The shirt says it all

a little ways into Lindsay's reception....just in case you couldn't tell from the sweaty faces and huge cheesy grins!!

Four generations.....my grandmother,pa, me and Lola

Me and Linds at the rehearsal dinner ( I know I have gorgeous friends!!)
In case you couldn't tell, my wonderful friend Lindsay got married!!!! She was absolutely gorgeous as I knew she would be, and we had a blast at the reception. My dad and grandmother babysat for me that night.
Lola and I visited my dad in Bath, NC this past weekend. Its the oldest town in North Carolina, so needless to say its gorgeous there. It's a very small country town, but I loved it! We took Lola on her first boat ride!!! She slept almost the whole time! She usually loves water, but was not too fond of the water that day.
We have definitely been spoiled since we've been here. Everyday we have been bouncing between grandmothers, great grandmothers, grandpas and good friends. We are enjoying every minute in North Carolina, but time is going by way too fast!

First time at Wrightsville Beach

our dog in Wilmy-Brock!

Whatcha lookin at Grandma?!

Grandma holding up the umbrella while Lola sleeps

Looks like shes picking her nose, but shes really tasting the sand

First time at Wrightsville Beach!! She loves the sand!

playing in her new chair!! She loves this thing and so do we. We can take it to the beach, park, or just hangout at the house!!

She falls asleep in a matter of minutes when we get in the car!

First time in her chair!!

Uh oh Mommy caught me!!

Uncle Dan and Aunt April

precious!

talking to da-da on the phone!

hanging out in the bathroom of the Tokyo airport! And yes the Japanese have chairs in their bathrooms for the babies to sit while Mommy potties!

Grandma Wade and I took Baby Lola to the beach today and it was an experience! It went from being too hot to the wind blowing like crazy!!! So our tent we bought for the beach didn't work so well!! We ended up having to hold up the umbrella to give Lola shade while she slept, as you can see from the pictures above. Though we had to tote everything but the kitchen sink out to the beach it was of course worth it b/c Lola had so much fun-well when she was awake!!

So in case you all couldn't tell-we made is safely to NC and are throughly enjoying ourselves. All I have been doing is showing off Lola!! And of course shopping for her! She has gotten lots of presents from Aunt Lauren and her parents, me shopping and of course all the grandparents buying some stuff too!!
Tomorrow I think we are finally gonna make it to the beach! Can't wait!! So I will update with some more pics. The internet is super fast here so I can upload a picture in a matter of seconds rather than minutes! Its great!
