Quick catch-up and a new 'do!

First off, in case you haven't noticed, we've got a new look here on the blog thanks to Katie at The Polka Dot Pig! We really like it - hope you do, too!

I have got soooooo much to catch up on - we had a WONDERFUL weekend in the upstate at Fall for Greenville and visiting, but I have GOT to post the pictures from last weekend/week today or i'll never get around to it. I promise to get to this past weekend tomorrow!

LAST weekend, we flew up to D.C. for Cameron and Mark's wedding in Fredericksburg, Virginia.

It was Mills' first airplane flight!

Ready to take off!!!

hehe, look at that precious little babe looking like a big boy sitting in between his mom and dad!

He did a great job! I just nursed him during the takeoff so the altitude change wouldn't hurt his little ears (which I thought I would be embarrassed about, but thankfully it was just the two seats per side and I had the window seat, so it was totally private...no one even had a clue. whew!), and he slept pretty much the whole flight both there and back. We randomly booked flights that were right during his usual nap times - note to self: GOOD idea!

Michael and Kevin picked us up at the airport, and we headed to Fredericksburg. We got lunch at a little pub downtown.

Mills listening to Aunt Jesser tell a story to the waiter...pretty entertaining I'm sure! :)

Jennifer, Kevin, and Michael

{by the way I somehow managed not to get a single picture of Nicholas and I all weekend...welcome to motherhood, huh? haha!}

On Saturday we watched the Miami/Clemson game...let's just say it wasn't pretty for us Clemson fans. Clemson played horribly and it was just an ugly game for both teams (Nicholas said so, so I'm allowed to say that)!

It's a good thing I was more focused on this cute face than the game.

Mills cheering...

"Oh come on Tigers, another interception?!?!?"

{i felt the same way, buddy!}

Luckily nap time was during the second half so Mills and I didn't have to watch the end, whew!

Who was cousin Gray cheering for???

His daddy would say the TIGERS...but his momma would say otherwise. ;)

Back at the hotel we had fun with more cousins!

This is Clara, Nicholas' first cousin, Blair's little girl - aka Mills' third cousin I think!

She was so sweet playing with Mills - maybe because she has a new little brother just two months younger than Mills!

You should have seen just how challenging it was to get these four kiddos all together to get a picture with their great-grandmother!

Out of about twenty shots, I have TWO with all four kids in it, evidenced here:

and here:

And with all of the boys...

Mills cracks me up in the one above, haha. Can you believe they're all so close in age? Mills in January, Gray in February, and Miles (middle) in March!

Miles may be the youngest, but he has definitely got the other two guys beat in size! :)

Mills and Gray got to spend lots of time together over the weekend! They even shared babysitters both nights (especially after Mills' first one didn't feed him Friday night, haha, whole other story...)

Hey Gray!

sweet boys

Desitin...yummm!

Mills' nose started getting a little stuffy on Saturday, and really has been that way since (the pediatrician said his ears looked great so nothing really to be concerned about), so even though he has a bit of a snotty nose in this pic (and a fussy face), it ended up being my favorite one. :)

I mean, would you look at those two sweet teeth??? Don't you just want to pick him up and love on him?!? :)

AND, Mills is 40 weeks old today! I don't keep track of every single week, but I had written in on my planner a while back. He has officially been out and about now as long as he was in my belly - crazy to think about, huh?!?  Time goes by so fast! Love that sweet boy!

See y'all tomorrow! :)
