The best week

 This past week I went down to visit my family and surprise Emma for her baby shower brunch and hang out until the baby was born. Emma hadn't met Sterling yet and is off to Toronto for so long this week and so the window of opportunity was very small. My trip was spontaneous and so wonderful, despite it raining almost the entire time, I got my fill of family love. I spent most of my mornings at my parents drinking coffee and most of my afternoons with the Perkins gang. 

Good Morning Sterling! 

We spent a few rainy hours at Summer House with my mom, looking at (and buying) pretty things while drinking sparkles.

 Sterling took a nap on the most expensive piece of furniture in there! 

Seaside on the hottest day...nothing these two knuckleheads and a mimosa from Modicas can't fix!

 We spent a morning with Remi while Mk and Mike took Rocco to get ready for school...Sterling's number one fan of all time! All he does is say "baby, baby, baby" with a smile that is going to explode and smothering hands that can't contain his joy and love.

Emma came down on a Thursday for pedicures and started to go into pre labor! So I drove her back to Pensacola and stayed until the baby was born Saturday morning! (we love our pedis)

Just waiting for our baby to come! 

Champ of all champs! Sterling slept almost the entire time Emma was having the baby and a couple hours after so we could get our uninterrupted fix of Pippa!

Sterling and Pippa!

Pippa and Me! 

My babies!

 To add to the joy, J surprised me the morning before I was to leave and got to spend an entire day in the sunshine, meet Pippa, see Mark, and help me with the much dreaded drive back! Can you believe his sweetness!

And just some more sweet photos...

Hello eyes!

My mom's last few snuggles before she and MK get on a plane to Paris...rude

Sterlings new crib, my new art, and my favorite new site...

An abundance of photos of not the greatest quality but overflowing with joy!
