Nashville, TN for Allie's Bachelorette Party...

NC for a party hosted by my parent's Elon friends.....

Hunter Havens Beasley was born on September 14th!  They were already the most precious family in the world....Hunter is just the cherry on top!!  I can't get enough of him, and Ward just gets more fun by the day.  I love the Beasley family so so so much!

 Ward's first day of school...

My first picture with both boys!  Best moment of my life!

Meet Hunter.....

Ran off the airplane, sprinted through the airport, drove as fast as I could, sanitized my hands, and FINALLY got to meet Hunter for the first time!

I flew into RDU for the first time since I moved and it was great to be back in Raleigh to see some old friends!  Saturday morning coffee with Robyn and Margaret...and their precious little boys!

Had just enough time to grab a quick dinner with Angel, Jan, and Cindy and catch up before flying out.  I HAD to meet Kelsi and Ellie....precious new baby girls! 

I found mom at baggage claim, and we took on Dallas for the weekend!  Mom fell in love with Dallas...just like everyone does....so we went house shopping!  I hope Dad likes the house we picked out for them. 

Sky Ranch

We spent last weekend at Sky Ranch.  Complete with the County Fair, lots of dancing, tons of laughs, and one more wonderful weekend in the books!

Ward Oh Ward

Some things just never get old, and being with my bud, Ward is one of those things!  I cannot get enough of this little man.  He has a heart of gold, loves so well, and is going to be a wonderful big brother in just a few weeks!  There is something about hearing him call me "EE" and hug my neck that I will never get sick of. 

These are a few of my favorite things to do with him: 

I absolutely LOVE putting him down for a nap or to go to bed at night.  He is so loving and this boy loves his sleep, so it's always pleasant!  He often lays in bed after I have left the room and tells people goodnight.  Lately, it's been "Nigh Night Gigi" or "Nigh Night Gaga" or "Nigh Night Duke!" 

I've ventured over to the boys section of TJMaxx and bought him a few little outfits.  I got him some new shorts and a new green polo, and he loved it.  As a matter of fact, after I put on his PJ's, he insisted that I put his shorts and polo back on.  Of course EE let him sleep in that ridiculous outfit!

Bathtime is just adorable.  Sometimes just a quick bath, other times, a hilarious bubble bath!  He has learned to look at the camera and say "cheese" when I take pictures of him! Could he be any cuter?

Cuz

While I've been enjoying Dallas, two of my cousins have taken the leap into the "best four years of their life!"  Hannah and Emma went off to college.  I am so proud of these precious girls and love them so much.  Emma is at Wingate and Hannah is at Eastern Illinois.  Stay tuned, world, these girls are going to change the world!!
