Charlotte and Alivia

We attended a friend's wedding recently (contrary to the Bride's belief, we WERE there :D!) and we were able to host two sets of friends at my parents house! It was fun house-sitting, enjoying the huge tv, and just getting good hang out time with people we don't get to see enough.

Charlotte and Alivia honed their hugging skills some, too. Too Cute!!

Big Baby Thugs...Hup Wit It!

Charlotte loves purses, bags, suitcases, briefcases, etc. Her Maw Maw even got her a little baby Vera Bradley for Easter ~ it's too cute. Here she is with a backpack-style diaper bag. It looks like she's all grown up and ready for school!

Also, she loves fleece. Even in the heat of summer, she loves to put on a fleece hoodie that her Nana and Poppy got her this past winter. This time (I don't know if you can really tell), she also wanted to put her sunglasses on. You can tell that the parent's high school is passed down genetically. Our little thug! :)

Owen..not the name, but a funny story

So, early in this pregnancy (before we found out the sex of the baby), I had a dream that we'd waited to find out until I delivered.. In the dream, the doctor says: "It's a boy!!" and we simultaneously said: "It's Owen!!"

Fast forward to when we found out it is a boy..I go upstairs to retrieve the baby boy bedding I purchased on clearance when I was pregnant with Charlotte (on the chance she was a boy and before they sold out and we could never buy this adorable bedding again!) that we can now finally put to use :)

Josh starts dying laughing and we go and look at the name of the bedding (Pottery Barn Kids names each collection a child's name), and this one is called....Owen Toile! hahahahahahaha :)

Announcing...Baby BOY Hall!! (name to follow after we pick it)

In the last picture, just to clarify, that is an ARROW pointing to something else. The second one is a thumbs up picture that says "I'm ok", and the first is the bump at 21 weeks!

We're so excited to be blessed with the experience of having a girl and a boy! If he's half as great as his sister (which I'm sure we'll think he's Equally great), we are in for some great times!! Love you so much, baby boy!

More Park! (and some sweet ones of kisses and dress up! ~ she can walk in my shoes pretty well!)

More Beach! (and a nearby park)

Beach!!
