Well Emma Grace had her first baby shower on Sunday, Jan. 27. Spoiled little thing. She got so many nice gifts!!! I have all her gifts piled in the pack n play right now. You should see it! It's full. I'll have to get another before our next shower. ha ha!! The shower was hosted by Tammi & Erin Peters in Fayetteville. The guests were my mom's friends from Fayetteville.
My mom did the neatest thing. When I got married she found a $25 savings bond given to me by my grandfather in 1978. He died in 2001 and I married in 2003. She took the bond to the bank to find out the value, but it didn't expire until 2008, so she decided to keep it. Well a few weeks ago, she cashed it in and it was worth $104.74~ So she purchased a pack n play with the money, and gave the pack n play to me from my grandfather. It made me cry . That was so creative and special!

Picture pain
Well I'm having a hard time putting all the VA pics on the blog. I'll try later when I have more time. Need to figure out how to do a slide show of them all. :)
Visiting with Steph & Tony
Well we made the hike to Quantico, VA last weekend to visit some of our closest friends Steph & Tony. Tony is a marine stationed at Quantico. Tony and Bradley were college friends/roommates/teammates in college. Steph is my best friend from college. Hard to believe she's been a part of my life for 13+ years!!! Geez, I've almost known her half my life!!
Anyway we had a great time. It was cold as Antartica (but I heard it was just as cold at home). We left for VA on Friday afternoon. Met Steph & Tony at a mexican restaraunt for dinner when we got there. Saturday I went with Steph to a baby shower for a friend of hers and then we went to look at the boat Tony wants to buy. It is pretty sweet! That night we ate at Uno's Pizzaria. Sunday we just went in to Fredricksburg to pick up a kitchen set at my aunt Joan's house. This kitchen set was my grandmother's.... it's 75 years old!!! So Emma Grace will have an antique :) Then we went to Steph's parents house in Fburg. Visited with them for a while. Sunday night Steph and I went to see 27 Dresses while the boys watched football. Btw- don't waste your $ on 27 Dresses in the theater. If you love Kathrine Heigel, just wait til it comes out on DVD. You know what I decided- I think she's a better actress on Grey's Anatomy. Not a great movie actress.
Monday we ate some lunch together, before Bradley and I drove home to NC. I really like traveling, but I love coming home! Especially to my baby Zeus. He was so excited to see us! Zeus likes visiting, but he loves to be home too. My mom said he hardly ate at her house and sure enough, we get home, I fill his bowl of food and he SCARFED it down! Poor guy was starving!!! I think he just gets nervous being away. Then he went to his favorite spot ( Bradley's side of the bed) curled up and was asleep by 8. In fact, he's sleeping now! And it's 8 a.m.!! What a baby :)
Here are some pictures of our weekend....
