Last Week of March!!!

Lauren (one of my friends from nursing school) brought her little boy "Davis" over on Wednesday! Davis is so observant and such an explorer. He found and instant buddy when he shared all of his snacks with Hank!!!
We got to meet Dad and Grandma Dunnington for lunch on Sunday afternoon- We celebrated Easter with them 2 weeks early. Canton is a pretty good central point between them in Cartersville and us in Cumming. We ate at O Charley's.
Couldn't make a trip to Canton and not stop by and see Jenny & Nate! Jenny and I went to nursing school together and we use to work together. They have a little boy named "Charlie" and just had a new baby girl 5 weeks ago-- "Hayden Kate"!!
Hayden got a gift-- Charlie wanted to get in the bag and have us wrap him up!!!

Movies...

A cold, rainy, winter weekend-- never a better time for watching a movie. I love movies. I get totally sucked in. There are so many good ones. Brandon and I watched "Once"-- it is so good. It is short and sweet--not action packed but, devoted to character development. It has a WONDERFUL soundtrack-- we saw this movie for the 1st time about a year ago and I still listen to the songs all the time--they are all from the heart. If you click to the bottom of this blog you can hear one of the songs called "Falling Slowly". If you haven't seen it-- You should (at first it is a little hard to understand their thick accents--but you catch on-- try to excuse all the cussing!!)

We're Having a...

Baby GIRL!!! Brandon and I got to find out on Friday morning!!! It is so nice to just know and start planning, brainstorming, and daydreaming!!! You can also see the heart, stomach, and one of the kidneys in this shot. They say she weighs 11 ounces at this point.
This is the picture that shows the gender!!!
This is a little hard to see--but it is so sweet--it is the two little feet crossed--the bottom of the right one and the side of the left.

A New Decade

(Megan, Lana, Sarah, Becky, and Kriya)
On Friday I entered a new decade of my life-- I turned 30!!!! Brandon has a couple of months on me--he turned 30 back in November!! I am very excited about ALL the adventures that our 30's are going to bring!!! I didn't want to do anything big--but, Kriya turns 30 on March 2nd--so, we met with some friends at Taqueria Del Sol to celebrate the turning of a page!!! I love Taqueria Del Sol www.taqueriadelsol.com SO MUCH--- I love their fish taco's even more than I love veggie burgers at Houston's!! If you have never had a fish taco before it might not sound that appetizing--but don't judge until you try-- and don't just try one anywhere--you have to get one here!!!! If you are ever making a trip to IKEA you have to try Taqueria-- it isn't too far.
The Guys
Ben, Beau, Brandon, Christian, Ed
What's so funny Christian???
Lana and Ben came in for the weekend from Chattanooga--it was so nice to have them here. Lana is expecting a little on on August 31st!!! (exactly 1 month after me!!) Brooke and Andrew drove over for the day with their little girl Jordan--Brooke is expecting #2 in May!! We couldn't resist taking a corny pictures of the 3 pregnant girls!!My sweet Mom had to be out of town this weekend--so she came up and stayed with us for 2 days last week to celebrate her daughter turning 30!!!! Every year she brings me a big arrangement of my favorite flowers--white gladiolas.
