Bright Lights, Big City!

Jeff and I took Sissy for her first trip to New York last week. We had so much fun!! I love that city and was very happy to get to share it with Sissy. I had brought Jeff there a few years back so this was a return trip for him.
We had a jam-packed few days full of fun! We stayed right on Times Square and it was fun to be in the middle of the action. We got many great meals while we were there too! I even got to do something new- Sissy and I had tea at the plaza. What a special treat! It was very cool and I felt so special... until I spilled my tea all over the white linen tablecloth! Oh lord! But one of our highlights of the trip was seeing Jersey Boys on Broadway. It was amazing!!
Thankfully, my Mom and Dad kept Morgan for us so we got to have some big kid fun. I missed my girl like crazy! But I think she had more fun that we did! Thanks RoRo and Packey!

We'll be back Plaza!
Best. Show. Ever. You must see it!
We took the ferry out to the Statue of Liberty and walked up

Then we went to Ellis Island
Amazing
Jeff and I went to a Mets game while Sissy saw another show. The stadium was amazing, but the only served Budwiser beer and Pepsi products! Boo! But the game was exciting- the Mets beat the Phillies!

Great fun!
Bye NYC! We'll be back soon!

Ella Claire Blaylock

Morgan and I were so excited to meet Ella Claire! We spent the morning at the hospital just watching her in the nursery. Morgan LOVES a baby so she would stand on the steps and look through that window. Ella Claire is absolutely precious and is a new addition to our wonderful world of girls!
Me, Morgan, Ella Claire and Stacey
Beautiful!

Happy 4th of July!

This past weekend was another one spent on the road, travelling to get our fun! We headed down to Jackson to be with Jeff's family. Sissy's family has their reunion in Canton every 4th of July so we joined in the fun. As always, it was great to see everyone and it was hot hot hot! We cookout on their family's land. While we are always in the shade, the heat still seems to find us. Morgan resorted to just pouring the water on her to cool down! On our way out of town we stopped by to see sweet baby Brennan- oh and Stephanie and Collin too of course! It was a great weekend!
