just catching up

I want to apologize to all of my faithful readers to my lack of posting but once I get done with this one you will all understand why. As most of you know, Charlie decided to take the job in Gulfport Mississippi which is very exciting news. He accepted last Monday so we headed to Mobile in search of a house and were successful!! We are renting a little house in Spring Hill Manor which we were very lucky to come across. It is so cute but OH SO SMALL. Our house here in Atlanta is around 1600 sq ft. and the one we are moving to is 1100 sq. ft. I know...it seems crazy but i am convinced we can fit all our STUFF into it. Well at least I thought we could until I started packing this Monday and am now looking at 60 boxes stacked to my ceiling. HOLY %@&*^&@!!!! Our real estate
agent came over this afternoon and as she walked in she too said "oh my word where have you kept all of this stuff... well at least we know you have a lot of closet space". lets just hope our new house has a lot of closet space. The movers will be here Monday morning bright and early so we should be moved in by Tuesday night. I am very much looking forward to that time!

As for Hardin...While we were in Mobile she had her first beach trip with mom and I which she LOVED. I of course took a ridiculous amount of pictures because she just so happens to be the cutest baby ever in a sear sucker one piece. It was a beautiful day and the tide had been up in the morning so by 2 there were little "baby pools" as i liked to call them all down the beach. It worked out just perfect for Hardin since she wasn't so sure about the waves.

I decided to really get her used to the water and fill up the "real" baby pool that mom got her the next day. I filled the pool up in the shade but after we got in it the sun was beaming down on it so I held an umbrella over her as she splashed and played in the pool. I am sure Mom's neighbors were wondering what in the world i was doing but i didn't want her to get sun burned. She seemed to love the umbrella and ended up holding it herself so i got the camera and once again went crazy with the picture taking. She absolutely loves the water. She splashes and kicks like crazy. I cant wait to get her down there so we can take regular trips to the beach and pool.


After all this she still has the energy to play with Peyton..






Hardin no longer wants to be in her walker. She enjoys being under it. And because she is MY child I thought some of you might get a kick out of these looks:)


That a girl;)!!

I LOVE those thighs. She is so cute and I am so jealous that you get to move to Mobile. Good luck with the move and getting set up.
