Spring is finally here...

...and along with another change of season the McMahon household has stepped into a world of change over the last few months as well.

Cameron joined Landon at preschool about two weeks ago, and even though it has been a big adjustment for our little guy, Landon, on the other hand, has been bursting with pride having his little brother by his side, and seems to love on him every chance he gets.

"The Lettuce Head" opened up a few months ago and business has been picking up to such a degree that we have had to hire new employees as quickly as we are preparing meals. This of course is a good problem to have in the restaurant industry, but nevertheless a stressful one. The boys enjoy spending time at "mommy's shop" and the lady's love when Paul makes his appearance behind the counter to fill in some extra hours for me. Opening up the restaurant has been such a learning experience, and although it is hard work, we are having a lot of fun with it as well.

We are also very excited to be blessed with another arrival due in August. It's always exciting to feel the first kicks and every pregnancy has been a joy for me, with little to no discomfort, and so also this pregnancy so far. Landon was really happy to know that he'll be having another brother soon.Cameron on the other end, might not be too happy with his spot in the family being bumped a bit, but he is such a loving little man, we doubt he'd mind too much, or at least not for too long.

It has almost been a year since we moved to Raleigh and we are still in awe of how fortunate we are to live here and have such wonderful friends and neighbors.

For now, I hope that the first days and weeks of spring bring as many new and refreshing changes to all our wonderful friends and family's lives as it has to ours here in the McMahon home....till next time

This is such an amazing story! I saw this the first time it aired then again on my daily devotional this morning and decided I just had to share it! Check out this amazing story of one North Carolina Family! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKRhtnwjPuo

A little family update....

Cameron is 10 months old already and in only two more months we'll be having a big birthday bash for the boys to celebrate their 1st and 3rd birthdays respectively. Very exciting, can't believe time is flying by so fast and our little guys are growing up so quickly. The summer is almost over and Landon will start school again. Cameron is working on his walking and will soon have his 7th and 8th tooth which will officially entitle him to eat big boy food. He already thinks he's a big boy and Landon is forced to share his sippy cups with him :0) Landon is a very caring and loving big brother and every day that Cameron gets a lil older the boys have more fun together. All and all, over the last few months we have really settled in nicely, the boys love their new home and have made many new friends. We have wonderful neighbors and couldn't’ have asked for a better place to live. Lots still to do and much more exciting things for the boys to look forward to before the end of the year….Hope everyone is having a sunny summer and getting ready for the leaves to fall soon. Pumpkin picking season is right around the corner and along with the changing of colors we look forward to another season of new and fun things to do…..cheers for now…

Summer Fun

Playing outside, Cameron was chewing on some grass while Landon was burning some energy, running like a wild man. I thought this picture of Cameron was too cute! On that sweet baby face you can't help but notice the piece of evidence still left on his chin. Landon's new dump truck, and the very important luggage he is transporting is hand made and specially ordered from the McMahon household itself!

A lil gardening...

So along with attempting to potty train himself, Landon has picked up yet another valuable skill, getting filthy dirty.....I mean mulching. We're still scrubbing the dirt off him. Needles to say we know what Paul did for Fathers day. Happy Fathers day Honey! We love you and thank you for letting Landon play in the dirt all weekend along with making your gardening job even more tiresome! This is why you are the best Dad in the whole world!

Summer...

Our Sweet Baby Cameron! Sleeping...hmmm...

seems like a common theme in the McMahon

household....

This is the only time you'll ever catch Landon sleeping

in the middle of the day...after a long day at the pool. But then again

who can resist a nice nap in the late afternoon sun anyway?

Landon and I see this little Cardinal every morning in our back yard.

We took the picture from our screened in porch, that might be why

it's a lil hazy...

A lil birdie also made himself a nest in one of the ferns I

hung out on the front porch, so we're anxiously waiting

to see if any babies will arive soon.
