Baby Monsters!

We had our 10 week ultrasound last week and the doctor gave us the ultrasound pictures to bring home. Jack found them on the coffee table and I told him that those were the babies. He turned to me and said, "No Mommy. Those aren't babies. Those are monsters. Baby monsters."

I hope this isn't foreshadowing a bigger problem!!!

Happy Anniversary (a few days late)!

Mommy and Daddy celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary last weekend. Our wedding was so fantastic but it paled in comparison to our daily life together. After having been together for almost 13 years, we are definitely ready to tackle this next big adventure!

Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Fun!

The Spillman Family is (FINALLY) pleased to announce that we are expanding! We aren't just growing a little, we're growing A LOT! Jack will be a big brother to not one, but TWO, babies in January! Please wish us luck as we embark on this super exciting (and scary) journey!

WOW! at the Botanical Gardens

On Sunday we headed to the World of Wonder at the Norfolk Botanical Gardens. We heard about this place through our VB blog friends and we weren't disappointed. It reminded us so much of our neighborhood park in Chicago (excuse Mommy while she sheds a nostalgic tear) and Jack was in splashing heaven.I'm sure all of you mommies and daddies out there can relate--isn't it so magical to see the simple pleasures your child(ren) can experience??!!

It was so much fun, Jack really didn't know what to do with himself! (Or this could be when we told Jack for the 10th time that he wasn't allowed to take his pants off!!!)

Beach Days!

There is nothing better than a day at the beach (or the bay). Jack could play all day and never get tired of the water and sand. Mommy and Daddy especially love it because it usually means an epic nap afterwards!

Mr. Potato Head

Girls play dress up. We play Mr. Potato Head!

Just Call Him Hugh

Hugh Hefner, that is. Jack was seriously sporting his bathrobe this evening :)

Pungo Strawberry Festival

Sorry for the delay in posting. Daddy threw his back out a few weeks ago and was completely laid up for a few days which caused us to get behind in everything. Thankfully Daddy is almost back to his old self and we are back on track!

While Daddy was in bed, Mary Grace and Maya invited us to the Strawberry Festival parade. What a fun day! Of course the kids had to have something to drink so we bought them strawberry lemonades. Little did we know that the drinks were as big as their heads!!!Jack thought the parade was fantastic and he was most excited about the "marching men." He would cheer whenever a marching band came by and pretended to play his air drum along with them. I think, whether we like it or not, we have a future band geek on our hands :)
Jack thought the Shriners men were driving Lighting McQueen :)
For some reason Jack has a strange obsession with yellow cars so this part of the parade was particularly exciting...
What could be better than a parade, a strawberry necklace and a blue lollipop? I really can't think of anything!
