it's the start of something new ...

so, i have been trying to write a blog that will catch you up with life, but i just don't seem to have the time these days ... so i am going to just jump in with the here and now, and then fill you in with the past as i go.



so here is our family: Lucky, Natalie (with baby #3 on board ... due in October!), Lillian (3.5 years), and Arwen Grace (2 years). this picture was taken this past weekend outside the aquarium. we went to Atlantic Beach with Lucky's family and had a wonderful time. we started at Fort Macon (sorry, i don't have any pictures from there!) where we ate lunch, played in the water, and went on sea shell walks. the girls really enjoyed both the beach and their Grandma and Grandpa. Arwen Grace, who turned 2 in May, keeps asking me if we are going to the beach with Grandma and Grandpa this day. she is just cute like that.

so after the beach, we went to the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. the girls just loved it! here are pictures of the girls there:





here is Lillian ... while she tends to be more on the cautious side, she surprised me by sticking her head inside the mouth of this "stuffed" alligator. but that is her silly side, as you can see by her expression, and i believe it allows her to become braver with each new day or adventure. she working up to riding a pony at the fair. :)











and here is Arwen Grace in one of her more quiet moments (she doesn't have that many!). she was enjoying looking at the fish and they were enjoying looking at her! they just kept coming up to her and looked at her for 5-10 seconds and then swam off. it was kind of funny.
