First trip to Maryland!

Off to see those crazy Hatchards!! Hudson and William with Daddy (Warren Hatchard!)


In honor of Mother's Day, we took the boys to Annapolis for their first visit to Nonna and Grandpa's house! We went up Friday and back Saturday, but we were able to visit with a lot of the Hatchard family, and we had a great time! The boys loved meeting everyone! Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Hatchard family picture:
Back row: Aunt Courtney, Dave, Leslie, Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Phil, Cousin Taylor (expecting baby cousin in November! Hoorah!!), Cousin Josh, Cousin Steve, and Cousin Jenny
Front/Middle Row: Hatch with Hudson, GiGi, Shannon with Will, Cousin Maggie, and Cousin Jeffrey (Will and Hudson couldn't take their eyes off the leaves blowing over to our right!!)

Meeting the cousins:

Happy Mother's Day to Nonna!

Rainy Day Relocation!

After several rainy days, the babies and I decided to relocate to Charlottesville for an afternoon! We swung by for a quick visit with Courtney and Ann Thompson, and then we set up shop for feedings, playtime, and afternoon naps and Meghan and Molly's house.

I think that these two pictures are hilarious . . . check out Molly watching Will:


And her sweet response!


Hudson was just intent on looking at Molly's dad, Greg . . . so sweet!

CINCO MESES!

Well, we can't believe it, but our boys turned 5 months old on Saturday! It is wild how time flies!

Here they are as newborns . . . (hudson and william)


And, here they are 5 months later . . . (hudson and william)


Here are a few more for your viewing pleasure! (hudson, very serious, and will, doing is new trick of pulling his legs up to his chest!)



Here are the boys "Looking Chubby"


Babbling away!

Fun in the Sun!

We've been hanging out around the house a lot this week in order to try to get back into our napping routine . . . and, we've also had some fun laying on blankets in our front yard between naps and meals! Here are a few pictures for you!

Swinging outside (another great reason for the small swing--it's portable!) Will (think his hat may be a tad small?)


A visit from sweet Lucy (3) our neighbor!

This is the sight Bumpa stumbled upon when he came for a lunchtime visit . . . Mama and her boys (Hudson, on leg, and Will)

I forgot to put these pictures up last week and wanted to share them with y'all. Our friends Daley and Harper and Harper's grandmother, BB, got these sweet outfits for the boys when they were born! Thinking ahead, Daley got the 6 mo size for Will and the 12 mo for Hudson!! :) Both babies were SO tired when I took these pictures, and Will was audibly mad at me the entire time!


Will and Hudson


From head to toe!


This next picture makes me laugh because it is such a "day in the life" type of picture for us! Will screaming (cute little hornet!) and Hudson talking away and wishing he were eating!

Photoshoot!

Our little rascals have been off schedule a bit . . . so, while we've waited for one baby to wake up (or, rather, let him sleep as he should be doing), I've tried to take a few pictures of the early-bird baby! Here are some of my favorites from our little photoshoot last week:

HUDSON

smiles!


trying to roll!

these last two, of tummy time, are my favorites!


WILLIAM
