Hodges Hysteria: The Knightons came to town!!

This weekend our friends the Knightons came to visit. We both lived in Tupelo and luckily have kept in touch since we moved here over 4 years ago. They have since moved to Oxford MS and we have children 3 months apart. Cole and Cohen their little boy actually share a birthday and we have seen them in Oxford, but since he was born, they have not gotten up here. So we were excited to have them, but man things have changed since the last time they were here. No more childless late nights in Nashville...more like early to bed and early to rise! But, we had a great time and not that they are 13 months and 16 months they can play so well. Meg was very jealous when we held Cohen and when he played with certain toys, especially her pony.

Friday night we stayed around the house and I cooked homemade fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and shrimp (for Cole). Thanks Lauren for the recipe, it was a hit! Oh,yeah and we watched the Bulldogs, and the 3 Rebels even mustered up a little cheer! haha Then Saturday morning we went to breakfast in downtown Franklin at Puckett's and then went to the mall and apparently wore the kids out. We only took 1 stroller and so they were in and out of it and were SO well behaved but exhausted when we got home from all the running around. Then Saturday afternoon the babies napped and Christy and I went to Green Hills to shop a little more and the guys stayed around and watched basketball. Then we got back to watch the Bulldogs win again! Cohen and Meg woke up and ate lots of teddy grahams and then we all got ready. We went out to eat at Ruth's Chris and out brave babysitter Casey came to keep the two of them. We had a wonderfully quiet and delicious dinner. It is so strange to not be tending on a child while eating these days. Then we got home to both kids asleep, which was quite a feat for Casey. We were definitely impressed. Today we played around the house and then were sad to see them go around noon. It was a great visit!

Thanks for my presents!!! I love my new flip flops and pull hippo!
