Scenes from the weekend...

And our second week at home with two under two begins... So far, so good!  Ask me again though next Monday when my mom is gone.  Boo hoo!  We survived last week but certainly welcomed the weekend.  G got his first bloody nose playing outside but luckily he was tough and didn't let it get him down.  B headed to the lake for his fantasy football draft with the boys, and I got a girls night Friday celebrating my sweet friend's birthday.  It felt SO good to get dressed and get out and enjoy a night with the gals {plus a fun champagne drink!}.  Oma was the best and gave B and me another night out Saturday too {please don't ever leave!}.  We headed to the Ryman for the Jason Isbell concert, and he did not disappoint.  The rest of the weekend was spent doing what we do best, just staring at our beautiful baby boys!  

Five on Friday

Happy Friday, friends!

I cannot believe how fast the week flies by with a newborn.

I mean between feeding, changing diapers and sleeping, the days tend to evaporate.

Excited to be linking up with Darci and friends to share my favorites this week.

 1. Cupcake Prosecco

Oh how I have missed this all summer!

Since Baby Jude arrived I have been enjoying a little bubbly.

2. Gorgeous flowers

Friends and family have been so kind to shower us with such lovely arrangements, but I have to say this one is my favorite!

Thanks to my sweet friend, Courtney, for sending us some love.

3. Grandparents

Where do I even begin?!? 

These grandparents are incredible!

What's the old saying about it taking a village...

These three took on the little man plus the new babe for a whole week.

Couldn't do it without them!

4. Yummy Food

MoMo and Poppa are gone, but Oma stayed and will be with us a little longer {hallelujah!}.

Not only is she entertaining G, changing Jude's dipes and doing all our laundry, she is whipping up some amazing meals.

This Brown Butter Gnocchi with Roasted Broccoli and Pine Nuts has been my favorite {goes great with the prosecco!}.

Recipe coming soon...

5. My boys

And last but certainly not least, these two.

I mean talk about stealing my heart.

B and his brother are the best friends, and I already see that bond with my two boys.

Cannot wait for all the adventures these two will get into in the years to come.

We have certainly enjoyed our first week at home with our new little one and are looking forward to the weekend.

I'm going to attempt a girls night and date night {we'll see how that goes!}.

Here's hoping you and yours have a lovely weekend as well!

Welcome to the world Baby Jude!

With painful contractions and false labor, I spent the last two weeks of my pregnancy thinking this baby was going to come any minute.  Wrong!  So the day after my due date, my doctor scheduled an induction.  We woke up last Tuesday morning anxious and excited to finally get to meet our new little one.  The grandparents were in town and the little man was taken care of so we were feeling good.  We checked into the hospital at 7am, and at 5:23pm Jude Maxwell Bolton entered the world.  A few rough spots due to some nausea, but the overall delivery was a cakewalk compared to George's birth.  I literally pushed three times, and there was Jude. It's so true when they say the second delivery is so much easier.  Easier yes, and just as special and incredible?  Absolutely!

Getting settled in and so ready to meet our little one.

Jude arrives and certainly made his presence known. 

The child has quite a set of lungs on him.

A big boy!

Love at first sight.

Meeting the grandparents.

Jude and his Poppa share the same middle name which is also my grandmother's maiden name.

George coming to meet his little brother for the first time.

Baby Jude got G a "big brother" gift, and he loved it!

George has been the best big brother from the minute he laid eyes on Jude.

Hugging and kissing him, saying, "My Jude.  My Baby Jude."

Talk about making a momma's heart swell.

Our family of four!

 Friends coming to meet Jude.

Little man is back!

 Ready to go home!

 

 This is how poor Jude arrived home!

Home sweet home!

Let the adventure of "two under two" begin...
