Visiting Stacey and JP! YAY!

Today we went to visit one of my BFFs, Stacey and her little JP. I wish I had gotten more pictures but, as usual, Sophia was a wild one! we went to the mall, had lunch, wandered into a great toy store...S got stocked up on some new toys, including a tea set. JP and Sophia played so nicely together--so cute! Baby Riley is due a week from today! How exciting! :) 

Sophia playing with JP's train table.

JP--so handsome! He's going to be the best big brother to little Riley!

Happy 38th Birthday to me!

For my birthday Chris took the day off work,which as most of you know NEVER happens. We all went to the beach. My MIL, Marie came and so did my cousin, Heather, her husband, Jeff and their two girls, Lindsay and Natalie! So much fun!
