Happy Thanksgiving

Baby Laura! First of all, I tried dropping Laura's last feeding (10pm) last night and she did great! I put her down at 8 and she slept until 6. I still can't believe it. I hope she keeps it up!
Rebecca! Matt and Rebecca acting like super models at Target. I know I say this every time I blog but Rebecca is becoming so verbal. Yesterday when I left for work I said, "I love you, sweet girl". Normally when I say goodbye she just keeps coloring or watching Dora or whatever she's doing but this time she looked at me and said, "I love you too, Mommy". I usually hate periods after every word in a sentence but melt. my. heart.
Two weekends ago we met everyone in Mt. Airy for Granny Marie's birthday. So fun! I think Rebecca got more of Marie's cake than Marie did. :)
Baby Two watching Handy Manny while Rebecca ate.
We had the best Thanksgiving! My parents flew into Charlotte on Tuesday and drove with us up to Blacksburg on Wednesday. We spent two nights with my mom's side of the family then went to Woodstock for two nights with my dad's side of the family. It was so great to see everyone! Here we are laughing at Williams face swapping app. Hilarious!
Christina, Sands and Baby Jim came up from Mobile. So exciting to finally meet Baby Jim! He is adorable and such a good baby! We really love naming people after other people in my family...

And one random picture of the boys at the bowling alley. Happy Thanksgiving!

Roll Tide

Baby Laura has started sleeping! This is pretty much the best thing that has ever happened to me. For about the last two weeks she'll go to sleep at 8, I'll wake her up to eat one more time at 10 and she'll sleep until 6. It's like she knew I had to go back to work. She has become the most laid back baby. It's great!
Cheese! The weekend before last we went to Midtown Cafe for brunch. Delicious! Ms. Joan kept Rebecca for us and Matt, Laura and I went to Mooresville to visit the Bentons. We grilled out for the Alabama/LSU game and it was so much fun!
Baby Laura was not that impressed.
Roll Tide! This past weekend Matt went to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama/Texas A&M game. They took reality show super star Jarrett Joyce's short bus down. Matt says his new slogan should be the bus is short and the shipments are slow- haha! Alabama lost but everyone had a great time.
I was not super excited about having both girls all by myself for the weekend so Matt surprised me by getting a ticket for Mary Martha to come visit. We had so much fun!
The big event on Saturday was our friend Caroline's birthday party. Rebecca's favorite parts were the cake, ice cream, capri suns and candy.
Rebecca and Elexa posing for a picture- wild!
Me and my girl!
