Finally, we get around to posting pictures from the holidays. What a great Christmas we enjoyed with our family and friends. One big highlight was having Blake home. And of course, watching Brantley's joy over all the festivities was so heart-warming. He was the most fascinated with how Santa came down the chimney; it was adorable. In the slideshow you will notice our tacky sweater theme on Christmas Eve. And of course the mustaches and eyebrows had to come out on Christmas Day. Have a tissue handy, these pictures will make you laugh until you cry. After Christmas, our dear friends from Boston came for a few days. We cherished the time we had together and loved how quickly we fell back into our old ways.
In other news, Baby Girl Blair is growing like a weed. We are 30 weeks along this week and feeling very ready for her arrival. I will try to get some belly pictures up soon!

We are overjoyed to be expecting a baby GIRL! What great news!
Here are pictures of our wee little one at just 9 weeks.
She has grown so much since our first ultrasound in September.

She certainly wasn’t being shy

Baby Blair #2 is on the way...
That's right! We are so happy to share our news that Baby Blair #2 is on the way and due April 10, 2012. The baby is doing great and really starting to grow! I'm currently 15 weeks and finally starting to feel back in the land of the living. Ever since I started back to school, the week after our wonderful beach trip, I've been sick. Needless to say, with a 2-year old, a demanding teaching job, and 2 classes, my plate has been very full. I'm so thankful for all the help Price and my family provide. I was sick with a tummy bug a couple weeks ago and it was wonderful that Brantley could stay with my parents while I recovered!
As much as I tend to complain about things, especially when I'm feeling sick, I am happy to have such a life full of challenges. I'm glad I can sit in a graduate education class and discuss ways I can make a difference in kids' lives. I'm glad I work with so many sweet children all day long, even if they are full of germs and mostly misbehave. And I'm the most thankful for a busy, busy 2-year old miracle we call Big B, who has changed my life for the better and made me want to go on this amazing motherhood journey all over again. Life would seem pretty boring otherwise, right? I mean, what was life like before all this craziness? :)
I'll post pictures of our 9-week sonogram soon and a few belly pictures for you.
Happy weekend to all!
Big B, 27 months old

Blanderson Beach Vacation, August 2011
At long last, I find the time to post pictures of our fun beach trip to cap off a great summer! Highlights from the trip include a trip to the aquarium, watching Brantley amuse himself for long lengths of time in the sand, and spending relaxing time with our families. It felt great to be back on the Crystal Coast and sink our toes in the North Carolina sand and spend as much time as possible in the water. Enjoy the pictures....and stay tuned for some exciting news from the Lynchburg Blairs (sorry for the cliffhanger)!

The Big Bopper
Brantley turned 1.5 years old a couple weeks ago! We are amazed how fast our little man is growing. Price and I had a discussion last night that we think B has entered the "terrible two's!" In many ways, I am happy with that. We are lucky to be able to focus solely on him right now and hopefully we can get this stage done and move on :) That's not to say that for every frustration, we don't have many more special moments with him. He continues to be the sweetest boy ever, so caring and loving, and he has such a big heart. He is talking more and more and he understands everything! He can blow his nose in a tissue and knows how to go throw it away in the trash can. He reads all the time and loves making connections with things in his books: if he sees a ladybug, he wants to go find other ladybugs in the house or in other books. He can kick a ball, jump, and loves doing the downward dog yoga position to make you laugh. I continue to feel so blessed to be raising a little boy and motherhood/parenthood is simply: the best journey ever. As a random stranger we passed on the Black Water Creek trail last weekend said, when Brantley was throwing a bit of a fit: "I remember that phase...and you will miss it!" Every moment of this challenging stage is worth remembering!
So, here are Brantley's BIG boy stats from his 18 month checkup:
33 lbs and 35 inches long
WOW!
Enjoy these recent pictures!
Ready to go jogging with Mama!
