If only every day was Sunday!

This Sunday was one of the best in quite sometime!

We went to church and brunch in the morning with great friends, Murray's and Clare.  We stayed so long that the lunch crowd was in need of our table. However, with this gang, our meals average around 2-3 hours since we get so caught up enjoying the conversation that we lose track of time.  We probably would have sat there all day, if John and Wylie didn't get bored with us... I mean, they have better things to do than sit around Corner Bakery.

And what does an 18 month-old and a 4 month-old have to do on a beautiful, late-February, sunny Sunday afternoon, you ask?

Go to the park of course!

 

We had a fabulous Bevill-Murray Family outing. The weather was perfect after a week full of rain threats and cooler weather. We first ran/walked around the track. Then, we let the kiddos loose! John was a playground-fanatic. He went down the slide, climbed on the jungle gym, swung on the swing, and then went down the slide some more. Wylie watched it all going on around her from the comforts of her blanket. John slowed down enough for us to get the cutest picture of the two kiddos. To hear this little man say Wylie's name just melts my heart! He then was just too fast-paced for this "sitting" stuff, had a quick snack of water and blueberries, then back in action.

Wylie is becoming a champ at tummy-time and holds her head up very well. She gets a little tired after a while so we'll either roll her to her back or sit her up. She is almost sitting up by herself as well. She doesn't need much assistance... only with balance, but not for strength. On Monday, she turns 4 months! Such a big girl! We go on Wednesday for her 4 month check-up... no shots, thank goodness! Stay tuned for her update on measurements and what the doctor has to say...

Next weekend, the family is coming in town for her baptism. I'm so excited to be able to celebrate this event with family and friends. I'll be posting pictures as well.

In the meantime, here are a few more pictures to keep you satisfied until next post. I know you just can't get enough of this little girl, and I do not blame you!

Spring is in the Air... or maybe just in my mind.

Even though it's still February and we're having the coldest weather we've had all winter, my mind cannot help but think that it's already springtime. I love the spring... It's my favorite time of year!

I think I'm so mentally focused on the season getting here and quick because we have some exciting times ahead of us...

First, Wylie will be getting baptized the first weekend of March. (disclaimer: I know that is technically winter still, but the months of March, April and May = spring to me). Both sides of the family are coming in for the occasion!

Also in March is Match Day... Do you see the counter above? That's right, it's exactly 4 weeks from today. This weekend Ben and I will most likely be discussing for the last time his rank list, and then it's out of our hands! I can hardly contain my excitement (or anxiety, depending how you look at it). That same weekend is also St. Paddy's Day, when we'll take Wylie to the big parade downtown... We're looking forward to it.

April will be full of house hunting, cleaning, packing and etc since regardless of if we stay in Jackson or not, we plan on buying a house.

Ben and I also have birthdays in April and May, respectively... And my first Mother's Day! That same week we'll be going to the beach... I'm so ready for this vacation! I can't wait to see what Wylie thinks of the sand, ocean, pool and etc. She'll also be so cute in her 4 swim suits that I already have for her, but let's be honest... When is she not the cutest baby you've ever seen?! Yes, I'm biased! For example, here's a picture of her on Valentine's Day

And if the first picture isn't evident enough, the other pictures are from last weekend when it was cold enough to break out her North Face.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day and got to spend it with those you love the most! I sure do love my three valentines!
