The Real Housewife of DC: Life Lately

If you asked me to use one word to describe life lately, it would be BUSY. We have been running around, full-speed ahead since this past weekend and I am loving every minute of all the activity.

On Sunday; Ben, Justin, and Scot returned to our house in the middle of the afternoon after a weekend away camping in West Virginia. Also on Sunday, Caroline turned seven months old

Justin spent the night with us on Sunday night and we enjoyed a nice taco dinner. Monday morning, Ben and Justin were up very early (I think they left the house at 5:20am) and Ben dropped Justin at the airport before he went to work.

Monday and Tuesday were pretty regular days. Ben went to work, the girls and I headed to the gym, and then played and took some pictures. I changed up our dinner menu for the week and we had breakfast for dinner on Monday (instead of Thursday).

While we were at the gym on Tuesday morning, we got the news that Annalise had been born and that mommy and baby were doing great!

Tuesday after the gym

Elizabeth is very into putting her finger on her face and making funny faces.

I don't know why.

Wednesday morning, I got up at 4am and showered and dressed and left the house at 4:35am and headed to the airport.

*Side note- after college I developed a fear of flying, so I was nightmares all Tuesday night about plane crashes

This was my first time flying Southwest and I had a fantastic experience. I will definitely fly with them again.

On the way down to Atlanta, I was second row, isle seat.

Perfect!

I landed in Atlanta at 8am I rode Marta to Midtown where my friend Ben picked me up. He very nicely let me borrow his car all day long (in exchange I bought him breakfast).

We went to Atlanta Breakfast Club and it was fantastic!

I was in the true south so I had to order a good southern breakfast.

After breakfast, I dropped Ben off at his house and I headed to Marietta to meet my new sweet niece and check in on my brother and sister-in-law.

Me, Annalise, and Lolly

Andy and I went to lunch so Lolly could have some quality time with Annalise and her mom. Again, since I was in the south, I needed to get my fried chicken on. So... we went to Zaxby's! I miss Zaxby's so much and I love the Zax sauce... so good. :)

Andy and I enjoying our fried chicken.

Yum!

Around 5:30pm, I said goodbye to Andy, Lolly, and Annalise and headed back to Atlanta to give Ben back his car and catch my flight home. I got to Ben's house early enough that he suggested we grab dinner and we hit up a great bbq place (again, I am in the south). :)
