We're on vacation!

Whew, I am EXHAUSTED...the last few weeks have been so insane. Wonderful, but insane nonetheless. To kick things off we celebrated our marriage blessing. It was so meaningful and such a happy time.

Then, two days later we drove back to philly from va to close on our house! Mr. F insisted on carrying me over the threshold. This is some self portrait action as well as Mr. F mowing his lawn for the first time with a REAL mower and Aidan celebrating his backyard with a romp in the nude!



We have spent the last week moving. I have no idea how we collected so much stuff in a one bedroom apartment. I'm vowing to throw-out, streamline, and organize. I can not express my joy at no longer living there.

Oh, and in the middle of moving Mr. F graduated making him Dr. F! It was a wonderful ceremony and I'm so proud of him. He's worked so hard and I know he's going to be a fantastic physician.

Finally, we drove down to OBX yesterday. We're staying in one of those ginormous 8 bedroom houses with about 18 other newly minted doctors. This is also Aidan's first time at the beach and he LOVES everything about it. He keeps screaming "WAWA" a la Braveheart and running into the ocean. Its pretty damn cute.

Happy Mother's Day

I know I'm a day late, but I had to share this adorable video of the Little Man :)

welcome to miami

Per usual things are moving along in 5th gear in our house... we are tackling the seemingly overwhelming challenge of packing for the big move. So far the pictures are bubble wrapped and boxed and the bookshelves are boxed. I've started on the kitchen and we're working on selling our big wooden bed frame (it was a hand-me-down and totally not my style...see below). Mr. F is also finishing up a chapter he wrote for a soon to be published medical book and we're in the final stages of pulling together the last details of our blessing next week. I'm SO excited.

Those last details include the South Beach diet (for Mr. F & I) and nightly applications of self-tanner lotion (you know, the kind in body lotion that gradually takes effect) because I REFUSE to fake n bake. We're also using teeth whitening strips to get picture perfect. We are a hot bed of vanity these days :)

Aidan is also growing up so fast and I cant believe he'll be 18 mos this month. How the heck did that happen?! I've tried to capture him on film, but he just moves so fast! He's also really enjoying our packing endeavors as he's learned how to climb and loves moving box forts. This morning I was pointing to my belly telling Aidan thats where he used to live (the kid is obsessed with bellies). He promptly told me "baba (belly)! poop!" We couldnt stop laughing... maybe we'll be potty training soon!

Additionally, I'm so happy to report I GOT A JOB!!! I can't believe it, but its true:) I start mid-june and am beyond excited to be able see money coming in instead of just going out... there wont be much left after day care and student loans, but it doesnt matter :) I hope everyone is loving this beautiful weather as much as we are!

Finally, here is a picture of the wedding reception from this past weekend. We had a great time... can you tell?! :)

Happy May Day

Its a beautiful day and Mr. F and I are in the south for a wedding for Mr. F's college roommate. We also happen to be baby-less as the Little Man is at camp grandma and grandpa for 2 nights! Dont get me wrong, I miss him like crazy, but taking the opportunity to enjoy breakfast on the campus of Mr. F's alma mater on a beautiful lazy saturday morning is a luxury we arent too accustomed to. Here is a little self portrait action :

Last night was the rehearsal dinner and it was a fun bluegrass themed garden party with a live bluegrass band. SO much fun and I really felt like I was at southern party. This afternoon we're heading off to the ceremony and I'll be rocking a pre-baby dress! More pictures to come! In the mean time, here is a fun video of Aidan breaking it down :)
