Big Boy Seat/Trip to Louisville

Last weekend Liam and I went to Louisville while Michael was out of town on a work trip to Orlando. His work trip was March 7th-March 13th so Liam, Gus, and I decided to go visit family and friends in Louisville for the weekend. We left Friday the 7th and came back Monday the 10th. We had a great trip! Liam got a big boy car seat and is now forward facing. He rode in it for the first time on Thursday, March 6th on his way to Grandma's. (You can see from the pictures below how big he thinks he is in his new seat.) We were able to visit with a lot of people while in Louisville. 

We got to see all of my immediate family, Grandpa Nash, Grandma and Grandpa Ellingsworth, Aunt Viv and Uncle Scott, and I got to have brunch with some of my girlfriends on Saturday! I should have taken more pictures of visiting with family, but it stays pretty busy when there are 4 kids running around Nana and Pop's house!

Sunday morning we went to church and then came home and had breakfast. Sunday was "Mom's Day Out" and my sisters, Mom, and I went to a consignment store to get some clothes for Liam, and then to the the NuLu (East Market District) to shop and have lunch. The dad's and Pop stayed home with the kiddos so we could have some sister/mom time. It was so nice for the four of us to get to visit and be out and about on a beautiful day. I had not been to this part of town since they had added shops and restaurants and it was fun to walk around to see it all. I have some pictures below of our big day out on the town :)

Late Winter Update

We haven't been too busy lately (and I am not complaining), but I wanted to post some pictures from the past few weeks. We are definitely over winter and ready for spring!

We love the water!

Liam's school had an art show and this was Liam's class project.

Love this picture.

A new trick!

Took advantage of a pretty day and went to the park!

Big Snow Day

Knoxville got some big snow in February. The snow came the night of February 12th (a Wednesday) and Liam's school and most offices were closed on the the 13th. Even Michael didn't had to go in to work until about 11 am.

We took a walk in the morning to enjoy the pretty snow. The sun came out in the afternoon and most of the snow was gone by the evening. Liam made his first snowball! He wasn't a huge fan of how cold it was, but was pretty intrigued by the white stuff.
