Memorial Day 2009

We had a fun relaxing Memorial Day weekend. Georgia and Sam had a ball playing in the sprinklers and kiddie pool (and yes, I realize that there are no pictures of Sam on here - someone isn't too keen on having his picture taken these days...) and our friends, Scott, Sarah and Zach came over for homemade French Dip subs, Mississippi Sin dip, and strawberry shortcake. YUMM-O! Good times...

Christmas 2008

We had such a great Christmas this year! This was Georgia's first Christmas to be really be involved (she was only 2 weeks old last year!) and she had a blast! Santa brought Sam a new train table and train set, lots of new movies, some puzzles, a set of Disney movie books, and lots, lots more! Georgia received a ride-on alphabet train, a huge stuffed puppy dog, twin baby dolls, a new tea set, and much more! Santa went a little overboard this year! Unfortunately, Daddy was on call this Christmas, and was gone to the hospital ALL DAY LONG! BOOOOO!!! Thankfully, though, Grammy and Papa, came up to watch the kids open presents and share a delicious Christmas lunch with us. (Poor Daddy and the rest of the surgical staff got to enjoy our leftovers!) With the huge exception of missing Daddy all day, you guys had the best time!

Halloween 2008

We had such a great time on Halloween this year. Sam was a NASA astronaut, and Georgia spent her very first Halloween as a pumpkin. They both looked adorable - if I do say so myself!! The kids (and adults!) enjoyed Madeline and Ella's Halloween party next door, and then we were off to our church's fabulous Fall Festival. There were games, bounce houses and pony rides at every stop, and enough candy to leave Sam on a sugar high for the next few days!! (Mom and Dad have enjoyed their fair share, too!)

Fun on the Fourth

We had a great time swimming at Aunt Wendy and Uncle Jim's this weekend. Looks like we have another "water bug" on our hands. In the last picture, Georgia was "floating" on her back! She would stand up in the water and then just throw her head backwards and kick her feet up and float! It was the funniest thing! And yes, she looked adorable in her little swimshirt and board shorts, but was much happier skinnydipping!

Memorial Day 2008

We spent an enjoyable Memorial Day relaxing with our good friends, Scott and Sarah at their house yesterday. Sam was so excited to get into their pool, but the water was a little on the chilly side, as you can tell by his expressions! Georgia, meanwhile, had a blast playing with their dog, Maggie. She LOVES dogs and just laughed and laughed at theirs. Poor Maggie, she had about all the little kids she could take for one afternoon! Afterwards, Scott cooked out on his new grill - and it was DELICIOUS!! Thanks guys for having us over - it's always a good time when you're hanging out with great friends!

Mother's Day 2008

How blessed I am this Mother's Day to be the mommy of two of the most beautiful children ever. My heart swells with pride. Sam and Georgia, Mommy loves you both and will be forever thankful that God saw me worthy enough to entrust your care to Daddy and I. I've had a lot of jobs in my life but never one as fullfilling as being a "Mama". I love you to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond....

(They both looked so cute in their Sunday clothes this past weekend, but as you can tell one of them was not so keen on having his picture taken, and well, the other one, never stops posing!)
