week. Anna and Henry had so much fun playing with cousins, boogie boarding, and visiting with family. It was such a nice trip! Thanks Nanny and Grandpa! xoxo

Annie Jr.

This past weekend Anna and I went to see a production of Annie Jr. at Duke University. Anna LOVED it! Quite a few older girls from our neighborhood were in the production, and they all did a great job! Anna hopes to be in it next year! I think you have to be 7! :) Now we have a new Annie lover...she loves the music and we also ended up watching the movie from the 80's! I just ordered the Annie remake from 1999...we will see how it measures up!



Check out the gorgeous Duke Chapel...the campus is so beautiful!

Anna's first tooth!

Anna has been so thrilled to have not one,but two loose teeth for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday, she was even more thrilled when one of the loose ones was about horizontal. It kind of grossed me out! Good thing it didn't phase her...she pulled it out herself! So...the tooth fairy visited our house for the first time last night! Lots of excitement around here!


About to lose it!



Ready for the tooth fairy :)
