I simply adore these pictures.
Erica captured these for us when our little one was just 9 days new.
{Beaufort Bonnet Swaddle – these will be a must for all of my babies.}
{I found the bunny hat on etsy but can’t remember the shop name}
{My cousin gifted us this alphabet blanket before Anderson was born. I love that we were able to use it.}
Saturday was one for the books.
Boo and I had ordered the boys boat outfits and they looked so darn cute!
We started the day at “Top of the Rock”. It was definitely a touristy thing to do, offering those views again of the city that never get old to see.

The boys decided to go to the Met’s game so the girls enjoyed a champagne brunch in Rockefeller and a day of shopping.
the boys first subway ride
coincidence that these two streets meet?
We all met back up for happy hour at Frying Pan. Its basically an old ship on The Hudson that was turned into a bar and is way too much fun.
Sunday was Father’s Day so we had some extra snuggles with daddy, packed up and hit the ground running for our last few hours.
We attended mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
We shopped and then ate a late lunch at Rockefeller again. The mojitos were delicious.
What's a trip to NY without seeing the Naked Cowboy? ok, I could’ve gone without it.
We said our goodbyes and we were off to head back home.
It was most certainly a trip to remember. The next trip is already in the works!
John had an appointment in Charleston Wednesday so we were able to start our {last} beach vacation of the summer early.
We tagged along to the appointment and hung out in the car. Little man wanted to have his first drive.
We met our friends at Water’s Edge for dinner and drinks. We hadn’t seen these girls since they surprised me on the day he was born. We had so much fun chatting and catching up!
Thursday morning we packed the car and made our way to Myrtle Beach to spend the long weekend with my family.
Anderson has become quite the beach bum this summer.
My favorite part of the beach is the naps that come after a long day in the sun. We snoozed for a few hours then took a stroll on the beach before we met the family for dinner. Side note: My sister has started an etsy shop, AW Designs, that has become on our favorite places to shop. Isn’t this custom crab bubble adorable?
Another favorite- The Beaufort Bonnet Company. We have gotten our moneys worth out of the hats we bought for the summer. {and if I can ever get around to blogging his newborn pictures, their swaddles are too cute to handle too}.
These babes clearly agree.
John dug a hole for the {diva} babies so they could recline and relax.
Friday night was the Dupree/Thompson turn to cook. We {read Amy} made a shrimp orzo dish that was so good it will be made again in our house very soon.
Our last beach day of the summer came too fast but we took full advantage.
Saturday was the Watson/Kubas’ turn so our little family spent that time on the beach.
Lobster, tuna, veggies and potatoes was served that night. Such show offs they are but the food was super yummy!
We ended the weekend with dinner at Travinia. We’d never tried it but we’ll be going back. John had spaghetti with meatballs and I had a salad with tuna.
Oh and my baby is old enough to wear shoes. Time really needs to slow down. Is a baby in shoes not the cutest thing?!?
