7. Emile, the girls and I took our first family vacation to Carolina Beach on the coast of North Carolina. While there, we also spent a morning seeing Wilmington. Two new locations in North Carolina!
14. Earlier this summer, we took the girls blueberry picking. It was actually our first time also. They loved it. They both did great picking only the blue fruit.
15. While in Carolina Beach, we flew a kite with the girls for the first time. Claire loved it. Natalie was more interested in going back to playing in the sand and waves at the beach.
27. I just got another massage today at the Falls Day Spa near my house. First time going there. It was wonderful!
29. I did wear a bikini again to the beach one time this year early in the summer before getting pregnant again. Thankfully, my stretch marks from Claire had actually already disappeared but wearing a bikini still felt challenging since I'm not as fit as I used to be ... but still not bad!
32. I have been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables as snacks and although I'm not planning on cutting out carbs, I'm defintitely doing better.
34. My splurge on myself was a new Coach hobo bag. I got it at a outlet store in South Carolina and I love it!
40. Emile and I did get a chance to go somewhere for our 10 year Gordo Day (our nickname for our dating anniversary). We went to Paris for a few days before one of Emile's work conferences. It was wonderful and our first trip together somewhere without the girls that was just for the two of us.
41. We did finally meet two new families in our neighborhood. We co-hosted a barbeque in which two new families game. One I've run interacted with since then but the other we haven't seen around yet.
42. I may have had another girls night out since the last update but I know there was at least one when a friend was leaving town. A bunch of us got together for a dinner at her house.
43. As with #42, there may have been another but Emile and I did recently go out two dinner and a movie here in Raleigh and then also to a movie when we were visiting family in Minnesota. We also went out to dinner and a movie a few months ago (we go to a lot of restaurants and movies!).
45. Natalie is now taking ballet and loves it. Claire will more than likely be taking it in a year as she's already into dancing a lot.
46. The girls went to the ocean for the first time during out trip to Carolina Beach in July. They loved it!
47. I just finished Claire's 1 year photo album last weekend. Just in time for her to turn two in 2.5 months.
49. While at Carolina Beach, we took the girls to the NC Aquarium in Fort Fisher.
59. I've recently finished reading Something Borrowed and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.
69. After speaking with our financial planner, our approach to the girls school has changed. The money will come out of a different source so setting it aside right now is not necessary.
78. I have finished decorating the girls bathroom and the breakfast room. I don't have photos yet of the breakfast room but here is the bathroom.
