Happy birthday, Daddy!

We spend this past weekend celebrating Carlton. Fortunately for him it was a long weekend so the celebration went on and on!
First stop: the Arboretum. We enjoyed a picnic and walk around the Arboretum on one of the most beautiful days I've ever seen!
Connor loved the flowers. Here he is working on being "gentle" with them.
Birthday gift from the boys: free wrestling match. This Daddy has his hands full!
Robert has really been into the camera of late and we finally caved in and let him take a shot -- not too bad for a beginner, huh??
Next stop: Princeton, NJ with the Manleys - some of our favorite friends from Dallas!
Disclaimer: there will be significantly more pictures of "the parents" in this post than usual. Carlton and I were a little nostalgic about visiting the place where we first met and fell in love! This is the courtyard where he picked me up for our first date!!
Another GORGEOUS day! The entire weekend was incredible!
Connor's favorite part: the steps. He's become very predictable...
Robert loved riding the tiger.
And the rest of the family did too...
This is Carlton's old "eating club." Many dates took place here, too! :)
This is not a joke...my college friends will appreciate the reference!
And back to the site of his proposal - the Princeton battlefield. We continually remarked throughout the day that we never thought we'd be coming back here with two little guys in tow! While they cared very little about anything but the stairs, tiger statues and snacks, we had so much fun!

Love seeing you back at the old stomping grounds! And with two adorable boys in tow--who would have known?! What a blessing, all around. Can't wait to "bump" into you on purpose on the east coast. Really can't wait!!
