One more.....

Three posts in one afternoon!? I can assure you that this strange turn of events will not become a habit. I have every intention of returning to a 'post every two months' girl again shortly. But there is one more event that has taken place recently that deserves its own space.

JACOB'S 6TH BIRTHDAY!

We can't believe that its been 6yrs since Jacob was born. Our baby boy is growing into such an amazing little man. He is too sweet, too funny, and just a bit too obsessive compulsive ( and we have no idea where he gets those tendencies..haha). Love you Jacob!!






Spring is in the Air

I wanted to share a few more pictures with everyone. We explored another nearby city over the past couple weekends, Wilson NC. Had a great time exploring a park, feeding the ducks, and visiting a hobby shop that housed a huge model train exhibit. Jacob was in his glory over that one. Even the other two seemed to be mesmerized by the 'choo choos'. Here are just a few photos from our days out. And I do realize that there are none of me - but Mama loves to take the pictures!



Easter in the Snow


Pennsylvania had snow for Easter. We have family in Pennsylvania. Do you see where this is going? Our family dug out the heavy coats, thick socks, hats, and gloves (things that rarely see the light of day here) and made our way north to celebrate Easter with family. The trip was quick - only two days of visiting and 24hrs of driving - but it was such a great time! The whole Phillips family hasn't been together since David and Nicole got married 3yrs ago. But there we were - 10 adults and 8 children - sharing a meal, laughing and even taking priceless pictures.


The Phillips grandchildren - Jacob, Chloe, Olivia, Gavin, Owen, Cooper, Austin and Jonah

Chloe and Jacob with Papa - Jonah wouldn't pose


Chloe with her Nanny



And our visit wouldn't be complete without snow! The kids were so excited to see the fluffy white raining down as we drove to Papa and Nanny's house. They were even happier to see the few piles of snow that were waiting for them on the porch. A snowman was to be made, with the help of Daddy. Not too bad for first timers...


We had a great visit and we love you all!
