Bittersweeeeeeeeeet Ending

**Turn up your volume!**

This was the best 26th birthday...maybe the best birthday ever!!! (I'm having a hard time remembering previous birthdays...guess I really am getting old!)

My birthday was on Friday and I've been celebrating ever since! It was a blast!!!!!! The weekend was filled with great friends, family, food, dessert, and memories! (Hope I can remember this one next year)

Since it was a nonstop party, I am POOPED! I'm ready for Monday. I will be spending tomorrow unloading, unpacking, reorganizing, cleaning, prioritizing for the week, etc.

I will elaborate later on the details of weekend, but I'm too tired right now. I'm on my way to bed at this early hour, but wanted to leave a quick note before calling it a weekend.

Praying for more wisdom, personal growth, and opportunities to invest in the lives of others this year. Happy birthday to me and thanks to the MANY that made it so fantastic!

Babies, Kisses, & the Shower

Three big girl activites here....caring for baby, kissing baby, and hanging out in my shower!

~This is our life!~

Another Christmas Recap Interjection

In my pOOOOOped post, I filled you in on the crazy events of that time. Here are a few pics from the girls' visit. Here I am being a working mom with three girls...under four...who does that???? D-U-M-B!! You can't tell, but I am certain I was on my way to Starbucks for a cafe mocha extra whip and a blueberry muffin. A little reward for beginning the day! :)


LOVE these girls! I also videoed/interviewed them during this bath time. OH, the future memories of watching old videos!

Expect More Action

Dear followers and visitors,
The photos above are just sampling of the reason why you will see more action shots and less posed shots. In the last several months, Reagan has discovered that she can "see things" on the back of the camera. So now when she sees a camera, she does one of two things. Either one, runs toward the camera to see or two, evades the photo opportunity at all cost (i.e. hides, ducks, looks away, etc.). Just a heads up!
Sincerely,
Happy Family at River Bank Way

Preparing for the holidays

Thanksgiving was over....preparing for Christmas!

It was so different this year. Rea was barely sitting up last year and now she's a wild women. As you can see below, she loves to "help" and be right in the middle of things. She is so inquisitive.

Also, the tree stand you see below is for a 5-6 foot tree. We chose a beautiful 7-8 foot tree which led to great times and even better memories when we tried to put that sucker up...again and again. :)

Who says cars are for boys?!? I had this garage and car set at the house from my classroom at church. Rea loved it! I love the way Jon would make sound effects when they played. I hope she grows up with at least a few good sound effects for a chick.

We had a great season supporting our Florida Gators. We watched the SEC championship game somberly at home. Regardless, Rea was as cute as ever in her Gator gear from Papa and Mimi. (Early Christmas gifts)

Helping Outside

38 degrees outisde as I sit in super warm and cozy pants.

Memories...playing outside...tank tops and skirts....one day we will have it again!
