Catch Up....Vol. 2?

I have been sooooo busy lately - I always think about blogging and then never seem to get around to it.  I know, excuses! :)

So, going forward, I am really going to work hard on keeping this up to date!  To catch y'all up- here is a little bit about what has been going on around my neck of the woods....

Last Saturday, my sweet friends Jennifer and Mary hosted a wedding shower for me in Burlington.  They did such a wonderful job- I cannot begin to explain all of the thought and hard work they put into making the day special.  Everyone had a wonderful time, including myself.  I got to see some of my fabulous friends- which is always a treat!

In my last catch up post I mentioned that my friend Emily would be coming into town to shoot a newborn session for my other friends Kristin and Timothy- and their handsome man, Braylen.  Last Sunday we met at my parents house in Burlington in hopes to get some good shots of the little guy- he was 11 days old at the time! :)

The shoot was a breeze- Braylen was wonderful and Emily got some fabulous pictures!  Below are a couple of pictures from the day!

(What a cutie!)

(Love how this one turned out!)

(Just beautiful!)

(And because i cant help myself- hehe)

**If you are interested in having in pictures done- Emily is your girl!  She is a fabulous photographer and her prices are reasonable- not to mention she is so much fun to work with! :)

Speaking of our friends Kristin and Timothy- they called us last week to see if we were available to go to a Grasshoppers game on Tuesday night.  Chris and I haven't been all year, so of course we couldn't pass it up!  It was a perfect night for a game!  We also ran into some of friends of ours there- Katie, Jeremy, and Landon were there enjoying the game with some of their friends!  It is always so good to see them- Landon is such a cutie!!!

This past Saturday was another busy day!  I had my 3rd and final wedding shower!  Whew- 3 in a row!  This one was in Greensboro, hosted by Chris' aunt, cousin, and best friends mom.  Again, it was wonderful and they really made me feel so special.  I got lots of wonderful gifts- Chris and I feel really blessed!

Sunday was spent with, who else, our Dad's!  Our first pit stop was to Chris' parents house for lunch.  Sunday lunch is very much a tradition in the Collins house.  I cant wait until Chris and I have a house- we will definitely host some Sunday lunches at our place!  We got to spend time with Chris' dad, Chuck, and let him know how much we appreciate him, not only for fathers day- but all of the time!

Next stop was to my parents house!  We spent the second half of Sunday in Burlington celebrating fathers day with my dad as well as most of my mom's side of the family.  Since there are so many siblings on my moms side and it would be hard to decide who gets to celebrate fathers day with my grandpa - we decided the easiest thing to do is all get together.  My dad steamed shrimp and crab legs- we had that along with corn, potatoes, and kielbasa!  YUMMY!  It was a long day- but we were so happy to spend the day with the people we love the most!
