Spring Fever!

The weather is starting to get warmer so we all have spring fever here. When the weather is warm, it just makes me crave pool parties and grilling out! Hopefully it won't be too long now.

Back to the end of last week... on Thursday morning we had an impromtu outing to the mall with Jacque, Elizabeth and Jacob. It was nice to catch up with them!

Jacob was all over the place! He's getting so big!

And a carousel ride for Elizabeth and Noah

Friday was another impromtu playdate. we were looking for something to do and ended up kind of inviting ourselves over to the triplets' house (Maddy Rory and Brendan)! :-) We played outside some and had lunch there, too.

Speaking of getting big... check them out! They just turned 2!!

Friday was also Waylon's last day at Progress Energy. He was sad to say goodbye but also excited about the new opportunity at Quanta Technologies. So Saturday started a long 'staycation' weekend for us.

Saturday was a nice family day. We went to the mall in the morning.

Noah and Kylie on a ride together.
On the way home from the mall, Noah fell asleep but woke up as soon as we got home and wouldn't go back to sleep so that was a struggle. He's still having a hard time relaxing himself - this has been going on since the paci fairly came. He wakes up pretty early these days, too so that's been tiring for us.

So, we decided to take a night off! My parents came down on Sunday morning to stay with the kids overnight while we took a vacation to the big city of Raleigh! :-) We went to North Hills and stayed in the brand new hotel overnight. We left the house at 1, had a late lunch, went to see a movie, had a great 3 1/2 hour dinner with our friends Josh and Anise, had a nightcap a the bar, spent thenight at the hotel and had breakfast the next morning before coming home around 11 on Monday. It was really nice to just be Robin and Waylon and not Mommy and Daddy - at least for 22 hours! :-)

The only picture we took while we were gone - a self portrait in the hotel before dinner. :-)


And here are some shots that my parents got at home while we were gone...

The rest of Monday was beautiful and so was Tuesday so we got outside as much as we could.

A walk in the neighborhood.

Tuesday afternoon at the park...

Kylie is loving the swing!

Noah had fun running around the soccer field - can you see him in the goal there?? :-)

Yesterday, Waylon started his new job and seems to love it so far! He's really excited about all the responsibilities and they are throwing him right in so he's hitting the ground running.

Hope you all are having a good week!
