Little late posting.......

Well, it has been a while since I have posted anything. We have been rather busy and by the time that I have some time to myself I am ready to go to bed. So here are a few things that we did do the first part of October. We enjoyed the Fiddlers Convention and the cooler weather. I just love this time of year. We decided not to take Abby since it was a little chilly because she had just had her shots the day before and was running a little temp. As for Lillian, she has the best time wherever she goes. Here she is singing with Uncle Guinn.
At Abby's two month check-up she got a clean bill of health with a round of her shots. I think it broke my heart worse with Abby than it did with Lillian getting shots because Abby snubs whenever she finishes crying. She weighed 12 pounds 1 1/2 oz. and was 24 1/4 inches. I am blessed with two healthy girls.

On October 9th I turned 34! I didn't get to do anything special because the weather was so bad but I at least got to be off my birthday without having to take off. I also got to spend some time with my two girls. Can't ask for anything better!

Sisters posing for the camera!

We did go to Huntley's birthday party but I forgot my camera so no pics from that party. Bummer! Lillian had so much fun with Barbie at the party. Abby also went along for her first birthday party to go to with Lillian. She slept just about the whole time. Hope everyone is having a great week!

The Joy of Having a Sister!!

Lillian loves Abby so much! She still is rough with Abby but she does not want anyone to take Abby home. She wants Abby to stay with her and boy does Abby watch Lillian! Abby is watching Lillian more and more and just smiles at her. Lillian just can't wait for Abby to get bigger so that she can play with her. She also has become the biggest helper that mommy could ever ask for. I believe that she will be the biggest protector of her little sister in years to come. I cannot believe that the months are quickly passing by and that it has already been two months since Abby has been born. We go for her check-up on Thursday so I will let you all know how much she has grown. I really can't wait to see how much she definitely weighs. My baby girl loves to eat unlike her sister. Lillian would rather drink chocolate milk all day long than to eat any food. She will definitely have strong bones!
I think that I am caught up for now. Can't wait for the Fiddler's Convention this weekend! Hope the weather is great!!

Happy Birthday James!!

This past Saturday Lillian attended James's birthday party. Lillian had a blast and really didn't want to leave. Hope James's day was a great one!! Here is a picture of the birthday girl, James.

Toys, toys, toys
Lillian loves to help open presents.

Almost finished.............

Happy Anniversary to us!!!

On September the 16th, Chris and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary! My, my how we have changed in 14 years. I am going to go down memory lane for just a little bit. I met Chris my senior year of school around the square. I went to get something to drink with him in his little black Ford Ranger pickup truck and from then on it was a match. It is a little funny because the first time that he called to ask me out I had to tell him that I already had plans which was true but he thought that I didn't want to go out with him. So he almost didn't call back for a second time. At the time we started dating I was 17 and Chris was 22. My mother didn't freak out over the age gap because she knew the family and my sister Robin had finished school with Chris's brother Bryant. Our first date we went to the movies to see "Sleepless in Seattle" and then to Ryan's to eat. After a few months of dating I knew that he was the one that I had been praying for all my life. After a year of dating he proposed to me on September 21, 1994. We then married the following September of 1995. It rained all day on our wedding day. I remember on the way to our honeymoon in Gatlinburg that I started crying because we were lost and we kept going around these 90 degree turns and I just knew that we were going to run off the mountain. Needless to say we made it there safe and sound. As far as celebrating for our anniversary, Robin kept the kids while we slipped off to go and get some dessert because it was on a Wednesday night. Lillian kept wanting to sing happy birthday to us. I hope and pray that Chris and I will have many more years together.
Still more to come.........

Happy Birthday Alivia!!

It has been a while and there has been lots of things going on. About two Saturdays ago, Lillian went to Alivia's birthday party. Alivia is the great niece of our friends Chan and Marla. Of course, Lillian had a marvelous time. So here is Lillian posing with the birthday girl Alivia!

The gator was a big hit with the kids!

Lillian is trying to drive but she is not a good driver!

Jumping is so much fun!
What a great smile for the camera!!

Stay tuned for more to come.................

Playing with Sarah!!

Last night we had company over. Uncle Guinn and Aunt Tammy came by for a little surprise visit and Brian, Dawn, and Sarah Barlow came by to visit. Lillian had so much fun playing with Sarah. Brian and Dawn are on the waiting list with CFS. We hope and pray that they will get a call from Jerry soon!! Maybe they will have a little time to prepare for their baby than we did! You never know when it will be!!!

Lillian and Sarah playing!

We had a great night. After my first week back at work I was really looking forward to the weekend. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!!

Sesame Street Live!!!!

After my long first day back at work on Tuesday, I took Lillian to see Sesame Street Live that night. Leanne and Katie Lee went along for the show also. The show was great but a little long. By the end of it Lillian was telling me that she was tired, but overall it was a great show. We are waiting for a Barney Live show to come to town. If anyone knows of one please let me know.

Lillian and Katie Lee enjoying themselves before the show!

She watched every move that they made.

Abby spent her first night away from home that night with Paw Paw and Maw Maw. Mother was thinking of me....how sweet of her. She knew that it would be late when we got in and she wanted me to get a good night sleep. I'm glad that she offered because I was so tired that I don't even remember my head hitting the pillow. By the way I did survive my first day back!! Can't wait for fall break!!
