We are having a very busy weekend! Mark's mom flew in on Friday night, and we've been enjoying all of the activities (and shopping!) that the Azalea Festival has to offer :) Yesterday, we went downtown and looked through all the booths and vendors out for the weekend, and enjoyed a very nice brunch at The Wilmington Tea Room. (Which Mark complained was "too girly" the whole time we were there, even though I asked him 3 times if he wanted to come. His initial response was - "It's food, isn't it?")
This morning, we got up early and went to tour Airlie Gardens. Mark and I had never been there before, and it was really nice!! Then Diana and I went back downtown to make sure we didn't miss any good vendors downtown on the last day of the festival :)
Lily has been busy and active too, and was nice enough to let Nana feel (and see!) her moving around yesterday. I can't believe how much she's grown in just the last 7-8 weeks. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I was complaining that I didn't "look" pregnant, and now I'm looking at these pictures and thinking - "Is my stomach really that big?" And I know it's not getting any smaller at this point!! We have our second childbirth class at the hospital tomorrow night - 2 hours of fun :)
Here are some pictures of our trip to Airlie.
