HUTCH!!

The first part of the summer was jammed pack with really awesome and fun things. 

One of the best things to happen, however, was the birth of my newest nephew, Hutchins Brave Hill!

I am so thankful for him and so thankful that I got to be in the hospital waiting room when he was born, which meant I got to meet him when he was really fresh to this world! He is the only one of my neice/nephews that I have gotten to be there for!! Life is just such a miracle. 

Earlier that day, before Hutch was born, and while Natalie was at home having contractions, we were all at the lake having a blast and watching Honey attempt to water ski! She is only 2 and did an amazing job! She didn't get up on the skis, but she didn't get scared and tried!! I was so impressed!

 After the lake, we packed up some things and headed to Greensboro to welcome Hutch to the world! Honey wore her Big Sis outfit and was just so sweet and excited about being a big sister. If you want to watch a super cute video of her meeting Hutch, you can find it here! Its super adorbs! 

Charlies Angels

I was so blessed to grow up on such an awesome street with some amazing playmates. We would play everyday after school. We would play on snow days. We had Halloween parties. We sang (and video taped) every Shania Twain song under the sun. We made up clubs, fought over who would be walked home first, sold pretty flower looking weeds (not weed) to our neighbors, and even defended our neighborhood against the scary blue enemy. 

It was the perfect childhood. 
We were Charlies Angels because we had all the hair colors...red, blonde, and brown!...and because we are awesome fighters. :)

This summer we were finally able to find one weekend that worked for us all to get together for a relaxing beach trip to Bopper's (Christine's) beach house! It was so fun to get to be together again. I can just be myself with these girls. If I want to just sit and not say anything, that is fine. If I want to be ridiculous, that is fine too. They know me so well. There is just something so special about childhood friends. They cannot be replaced!

We have all grown, of course! We all got married within the past 2 years, and one of us has even popped out a baby! Its so fun to see my friend be a mom and love her little precious Sophie!

I am thankful for you girls! Now, I leave you with some ridiculously cute pictures of Sophie Lee!
