Babymoon in Savannah!

Savannah was super fun! We spent a nice relaxing 4 days and we didn't want to leave. We stayed at the cutest little bed and breakfast - The Dresser Palmer House. This was our first time staying at a B&B and we loved it! It was so personal and cute and I loved all the history and character. We had all the privacy we wanted but still had intimate breakfasts with lots of personal touches. There was an "honor bar" that stayed open all night and Aus loved that. I loved the different homemade breakfasts each morning and the wine and cheese parties at night, minus the wine.  Anyone staying in Savannah I would definitely recommend it! 











We spent our days walking around, shopping, hanging by the river and EATING! ha. We did some eating! I think my favorite restaurant was The Olde Pink House, where we both had crab stuffed grouper...amazing! 


We also loved the Savannah Honey store! We went in several times and brought home honey and a big piece of honey comb. Sooooo good! 

Sitting on the Forrest Gump bench! 



Had to get our crab leg fix!!






One day we took a little ride over to Tybee Island to walk on the beach and walk around the city. Always love seeing the ocean! We hung out on the pier for a while and just chilled, the weather was awesome! 





Aus had to get his night time bridge shots. He is such an amazing photographer! 


And we took a few maternity photos out at the Wormsloe Plantation...you might recognize it from a Forrest Gump scene! Run Forrest, Run! :)


 I will post the maternity pics soon! 

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

And we keep truckin' on...

We are alive and well in The Green house! I have been neglecting my blog lately...per the usual, right? ;)

Just wanted to write a quick update...Austin continues to do well and is working 3-4 days a week now. His surgical pain is pretty much completely gone but he does have some lower back pain occasionally that requires him to take pain meds. He is eating well, gaining weight, driving all around and pretty much 95% back to normal. He is even getting in the pool and the lake! Not even 6 weeks post-op...WOW! I am back to work, mostly working 2 days a week and trying to keep up with all the WPP work since Aus has been out of commission. We are managing and still enjoying our summer as we should! We went to SML this past weekend to celebrate the 4th of July and had tons of fun with all the sibs. And let me tell you, we put on one heck of a firework show, too.

We have our next doctor appt on Tuesday (17th) where they will do a PET scan to see how well Austin's liver has grown back and map out his anatomy for potential radiation therapy. They should tell us a definite plan on Tuesday but we feel pretty confident radiation will be in our future. And we are ok with this.

I made these cake balls to take up to the lake...they were DELISH and so easy. Leila and I made some for our Christmas party last year after trying to attempt something that resembled a cupcake. Whenever you fail at your cake baking or decorating, no worries, just turn it into cake balls! I made these super easy...baked a cake, crumbled it up, added in a tub of icing (normally I would make the icing but I was in a hurry) and then rolled it and formed the balls. Froze them a bit and then covered them in white chocolate (dyed that red and blue). Easy breezy!

Abi jumping in...loving SML!



Our water dog that needs a life jacket... :(

How cute is this suit!!?!?...and those knees!!

Say whaaaaaat Uncle Aus?

Chillin with Panama Jack!

Yo. Laiiiiid back.  
Sweet little nap. Love them!



Katie brought her two kiddos up on Tuesday and we spent the day at the pool. Complete with a pizza party!!



 Aaaaaaand I leave you with last nights dinner...feta burgers and caprese salad...nom nom nom.

Going back...


...to the Greenbrier!! Aus and I are headed to Clif and Kimmy's wedding at the Greenbrier this weekend and I am SO excited. SO ready for a break and some serious party time!! We are headed to the lake tomorrow afternoon to stay a quick night with Aus' parents and then we will wake up Sat AM and drive to WV. I will be sure to post lots of pics when I return!! Here is one from our trip last summer that Aus took. 



 Last weekend Abi was here and we had some serious fun. The weather was kinda crappy so we opted out of going to the beach. We took her to Frankie's Fun Park for a few hours so she could play bumper boat, laser tag, sky walk and arcade it up for a bit. She had a fun time...and so did we! 



We watched the new Footloose Saturday night and it was SO good. I highly recommend it. I loved it, Abi loved and Austin even loved it! Go check it out...right now...seriously! 


I've almost finished two weeks of Body by Vi. I feel so much better already and I've lost 5 lbs! Wahoo! I hope to stick to it for the full 90 days. It's going to be a challenge for sure! I got this cute little blender to make my shakes at work. I love it and the top is a lid you drink out of so I drink it right out of there. Lovely. :)
Trying to eat lots of healthy dinners. We've had grilled chicken the past 8 nights out of 10! whoa!


My other meal...when Aus wasn't here to grill.  haha


I even got in a visit with sweet Claudia this week! She is so cute! I love going to Danville to visit my girls. I only wish they lived closer. I guess an hour away isn't too bad, though. :)



I'm headed to bed. Busy day tomorrow...gotta take Molly to the boarder, hair cut then hair color appointment (yes, two different places) eye brow wax, mani and pedi, run by the mall, then home to pack for the weekend. Suuuuper excited!!!!
