Happy Birthday, Milly!

We had a great time celebrating Milly Addison's second birthday last Saturday. Her party was at Flip Flop Gymnastics-we have never been, but all the kids LOVED it! We are thinking about enrolling John in a class next year, just for fun with movement and exercise. Here's a few photos from the day! The ball pit was a big hit!
The sweet birthday girl!
Elizabeth loved being able to walk around and play on the mats.

Pig Twigs!

I can't believe Elizabeth has enough hair now for pigtails, or pig twigs as we call them! After months of trying to get a bow to stay in, and wearing bonnets, we now have hair we can actually style. :) We need to grow a little more, but it's a start!
Happy February!

Happy Birthday, George!

We had a big time yesterday morning celebrating George Menetre's 3rd birthday! His party was at Fire Station #3, and everyone had so much fun. John loved walking through the fire truck, checking out the controls and high-fiving the firemen. It was a great day (and I can't believe these babies are turning THREE this year! Weren't they just born?!)This sweet girl sat in her stroller most of the time-she was SO good! The sweet birthday boy, George. This is the best photo I could get of him...three year olds are busy! John kept pointing to the side of the truck saying "A three, a three!" Yummy!We learned that firemen are our friends who help us! John loved giving them "knuckles!"

The Older Sister I Never Had

My family has a lot of members-but thankfully, we are close, and extended family doesn't feel extended at all. I am an only child, so my cousins were always like my brothers and sisters. My cousin Leigh is definitely like my older sister. We have always been close, and been through a lot together. I am posting about her today because I would LOVE for her to find a new friendship (or maybe more???) through Kelly's Korner's Show Us Your Life-Singles Over 40 edition. Leigh lives in Clarksdale, MS has taught elementary school for 23 years. She is currently working on her National Boards. Leigh is 43 years old. Her boys, Coleman and Miller, are her life. Coleman is a freshman at Mississippi State University and Miller is a sophomore at Lee Academy in Clarksdale. When Leigh is not busy with her boys and all of their activities (college and high school life, and pretty much all sports-especially FOOTBALL!) she is involved in her church, Oakhurst Baptist. This is a picture of Leigh last spring with my daughter, Elizabeth. She is known to my children as Aunt Leigh! If you would like to get in touch with Leigh, just email me at kepannell@hotmail.com or leave a comment. Have a great day!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I love new beginnings of all kinds-what an exciting time! We made this photo last night before Jason and I went to a little NYE party...Elizabeth loved her party attire-John, not so much. We hope you had a great start to 2012!

Also-John and Elizabeth have had a ball with their new toys from Santa! We have cooked and taken care of baby dolls more than I ever thought possible-and loved every minute of it!
