Media Girls & Pox

Nikki D & SueBabe came for a visit this weekend!

We had a blast, on Friday night we had a girls' night - went out in Historic Roswell & checked out the wine at each of the restaurants. We cabbed it home where Dean welcomed us with yummy deserts from the bakery!

Sat. Nikki D & I laid out by the [baby] pool where she informed me that my "bug bites" were spreading.... I went to the minute clinic to find out that I have Shingles!! I was sent to the ER to get medicine to speed the recovery along so that I lower the risk to spread Chicken Pox to Quinn!

That night, Kimberly came for a visit (and brought a very beautiful gift for Quinn)

along with Juan & Bethany, for bakery pizza & wine. YUUMM!

Come Sunday, we found a suspicious bump on Quinn's arm.... Is it Chicken Pox?? Not sure we will ever find out, but don't think it was.

May

Lots going on in May

Thomas came for a visit

Quinn started finger foods

Gerb & Dana stopped by during their move to AU

And Quinn & I ran in our first race together

(first baby to cross the finish line ;)

On Labor Day Quinn & I ventured out to Juan & Bethany's pool today. She looked like hot stuff, but needs to work on her pool etiquette, she got cranky after about 45 minutes, and started complaining!!

Mother's Day Weekend, 2009

What a perfect Mother's Day weekend!

Nana Quinn, Aunt Laur, Almost Uncle Aaron, Aunt Chris, & Christian all came for a long weekend. The girls went out one night for Laur's "Bridal Dinner" & the guys stayed home for pizza!

On Sunday Bampa came & we all went to the church for Quinn's Baptism. Afterwards we had family & friends over for a little celebration.

A very busy April

We had a low key Easter this year, the three of us went to brunch at Alpha Soda & took Quinn to church for the first time. She did pretty good-- but only lasted through half of the ceremony! Once we got her home & down for her nap, she was beyond tired!

Quinn also found her toes & rolled over for the first time, right when we were starting to think she would never roll over! We busted her in her crib for the first time, & eventually she started rolling over with us around.

Bambpa came for a visit....

And she met her new friend Blair-- we went to Tara & Felix's for a cook-out. The girls played for a little while & then Quinn napped until it was time to go home.

Next up- we had a play date at Miss Carol's-- fun times with Marina, Natalia, Amelia, & Izzy!

And at the end of the month, we packed up the car for Quinn's first road trip. We went to visit Brian, Poppy, Audrey, & Mallory. We had so much fun visiting with the Driskells, we hung out at their beautiful house in Franklin, went for a walk in the park, and even were able to get a sitter so that the adults could have a nice dinner out!

Atlanta 1/2 Marathon

In April, I ran the Atlanta 1/2 Marathon. The race was a lot of fun-- Thanks to Beth Barr!

Dean, Quinn, & I got a hotel room in the city the night before the race & went out for a nice Italian dinner with Beth & Doug.

On race day, they met me at the hotel & we all walked to the race together. Beth & I ran (walked some) the entire race together, and ended up with a pretty decent time.

Even though it was a little cold & very windy, Dean & Quinn were waiting for me at the finish line!
