Quinny-Boy

• This little man is just awesome. We can have the worst of days at school and seeing him just makes everything disappear. Now I can't speak from experience but rumor has it that Quinn is the BEST SHARER IN THE WORLD! He shared his germs with his teacher Melissa (out of work with stomach bug for 2 days), Aunt Aimee (had to sleep in the bathroom), Grandma AND Pop (totally out of commission for an entire weekend) and Daddy (after returning from Belize he missed his first day back to school due to stomach bug). Way to take down a whole family buddy! How Anna and I escaped, I do not know.
• When Quinn sees food or is hungry he makes this smacking sound with his mouth/lips, it's so cute. He's still nursing and eating a lot of table food. His favorite food is blueberries and yogurt. 
• Quinn free stands all by himself - maybe a few more days and I'm sure his first steps will be taken. He's very sturdy. We try to coax him to come to us but he just laughs and then dives forward hoping that we'll catch him. 
• Quinn had BOTH top teeth come in at the same time last week. They are some big 'ol teeth and it looks like a gap just like Anna. We try to make him laugh a lot so we can see the teeth. 
• Loves to play, well eat, dirt. 
• Through a Facebook group I follow I was able to get Quinn 76 pieces of summer 12 month boy clothes for cheap-o! He is good to go for the summer. 
• Loves to eat dog food

Anna

• We are battling the "My friends do it at school" saga. Every day Greg or I say to her, "Where'd you see that?!" "Who does that?!". It's been everything from, poopy, pee pee talk, stupid, pow pow guns, eating food off her plate by just using her mouth, pity-party "Nobody likes me" and pretends to pout, you name it! It's frustrating, but Anna is really good about listening to Greg and I. We just simply say, "We don't do that in our family. We are happy, use nice hands and nice words. Tell you're friends that you are not allowed to do that or go find someone else to play with." 
• Is really enjoying soccer, except for the waking up early part. 
• When Greg was in Belize for 7 days, I had Anna sleep with me so we could snuggle and I wouldn't be lonely, then when Greg came home and go sick, I moved to the couch and Anna slept with me there, so tonight is the first night in about a week and a half that Greg and I will be in our bed and Anna in hers, we'll just have to see what the middle of the night brings. I'm sure she'll try to get right in the middle. 
• Anna is really beginning to love and read books. She's always been a book girl, but lately she'll just disappear in her room or on the couch with a book and read to herself. She always reads in the car too. I'm really proud we never went the DVD/phone/tablet route for car rides. Books and music do just fine. 
• Her vocabulary is amazing, wish I kept a list of all the things she says 
• Likes to fall asleep with the pillow on top of her head
• This is Anna feeding her baby while "checking her phone" HAAAAAAAA!!!

We missed Daddy so much while he was away, but he had such a great time and it was an experience of a lifetime for him. Here we are doing facetime each night,

Nanny and Nonny Visit NC!

On Wednesday, Nanny and Nonny flew into Wilmington to see us! Hooray! They arrived mid-day so when we got home from school they were waiting for us at the front door. We had lots of hugs and kisses and Nanny had dinner all set up for us (I think I could get used to having dinner ready for me when I get home! ha ha!). We had a super night together and Nanny gave us a bath while Nonny read good night books to us. 

On Thursday, I dropped the kids off at school and then mid-morning Nanny and Nonny went to Anna's school to see where she learns all day. They visited her classroom and then helped out with her egg hunt. Anna found A LOT of Easter eggs. After hunting for eggs, they visited Quinn's room and then took Anna home for a special day together.

After lunch, Nanny and Nonny took Anna to Fuzzy Peach for a treat and then to the park to play! When Mommy and Daddy and Quinn got home from school we all went out to PT's for dinner. Yum! 

On Friday, we took a drive down to Southport for a Spring Festival they were having. We ate lunch at a cute little cafe in town, then walked all around the festival, down to the water and in and out of stores. Anna was in charge of pushing Quinn. 

While walking around the festival, we saw Cinderella and also found a tattoo place where Anna got a pink sparkly Tinkerbell Tattoo. (It's still on!) 

We also found a cool store where we got to hang out in hammocks. Comfy! 

Saturday morning, Anna showed Nanny how she helped feed Quinn yogurt - what a good helper! 

Then it was playtime because Mommy had to get ready for Anna's second birthday celebration that afternoon. 

In the afternoon, Uncle Ralph, Aunt Kelley, Antonia, Joey and Grandma Petite came over for a birthday celebration. Per Anna "And Uncle Ralph went to time-out" 

Sunday morning was Easter! Anna and Quinn hunted for their Easter baskets and eggs all around the house. 

After church we went over to Grandma and Pop's house for Easter dinner and enjoyed family and sunshine. 

Monday we had a girls morning out. Nanny, Anna and Mommy went to the clothes store and bought Anna some new summer clothes with her birthday money. Then we went to Panara and had muffins. After our treat, it was time to go to the dentist. What a big girl getting her teeth cleaned and x-rays taken. 

Look at Anna sitting in the chair all by herself!

After the dentist, we joined the boys and walked around Mayfair then had dinner at Moe's After dinner it was time to take Nanny and Nonny back to the airport so they could fly back to NY. We had such a great six days together! Here is a link to the rest of the pictures Nanny took,
