What's up ladies?
We arrived back in the city late last Thursday night, but I'm only now coming alive. I've always heard that a vacation with kids is really not a vacation. It is so true. I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation. Don't get me wrong, we had a FABULOUS two weeks, but it was not your typical beach vacation! If you follow me on twitter, you have kept up with every little thing that has been going on. If you don't, you should. Click here to follow me and you can read all my recent tweets to catch up.The quick recap. The flight to Bham was great, the baby slept 90% of the way. The wedding was beautiful, pictures to come. The baptism was perfection. Baby J looked and acted like an angel. The Sip-N-See quickly turned from a small gathering to about 60 of my MIL and my friends. It really was fun though and a great way to introduce the little man to everyone. The 4 hour car ride from Bham to South Alabama was hell. Baby J is not a fan of car rides, apparently he prefers short taxi rides only. What a little Yankee baby we are raising. Our 2nd anniversary was fabulous. We had a wonderful dinner, popped a bottle of champagne my father-in-law gave on the day of our wedding (only took 2 years to drink it), and the best part...my parents babysat. The beach was incredible. The weather was hot and humid, just the way I like it. Baby J went for his first swim and looked adorable doing so in his monogrammed t-shirt, smocked swimming trunks and monogrammed A. Tierney sunhat. I officially have a slight tan thanks to my sister and Mom watching the baby. I ate fabulous seafood to my hearts content. I spent an additional 4 days at my parents home and enjoyed the down time, golf cart rides, more swimming at the updated country club, and visiting with friends. The plane ride back (2nd leg from ATL to LGA) was hell, 5.5 month olds don't travel well when you are by yourself. To think I'm going to do it all again in just a few short weeks for my KD Pledge Class reunion that I'm hosting at our beach house. I'm crazy and I can't wait!
I'm making my way through laundry and emails. Please forgive me if I have not emailed you back. I'll get there, I promise. I hope everyone is doing great. I am so behind on your blogs, but I promise...I'll get there! I hope y'all had a Happy 4th of July. I've missed you.

welcome home; love the pool pics!
What a fun trip. Love the picture!! So cute. xoxo
just traveled for the first time with our 10 month old, and the plane ride was...well something it was:) Mostly long!! It was not the same beach vacation I am use to, but it was fun to introduce Hayden to the sand and surf. Glad you had fun!!.
I was a KD too!! Univ of Missouri!! What fun to have a pledge class reunion. Good luck on the next flight, you are a braver woman than I!!
okay- you might win for most precious baby ever!
kHm
Are you a KD?? I'm a KD too and hosted a pledge class reunion last year on Charleston. Great minds ;)
He is too cute! I love his hat too...I've got to know where you got it?!
Welcome back!
Baby J is adorable!
So glad you are back- I've missed keeping up! BTW, I checked your twitter page and can't read anything on top of the background- maybe it's just my monitor though.
I'm so glad you had fun, and I can't wait to see all your pictures. I'm jealous that you had so much family time and so much seafood! B and I didn't consider how much time our two week honeymoon would take away from our normal vacation time up north. Luckily, two weeks in Spain isn't a regular occurrence in our lives, so we won't have to consider that very often ;)
Have fun catching up on laundry, groceries, organizing, etc.
Followed your vaca on Twitter, sounds like you had a blast! Are ya'll going to any Bama games this fall?
He looks presh in his little bathing suit and hat! Glad you had a good vacay. I didn't know we were sisters - I'm also a KD. :)
Baby J is just so scrumptious in his little hat. I'm telling my ovaries to pipe down already as I type this.
Glad you had a nice trip, but also happy that you're back!
LOL
Love the pic!
Can't wait for the beach!!
So true about the vacation. Need one away with hubs alone!
Baby J is too cute in that photo!!
I always sympathize with parents flying alone with babies-tough job!
