Virginia? That was ages ago!

It's already been over a month since our VA trip but I'll go ahead and post a few pictures so I can check that off my to do list! As always, there are LOTS more pics on Shutterfly for any who are interested (let me know and I'll send you the link). Time certainly flies by. Before I know it I'll be having sleepless infant nights again (unless this little GUY is a much better sleeper than his sister - hope so!) So, for now, I'm trying to enjoy sleep, my toddler, the simplicity of having only one child, and summertime which may possibly have arrived here in Seattle finally. I'll do another post sometime in the near (!?) future to bring the rest of May/June up to date!

Sippy cup a la' United, when your flight attendants really like you! (This was Trevan's... no, just kidding, Toriana was the recipient, of course!)
Sandbox at Nana and Pop's - brilliant idea - a tupperware with sand, on a bench - perfect height, easy to cover and move and store. Made me decide to return the brand new sand table I'd purchased - this works great! Happy Mother's Day!!Fun with Zachery and Nathan
Getting to meet brand new cousin Nora and seeing Makenna again
Helping Pop in his garden! So fun...
Helping Pop make biscuits! At the Virginia Tech Duck Pond! Lots of baby ducks to feed today - good thing Nana saved lots of old bread!
Another highlight, feeding (Great) Grandma 'Mona's fish! (they were well fed during my visit!)
Playing in the sand at Claytor Lake - gone is the girl who didn't like to get sandy, even on her feet!
Working a puzzle with Aunt Michele

We are so excited for you, and you are right, enjoy all those things you mentioned, as things will change :-)
I LOVE the picture of Toriana on the beach with her bucket. It would make a wonderful poster to have on your wall. I liked all the pictures, but that one on Mother's Day has a special meaning. Oh I still can't imagine Toriana with a little brother :-)
Also there are some pictures of our kids and Toriana on our blog, I updated it last night.

Cute pictures!!!! Looks like Toriana had tons of fun in Virginia! The sand box idea is AWESOME! I remember after having my second that I often thought, "What did I do with all my free time when I had just one?"..although I felt plenty busy with one. Congrats again!

Looks like you had a great trip to VA! I love the picture with her & Pop in the garden. Looks like she needs to come help me out planting the garden, I'm a little intimidated with all that goes into getting it started.

Box with sand is awesome for quick clean-up. A friend of mine has it for her 3 kids & it's used every day, but she doesn't have to have sand all over the house.
