Fun in Auburn

Our trip to Auburn MLK weekend... pictures in no certain order.


Doesn't he have the cutest expressions??


3 babies in a basket. What will we do when there are 5?


Joseph built a great fire. Obviously Ford is enjoying it.


Nothing to do with the trip- just a cute picture of them sharing the chair together. Parker wanted Maryn to sit with him.


Parker packing to go to Auburn. Notice there are no tracks on his train table. They are ALL in his suitcase. I asked him to pack some toys. Won't be doing that again until he's a little older!

We went to Auburn this weekend to spend some time with Joseph, Sarah and Ford. They moved into their new house a few weeks before Christmas and we had not yet seen it. Wow!! It is beautiful. What I refer to as a grown-up house! We are so excited for them!! There is lots of room for Ford to play, tons of cabinet space in the kitchen that isn't even being used yet, gorgeous hardwood floors that Sarah has to swiffer all the time, a gigantic pantry that the kids loved playing in, a fantastic master bath that rivals the best hotels... I could go on and on.

We didn't arrive until 11:30 Charlotte time Friday night. Parker did not sleep the entire way- although he was really good. I blame it on the car seat. Maryn has the Britax Roundabout that we bought when Parker was little and she slept like a baby. When she moved to that car seat we bought Parker an Eddie Bauer car seat. Not a fan. It's not very padded and sits really straight. So do I cough up $270 for the Britax Marathon for Parker? Any suggestions? One other plus about the Britax is that they have removable covers that wash well. Hmmm... we'll have to see. It's a lot of money.

So we got there safely although very tired. Saturday the kids didn't even make it out of their pjs. We did bathe them and put them in clean ones for bed. Sarah's parents and sister and husband stopped by Saturday morning. Parker loves them so much! Clayton threw snowballs (yes, it snowed in Auburn!) at the window while Parker watched. He had a blast! And Maryn and Ford were so cute together. Maryn was actually pretty good about not taking Ford's toys. Probably too much to do.

Sarah made a delicious breakfast casserole and garlic cheese grits Saturday morning. YUM! I told her that if I had had the casserole every morning during my first trimester I would have felt MUCH better. I swear protein first thing in the am makes a world of difference. There was lots of other yummy food- Amsterdams turkey wraps, Momma G's, a chocolate chip pound cake... I'll let you know after my dr. apt. Thursday just how much weight I gained!

Sunday afternoon while the boys watched football and the kids (in what order I'm not exactly sure!) Sarah and I went to see 27 Dresses. So cute!

All around a great trip- made even better by the mini van. The room, the dvd player, the style (ok, maybe not stylish), the comfort... one of our best purchases ever!!

WAR EAGLE!!!
