We just had a wonderful weekend while my best friend and her 2 adorable boys visited all the way from Chicago. Reece is 6 and Thomas is 3 1/2 and bambino #3 is due early January! We were able to enjoy an afternoon of swimming followed by a movie in bed while we chatted the night away. Man, I wish we lived closer.
Ellie spent most of Sunday cooking with me-- always fun despite the fact that everything takes slightly longer. She really enjoys it especially when there is a bowl to lick!
Miss Maggie cut her first 2 bottom teeth today... I got a funny text from our dear babysitter Kate saying...'Houston, we have a tooth!' This explains why she was up 3 times to nurse last night! She's sitting by herself now which is fun to see. The girls are more and more exciting to watch as they interact with each other. Ellie loves that she can make Maggie laugh. What fun to have 2 girly girls!

FOLLY BEACH 2009

We're just home from a wonderful week at the beach. My Mom/Dad, Jamie and Lindsay and their 2 children Jake and Brooke, my younger brother Ned and his wife Brandy and then all of us Morse's! We were a full house but this year our house was awesome... so spacious and right on the ocean. We had plenty of room to really spread out which was so nice considering we added 2 more little ones to the group! (Welcome Maggie and Brooke!)
We celebrated Mom's 65th birthday the first night with a fun theme party and Sunday night celebrated Father's Day with a yummy homemade seafood dinner.
On Tuesday, sadly, my mother fell (rather got knocked-over by a wave) and broke her hip! She was admitted to the hospital directly from an Urgent Care and had surgery first thing Wednesday morning. She was discharged Friday afternoon and we left the beach house Sat morning! Thankfully, everything has gone well so far and she's recovering nicely back in Greensboro with the help of her sister.
Overall though we had a wonderful time and we'll look forward to next year!
