More Fun with the Ingrams

Merritt spent some time with the Ingrams this weekend and once again, her wonderful cousins Kayla and Abby kept her busy and smiling.



While we had some Mer-free time, we co-hosted a wedding shower for our friends Ben and Molly. Here we are hanging out by the fire until 4:30 a.m. Granted, it was after "spring forward," but we were still proud!

BFFs III

Merritt loves Jessie more and more every day. Hoping Jess feels the same, but still not 100% sure on that yet...

Her Mother's Daughter

Of course this won't come as a shock to anyone who knows the real me, but it appears that Mer's hair may have a little body to it...

Bootleg and Birthday Cake

We celebrated Todd's birthday this weekend with a 1929 Chicago-style murder mystery game. While no one correctly guessed Tommy Gunn's murderer, we clearly had a great time getting decked out in our gangster/flapper "glad rags."

A Super Weekend

We enjoyed a fun visit from DiDi this weekend, who of course had to make sure Mer was outfitted with some Cardinals spirit!



Post-op Jessie

A couple of sore backs from heaving this 76-pound beast up and down the stairs and a kabillion dollars later, Jess is on the mend after her knee surgery. Squirrels and cats, consider yourselves warned-- she'll be back with a vengeance!

Happy Birthday Dylan!

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to my niece Dylan who celebrated her first birthday this past weekend with a luau. Happy Birthday D!

Fun with the Littles

Another fun playdate with Lauren and Sam Little. Lauren is now FIVE, which just blows my mind as I remember her as an infant like it was yesterday. These photos were taken with Kelli's super-fancy "Dad camera" -- I think it may be time for an upgrade for me (hint, hint Eric).
