South Dakota Pooleys

Our bestest friends, the Pooleys, came to visit us from South Dakota this weekend. Can I just say how much we love them? In case you are new to my blog, we met the Pooleys in Nashville when Scott & Ryan were getting their Ph.D's at Vanderbilt. We already had so much in common when we met - just to name a few...Scott & Ryan's birthdays are one day apart and their mothers are named Mary. We were married on April 28th and they were married on July 28th and both Audra and my birthday are in June. But beyond the facts, our families just fit so well together! We are always so happy to get to see them.

Playing in the backyard - wouldn't this have been a good picture if Nate was in a cooperative mood. Oh I forgot, when would that be??

Sweet girls that were happy to pose for a picture...Quinn & Sullivan.

Mrs. Audra meeting the newest addition to our family. Lila will be able to keep up with the big kids next year. Sort of :)

Weather was gorgeous for most of the time they were here. So we of course headed to the Zoo on Friday afternoon. Riding the carousel with Mr. Ryan.

Lila was along for the ride this weekend. She did soooooooo good. Honestly, she is content most of the time. Not much to complain about when you are this cute!

I wish whatever was making the reflection on Scott's face wasn't there, but it was such a good picture I had to include it.

Listening to the Zoo keeper talking about leopard skin.

My boys!

The lovely ladies outside the giraffe exhibit.

On Saturday, we visited the brewery. Poor Nate was battling an ear infection. I think he has only had 3 ear infections in his whole life and not one in 3 years. Thankfully our doctor's office is open on Saturday.

Sweet Lila Lou's first visit to the brewery when she was awake! How many 3 month olds can say they have visited the brewery twice?? I could be embarrassed about that, but I'm not. :)

Another shot of cooperative Nate and sweet Quinn!

Another fabulous visit for the history books. We are so appreciative that the Pooleys made the long trip to come see us! I'm so glad the weather was good to give them a break from the winter. Hopefully the groundhog was right and Spring is right around the corner!!

Oh, and one to close the post. She really can't get any sweeter if I do say so myself.
