Our new home


Our 1980 Caddy will look so nice in front of the house! Haha Just kidding. I "borrowed" this from another blog.

We made the 4 hour trip yesterday to Aberdeen to see where we would be spending 1.5 years of our lives. It's not too bad. I will post the pictures when I have a few minutes today. Stay tuned!!

Aberdeen Maryland here we come!



I will explain the houses later...Ladson finally got his RFO (that's ready for orders for you non military people) He was pretty much the last one to get it. Everyone else had theirs a week ago. To make a long story short..We didn't know where they were sending us. The school that he is going to is moving here (Ft. Lee) He called Aberdeen today and they confirmed we will be living there for at least a year. As I was sure we were staying here, I have been looking at preschools for Mary Reilly. Darn, I found a great one minutes from here. Oh well.

The houses. I Googled Aberdeen housing and these are the two I saw. Hmmm...Please please make all the houses look like the first one!!

We did it!!



We did it! We did it! Sorry Dora just came on. Anna Grace slept through the night!!! My plan worked. She slept from 10 pm to 6:15 ate some then went back to bed until 9am. I hope this will be the routine from now on. Thank you so much baby girl. I have been sick so the extra sleep is great.

2 months!

Since we have so much hair we have to have a bow!





This is one not feeling good baby! We have had a fever and a nasty runny nose.

Anna Grace turned 2 months yesterday. Wow my baby baby is getting big! She smiles at you and loves to talk to you. We went to the doctors this morning. She now weighs 10.5 pounds! I guess the rice cereal helps. She also slept until 4:30 this morning. That's a big improvement from waking up sometimes 3 times a night. W like have been to falling asleep around 5 pm and waking around 8 pm. So yesterday I made her stay wake. It was hard! Hopefully we will be sleeping through the night shortly.

Labor Day


Ladson and Mary Reilly at the park at Ladson's dad's church.




This will be my new diaper bag/purse!








Mary Reilly loved the wagon Ladson's parents had. She thought she could ride it.

We took a very short trip to Saint Simons Island, GA this weekend. We did visit my parents for a night then woke up early to drive to Georgia. You are probably wondering why I have pictures of clothes...Lots of clothes. Bailey Boys (A children's clothing line) is based on the island. They have a discount part in the way back of their store. I love to go when I visit Ladson's parents. Needless to say I spent some. I have to admit when I match up the girls clothes it's hard. I would see something I liked for Mary Reilly then go over to her size they didn't have it. I finally matched up a thanksgiving outfit and a Christmas outfit. Also, They had this cute pink coat for Anna Grace. The pink smocked coat is for Mary Reilly. My mom bought that. Thanks Mom! Maryland gets cold!
There was also a store in the island who had a blow out sale on Vineyards Vines and Lilly. I bought again. They were 60-75% off!

We had a great weekend! We are glad that we are in driving distance of home.

Got milk?

Ok this might be a little offensive but I could not think of any other picture that worked well. **Even though I wish these boobs were mine..they aren't :( !!**
I was at the doctors today...nothing was wrong just my 6 weeks check up. I have had some problems with breastfeeding. TMI I know. I was talking to my doctor. She said when she had kids they were discouraged to breastfeed. The doctors said it was better and more healthier to bottle feed with formula. What?!? How can something that you make in your body be worse than a processed can formula? I just thought this was very interesting and very disturbing.

New Wheels

Mary Reilly got a new Radio Flyer tricycle! We don't exactly ride but we do scoot! (Please don't look at my mess)

I tried to get a good picture but Mary Reilly just doesn't want to stay still. This was the best I can do.
Mary Reilly 18 month/Anna Grace 7 weeks
