So, last Monday Mason and I hiked up to BG to meet up with Carrie and Colt to go on a playdate. Carrie & Colt were on Spring Break, so she was spending a few days with her parents there. She wanted to introduce me to some of her friends she grew up there and their little ones, plus I wanted to see some familiar faces when we move up there! We had such a fun day. Carrie's friend, Valerie, hosted the play date and then we all went to lunch at Buckhead's. I think that's going to be my new favorite place! They have the 2nd best chicken salad I've ever had (next to the recipe that Carrie rigged up as an imposter to the chicken salad we love from Corner Bakery in Atlanta). It's so comforting to know that when we move Mason and I will already have a sweet little group of friends. And as for Marc, well, he's on his own! Ha ha! Mason was the youngest but was so intrigued by watching all the "big kids" play. Most of them were 2, so that was interesting. :)
After playing & lunch, Carrie and I drove around for a few hours so she could show me different neighborhoods. We found some super cute houses! I drove as Carrie jotted down about 500 different phone numbers of houses for sale or rent. We also visited with Carrie's momma ,Vivian, for a while so she could also give me the scoop on the town of Bowling Green. What a fun-filled day Mommy & Mason had on their little road trip!
I think I like this toy!!
All the kiddos... wait, where's Colt? It looks like they're lined up from youngest to oldest! Look at my sweet boy... old enough to be on a little play date with big kids!! He's growing up WAY too fast!
Mason slowly losing focus...
Come on Mason, let's get outta here!
Attempting a cute picture with our boys... Didn't quite happen!
Oh, this was hilarious. Zoe wanted to get in her crib with Mason so she could jump up and down and bounce him up in the air! Colt saw all the fun going on and wanted to join in.
Zoe is too cute! She's the 2-year old daughter of Valerie.I love them!
Hangin' out with Auntie ViVi (Carrie's mom, Vivian)
Can we please say Marc Jr. & Seth Jr. !??!?!?!?!
Mason & Colt having the biggest conversation
It's so cute that as Mason gets older & older he's able to play and interact with Colt more

Secrets
Playdate girls at Buckhead's... Carrie & Colt, Tiffany & Miles, Valerie & Zoe, Tonya & Audrey... and of course Mason chillin' in his stroller I had to take a pic of Tiffany cuz she reminds me soooooo much of her sister, Shannon! We were friends with Shannon & Paul when we lived in Louisville because Marc & Paul were in med school together (Paul a year ahead of Marc) and they went to Westport Road with us. We're gonna be reunited with them in Bowling Green! Yay!
I love the pictures! I can't decide which were my favorites. I want them all. Did you put them on Shuttefly where I can print them? I love the one that is Seth and Marc Jr. Could they look any more like their dads?
Will Mason have a little BROTHER or a little SISTER?

Our Life
Our lives have not been the same since the arrival of Mason Thomas Mother's Day 2008, and now waiting on his little sister, Mallory, to arrive in Feb. 2011! We are so excited to be in the midst of a new chapter since Marc finished residency at Vandy and we moved from Nashville to Bowling Green in July 2009. Marc is beginning his 2nd year as a practicing ophthalmologist at Graves-Gilbert Clinic. I am so proud of my wonderful husband for all of his hard work and the amazing doctor he has become! After getting married March 8, 2003, we had five years of wonderful adventures before becoming parents. Whoever told us this parenting thing would be hard, come live in our household for a day! :) Thankfully, Mason makes it pretty easy for us. I am not saying that being a mommy is without it's challenges, but overall I am one happy, well rested momma! I gave up my job as a sociology professor at Lipscomb University to hang out with my sweet baby boy and watch him grow every single day. Through the heartache of three miscarriages, I feel it is my ministry in life to reach out to other women who are going through similar experiences. Even through the pain of miscarriage, we are walking examples of how God CAN provide! We are truly thankful. I would love to hear your story and share mine with you. It may be the greatest pain we ever endure, but God's plans lead us to the biggest blessings we could ever receive. Our nightly prayer... Thank you, Jesus, for Baby Mason & Baby Mallory!
