Baby Shower for Rebecca and her little peanut Jack

We had a lovely shower for Rebecca and Ryan's "Little Peanut" on Sunday. I have a little obsession with elephants as Caroline's MUST HAVE has always been Pinky...the softest pink elephant on the planet (we now have 4 of them). So I found myself drawn towards elephant things when planning this shower...There are not alot of elephant decorations out there...so I made some. I figured out how to make little elephants out of diapers...turned out to be really cute (and easy if anyone ever needs to make one). Megan and I ran with the elephant and little peanut theme and made little favor boxes and a little peanut bar...all different kind of peanuts to fill your box (chocolate covered, M and M's, honey roasted, etc)...yummy! I forgot to take one pic during the actual shower but I did manage to snap a few before. Fun day. We can't wait to meet you Baby Jack (due 10-8-10)!

How did she get up there?

And btw....i cropped myself out of this pic...but the child does love to climb!

If you want to live happily ever after...

...then marry your very best friend! Happy 6th Anniversary My Love. I'd LOVE to do it all over again!

Cheerleading and cuteness

Caroline has started cheerleading this year for GAC. She is on an under 5 team called the starlites...sooo freaking cute. She loves it! WE can't wait for the season to begin. FUN. And I also had to post this cute, cute pic of Magarita sitting in the frig...this seat is just her size. Funny.

Flight of Honor

Maggie almost pooped out waiting for the flight to arrive.


Conrad, his trip escort(a true angel...volunteered and paid her own way)and MeMe


Welcoming home the Flight of Honor..there were thousands of people there. I actually ran into several of my great neighbors there who were just there to support all of the men.

My grandfather Conrad Fox is a true American Hero. When he was just a teenager he fought in the battle of the bulge and liberated a concentration camp. Recently, he and other WWII vets were honored by a wonderful trip to Washington DC. They were met early that morning with a hero's welcome, the news station was here, two fire trucks sprayed an arch that the airplane drove under on it's way to take off, and a huge pack of bikers with American flags lined the rode leading into the airport. When they arrived in DC, they loaded a bus and Conrad said that the road all the way from the airport to the WWII memorial (which was many miles) was lined with people cheering for them with flags and signs...umm...brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Here are a few pictures of their welcome back into Greensboro that night. I have never been more proud of Conrad and all of the men but more than that I was proud to be an AMERICAN. If you get a chance to support the flight of honor..do so. It is long overdue for the guys and it literally MADE Conrad's year.
