Feelin' Brand New

Lila had her cast taken off last week and her arm is completely healed. She only had a splint and a cast on for a total of 3 weeks. She did great with the cast on but was very excited to have it gone. We all were. Here are pics from the day she got her cast off.

After:

Calvin got his first haircut and he did great as well. He stayed calm the entire time. I didn't really want him to get the haircut, it was more Chris' idea. Calvin looks so handsome with his new 'do and even looks older.
Here are pics from the day.
Oh, and a friend told us about the hair cutting place we went to and they only charge a penny for your baby's first haircut. They gave us this certificate and even put all the hair they cut off in a baggy.

Calvin has also started walking! He is changing and growing into a big boy and no longer seems like a baby to me. Here's a video from a few weeks ago when he first started taking steps away from the couch.
I need to take a more recent video of him because now he walks all the time and all over the place.

Both Lila and Calvin have changed so much in this past month. Lila is talking more and more. She repeats everything we say and is asking questions about everything she sees. I love hearing her tell me stories. Even if its the same ones over and over again, they always make me smile. Calvin is no longer a baby. He eats like a big boy and will be running around here like a big boy in no time. They wear me out but in a good way:)

...Third Is The One With The Treasure Chest

Chris and I have been married 3 years and 5 days. Our anniversary was last Wednesday, March 7th. We were both horribly sick on the day but had already planned on going out to dinner the Friday after to celebrate. We went to The Peddler Steak House. It's a Greenville landmark where they cut your steak any size you want and cut it right in front of you. We found out the largest cut they've made was a 72 oz. steak AND all of it was eaten by one person. That is crazy and gross, anyhow we had a lot of fun and the food was delicious.

We took a pic before we headed out the door.
The past 3 years...well, I'm at a loss of words. Chris and I have asked each other if we thought this is how life would be. The answer is NOPE, NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. Our life together has been full of so many miracles. We have been so blessed and there is no way we could have planned things to be this good. Sure, we have trials, but the good moments definitely outweigh the trying ones.
Our last 3 years have been amazing and I look forward to many more:)
