Our weekend started out with great news. We accepted an offer on our house (back in PA)!! We feel so blessed that things have worked out like they have. We will be closing at the end of the month. So...since our weekend was off to a great start...we had a wonderful rest of the weekend. Friday, I went to my 1st Mom's group down here and we met a the butterfly garden at the Science Center. It was such a beautiful day and it was fun to meet other moms in the area. Pic from the butterfly garden...I never caught a really good pic of the butterflies!!
My brother-in-law (Devin) stopped by here on his way to see friends in Charlotte. This was the 1st time that he and Brooke got to meet!! I have to tell this story because it's too funny not to share. When Devin got to our apt, Scott met him outside to let him know which one was ours. Brooke was taking a nap so I got Roxy on her lease and headed out to meet Devin as well. The front door on our apt locks automatically (it is terrible!!) so when I walked out, I forgot the key!! We were locked out of our house for 45 minutes (thankfully we could hear that Brooke wasn't crying and was sleeping) but Scott finally broke the window so we could get in!! The whole time Devin was here...he was helping clean up the glass everywhere. Sorry Devin... :) it was good to see you anyway and thanks for your help!!
Devin and Brooke in front of the shattered window! :)
Saturday afternoon we headed over to the dog park...
Saturday afternoon headed to the pool...Brooke was waving as she was driving down the road right before this..we couldn't stop laughing!

She splashes so much and so hard that she kept getting it up her nose! She was loving it!

This is a new face she is making...we laugh so hard every time she does it!!

We are so happy that she is loving the water....good excuse for us to go to the pool everyday!
Leaving the pool...
Saturday night we headed downtown to get some dinner...this was at the park before we ate.
This picture is such a real picture of motherhood. I am putting one earring back in as she is pulling out my other one...it's a balancing act!!!
This is such a cool building...it is hollow inside...they were having a wedding there and it was gorgeous...
