Vacation Part II

Our vacation was only supposed to have 2 parts, but thanks to Hurricane Irene we got three!  We evacuated on Thursday and headed to Fayetteville to stay with Jamie and Erin.  Jamie had never met us, but opened up his home to us and we made the best of it!  It was still vacation after all!!!  It rained and was a bit windy there for about a day, but that was it.  Then we had beautiful weather to enjoy while we waited to head back to the Outer Banks.  While in Fayetteville we got to visit Merle & Odell which was really nice since it had been a good 10 years since I'd last seen them and they got to meet Mike and the kids.  We visited the Children's Museum which Emily loved, went to a park, and swimming in the pool.  Then we finally got to head back to vacation...  Here are some pics of our evacuation fun!  Thanks again Jamie for putting up with us!!!

Will was cracking up at the sound this makes.  These were his first real continued belly laughs.  We've had a couple of giggles here and there, but this was the real deal!

Fun at the park!

Sliding fun!

Pool time!

William even woke up for the action!

My Aunt is the Best!

Can you believe his father did this to him?

His sister may have done this one...poor boy!  He doesn't seem to mind though!

Vacation Part I

The first part of our vacation was in Nags Head.  We had great weather to start the week and Emily had a blast swimming and going to the beach to see the trucks.  Yes, there were trucks all over the beach doing restoration.  It didn't stop us though, we found a good place to dig and do some swimming!  Our week was cut short as we were evacuated on Thursday in anticipation of Hurricane Irene.  Here are some pics of our fun!

First time in the ocean.  Will really didn't seem to mind it.

Chasing birds!  Emily would pick one out and chase it as far as she could.

Emily and Snuggie on the deck.  Yup, that's the sun rising.  We were up early pretty much every day!

I may get some more pics up here, but this is it for now!  :)

Week 17 and Week 130

William is 17 weeks old and Emily is 130 weeks old.  We spent the week getting ready for vacation and started our trip on Saturday at 4 am!  I'll post more about vacation in other posts, but here are a few pics of our week!

Week 16 and Week 129

William is 16 Weeks old and Emily is 129 weeks old.  We had another fun week.  We went to the fair on Tuesday and Emily had a blast!  She loved everything about it, the animals, rides, food, she just had a great time.  Well, she didn't love meeting Smokey the Bear so much, but she did get a nice pink pencil from him!  William slept through most of it, but he loves hanging out wherever we go!

William has found his feet and really enjoys grabbing and playing with them.  I think we've even heard a giggle or two.  He is growing up so fast!!  As for what we are calling him these days...Will, Buddy Boy, Buddy Man, Little Fella (Emily's favorite!), Silly Willie, and Daddy's new fav...Spider Man!

Here are some pics of our fun...
