Our Long Weekend!

It's taken me until today (Thursday) to complete this blog. That should tell you what kind of WEEK I've had. All in all here is our past weekend in review.

Its very rare we have actual plans for our weekend. It's usually a fly by the seat of our pants kind of thing. This weekend on the other hand, was packed full of fun!


We originally had plans to have Molly's six month photo shoot in Chapel Hill, but rescheduled it for Wednesday instead! So that opened us up for a play date with Courtney and Davis, and Sara and William! Courtney had messaged me earlier in the week about getting the babies together for a play date, and we could chat about whatever and munch on some snacks! I was kinda sad we'd be missing out, but once the photo shoot was rescheduled, we made  a surprise visit at the Frye house!

Courtney was thrilled to see us when I rang the door bell. (thank goodness since I hadn't called to let her know of the change of plans) At 6 months, 6.5 months, and 8 months... babies only "play" but so much. But none the less, they had a great time crawling, babbling, and scooting all over the place. We mothers munched on some yummy snacks (these were awesome) Courtney had prepared and watched the babies "play." Molly napped a majority of the time, William (8 months) crawled and played so well with all the toys, and sweet little Davis "talked" and kicked his little feet on his stuffed bear!

Here are some of the photos from our play date!


Molly has started "crawling" backwards and gets stuck under EVERYTHING! Here is William coming to save her.. or play with whatever was under the table!


Courtney saved Molly from the coffee table, William was interested in what Davis had and Davis was wondering who his Mama was holding!


This is where things got interesting.


Davis and William each had a grasp on Molly!


Boy troubles already Molly?!


All smiles!



Afterward, Molly and I picked up Daddy and headed to Target. Molly sat in the shopping cart instead of her usual stroller... she likes this independence!


After shopping and dinner, we came home, and our baby girl was EXHAUSTED!


Sunday we made a 2 hour road trip up to Java, Virginia to Nana & Grumps' farm. Nana and Grumps are Willie's grandparents, and they've met Molly one other time. We've got to get better about taking her up there, but it's sometimes hard to make day trips of over 4 hours of driving with an infant. Molly did really well on the way up-- she took a nice nap!

We had decided to make the trip this weekend because Willie's Great Aunt Peggy and Aunt Cindy were visiting the farm for the weekend. So it was a great time to see even more family. They were very excited to meet Miss Molly.

Aunt Suzi, Uncle Paul, Catherine and Grace, and Joey all arrived shortly after us. We had a delicious spread of ham, potatoes, zucchini, pineapple, deviled eggs, and so much more! Hope to make a trip there again soon.

Here are a few pictures from the Farm!

We finished the weekend off with a delicious dinner at my parents house. We headed home exhausted from our day. Molly hadn't been sleeping well so I had my fingers crossed after a weekend full of busyness she would sleep all night. Not so much. It's a smack in the face when you've been so use to getting a full night sleep with an infant.

On a side note, we had to fill up the prius for the first time, over 500 miles later, and it cost us $35.00! Willie wanted to do a dance in the parking lot!
