What we've been up to lately...

So, here is a quick recap of what we've been up to since we moved to Charlotte in June.


 Josh started his internship as an investment banker on June 1st.   Here he is leaving for his first day of work.

And Rex is imitating Dad


Since we don't see much of Josh, I took Rex to Missouri to spend the weekend with my siblings and their kids.  We stayed at my parent's house despite the fact they aren't there (they are in SLC on a mission). Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us use your house.  We promise we left it looking like it did when we got there :)


Claire and Rex helped me make a treat.  


We played at the pool



And we got a babysitter one night so we could all go out to an adult dinner and a movie

Then when I got back from Missouri Grandma Melanie came out to visit for July 4th weekend and we loved having her here.



We found a nice little spot to watch the fireworks.  Please don't judge me by my child's outfit.  We weren't sure the fireworks were going to happen because it had rained and Rex was already in his PJ's when we left the house.  Since it was cool he needed a jacket and this was the only one we brought with us to Charlotte.  Good thing it was dark out there!



We are really enjoying our time in Charlotte despite the fact we never see Josh.  He works CRAZY hours.  He's gone M-F from 9am-11pm (sometimes later...sometimes 3am) and works Saturday and Sunday afternoons.  Needless to say, Rex and I are getting really sick of each other!  4 more weeks and we'll be back to student life in Durham, ahhhh.

So Eric is working like half the hours that Josh is and I still can't wait to get back to Durham. And I recognize that naughty little treat you were making...
You're looking good by the way--I don't know how with all that baking you're doing, but something is working! :)

I'm glad you didn't write "we got a babysitter so we all could go to an adult movie and dinner" hahaha I bet you thought of that as you typed it
