Packing 101

So here we are the night before we embark on our journey to Europe. I have been packing all week getting myself ready for France and Italy and Hudson ready for a week at his grandparents house. Brad has packed nothing. He keeps insisting that he has all of his stuff ready to be put in a bag. I have yet to see one shirt or even one sock placed in the bag. I just hope he is ready to go when we leave the house tomorrow. I have taken a few photos to illustrate my point. Brad's suitcase is the empty one and my stuff is already neatly packed. On another note I am very excited to use my new luggage for the first time. This will be my last post until we return from Europe!

Bath Time with Hudson and Maverick

Hudson loves taking a bath these days. Maverick of course has to push his big self into the bathroom every night. I guess everyone loves bath time. I thought these pictures were too cute not to share.

A Trip to the Aquarium

Brad and I took Hudson up to Atlanta to spend the day at the Aquarium with Kristen and Philip. We all had a fun time. Here are some pictures from the day!

Daddy, Please Come Home

Brad has been in Atlanta since Sunday night for work. Hudson and I miss him so much. We are ready for him to come home. Thankfully Brad will be home tomorrow night, and maybe I can have the night off. I have a new appreciation for single mothers after 4-5 of Brad's work trips. It is a lot of work to take care of Hudson and get myself ready for work and get out the door each morning. Luckily Hudson is a great baby and I have enjoyed our week together. Here are a few pictures of Hudson and Brad.

It's Fun to be One!

Hudson is having so much fun with all of his new toys. His favorite is his car but his second favorite is his Kangaroo Climber Playhouse. Hudson loves to climb and crawl under and over everything so this toy is perfect for him. Maverick enjoys playing with him too. Hudson is changing so much everyday. I can't believe how quickly he is growing. We are pretty sure he is getting close to walking on his own. Here are a few pictures of him and his Kangaroo Climber.

We had a great time at Hudson's Cupcake themed 1st Birthday Party. He loved the cake and opening presents. Here are a few photos from the party earlier today. I will post a video tomorrow.
