three years of bliss (minus two months of a horrific move) :)

Happy 3rd Anniversary to my one and only!

I thought these pictures served as a good analogy of how our lives/idea of a good time have changed in three years... haha

Could we be any dorkier?

For our anniversary this year we decided to take a segway tour of Historic Yorktown. Those circus mobiles above are called segways.. We had such a great time! It was an hour tour and Jack was even able to join us! The segways are a lot harder to get use to than you think. They move by you balancing your weight forward, which makes you feel uneasy at first. I couldn't stop laughing because I practiced my segway first, and caught right on...then, Luke got on his, and I almost fell on the ground laughing. It was so funny to see someone, who is good at EVERYTHING, be uncomfortable. He was so tense, and his helmet didn't help matters.. oh dear. We had a tour guide, whose segway I am actually on in this picture. He had to take Jack because, well Jack being attached to either Luke or I would be a disaster. He loved the ride. They go up to 12mph, but ours were fixed to 8mph, and that was plenty fast enough! The Yorktown area is amazing, it's like a mini Williamsburg, filled with SO much history, and my personal favorite- gorgeous homes.

Um..think we'll pass on Jack's helmet..haha

And..we're off..

This is the bridge that crosses to our house, and part of the beach, which is all on historic land,

Lady Liberty at Yorktown...
You know me, horrible at History..horrible at listening about History, so I don't know why she is there, but I did remember her name!! :)

Today was our first morning that felt REALLY normal! We woke up, and instead of rushing out of the house (we usually run errands, do play dates, go to the pool etc. first thing in the morning), we had a nice breakfast, cleaned a little AND went on a run. It was surprisingly nice. I finally got my staircase steps cleaned. Oh my gosh, I was getting used to the dust bunnies and dirty film.  Luke had to fix the staircase ceiling because we (as in he) painted, tore the tape off, and the paint came with. Double UGH! It's been really humid, as you can imagine, and if the tape stays on the walls longer than an hour it peels everything with it. Big mess, so we bypassed cleaning the stairs until that job was done. 

Jack has been teething the last few weeks...kill me. It's a nightmare, lets just be honest. He is getting his last molar, and now I see two more incisors popping through the top. He's miserable, and nothing has been making him happy..except popsicles. As all moms know, if it's not one thing...it's another. Hoping for some relief for him soon. Today, he was so warn out..I turned around to wipe the countertops and found this -

I had to do a double take because I was A. seeing things or B. he's sick. I mean,  when else has he stopped screaming his head off long enough to fall asleep..none the less while eating? HA!! Now, to keep him asleep...fingers crossed he takes a long one..he needs it..and I need a break!

"Helping" me do the laundry! Though, I have to say, he is getting good at handing me one thing at a time, and then follows with "tan you" (thank you). haha!

Working on independent play for a little while in the morning.
...whatever floats his fancy.

This was at 5pm, we went to the beach later at night just for Jack to play...and it was still hot enough to make his cheeks that red. Welcome to Virginia!

this picture reminds me that my sweet baby is in there.....somewhere! :)
