The Greenbriar

Last weekend Brian and I took our first trip away from Connor and went to the Greenbriar in West Virginia. We had a great time- it is a beautiful resort with wonderful rooms, fantastic food and tons to do. Brian enjoyed golf one morning while I took a cooking class, we spent the afternoon playing tennis and enjoying the beautiful infinity pool -those are so cool - and even enjoyed bowling! The Greenbriar is also home to Project Greek isle -for thirty years housed a secret bunker intended for congress to escape too in the event of a nuclear threat - it is no longer actively used and so we were able to tour it - crazy that for 30 years people vacationed on top of a secret government bunker and never knew it! We had a great time, and survived the first trip away from little man -who enjoyed a weekend of being spoiled at CC and Popa C's

Wild Dunes

We just recently were able to take a family vacation with Brian's family - Nonee, Grandad, Uncle Darren and Aunt Megan (who we are excited to mention are on wedding countdown -only 4 weeks to go!) We stayed at the Wild Dunes resort just outside of Charleston South Carolina. We had wonderful weather and enjoyed spending a few afternoons in the great downtown of Charleston. Connor loved the trip- the first day the waves scared him but by the end of the trip he loved playing with Dad in the waves. Splashing is a newfound talent and makes for great pool fun! We had a great time-thank you Nonee & Grandad!

Happy Mothers Day

I was able to celebrate my first mothers day this past weekend. Saturday I was able to celebrate with my mother, grandmother, dad and all the boys who came in town. We had a wonderful dinner at Regas -despite my doubts of bringing a 5 1/2 month old to Regas he did very well, and it meant so much to try and make my first mothers day special. Brian and Connor also treated me on Sunday to roses and Starbucks in the morning and a trip to Fresh Market for a great dinner - Thank you for my special weekend and Happy Mothers Day to all you well deserved
mothers!

5 Months

We have had a busy few weeks enjoying the onset of Spring. Brian and I were able to have a Kid free day and took a trip to the Keeneland horse races in Lexington -it was a blast but unfortunately in organizing Connor's day at CC's I forgot to pack our camera! We also have helped celebrate my cousin Lauren's graduation from UT, Mamaw Welch's 85th birthday and Uncle Darren's 25th Birthday. Most of all Connor is growing like crazy. We have become more successful with trying new foods and have even come to accept green beans, He is now able to roll both directions and therefore is now able to cross the living room in a matter of seconds. He is laughing out loud, has found his feet -and manages to get them in his mouth somehow, is starting to teeth and is so much fun!

Strollin'

I had to post these ADORABLE photos of Connor with his buds the Mowery triplets - we have been doing weekly walks and as the afternoons get hotter they need their shades!

Ugg Green Beans

We have recently started to venture past rice cereal in the food department. Green beans were are first experiment, as you can see they are not his favorite! We will keep trying though! We also visited Brian today at his Rotary Club -he only has few more meetings as President and we had to come by before he stepped down. Connor was very good, a little too lively to enjoy the speaker but we did enjoy lunch! I also included a cute picture from his Baptism Brunch -Daddy always gets him to laugh out loud.

Congratulations Connor!

This past Sunday Connor was baptized at our church Cedar Springs
Presbyterian. He did great! A little in shock to have water poured on his head -then Pastor Wood lifted him up to show the whole congregation -he was precious!!We were blessed to have so many family members and friends present. It was a beautiful day and we had everyone to our house for brunch following the service. The kids enjoyed an activity table and hot chocolate bar and the adults enjoyed mimosas and a yummy brunch buffet. Thank you to everyone that helped make this day so special!
