More of Sweet Baby A...

Here are some more of Baby A, my dear friends Chris and Cathy had me to come and stay with them for a day while we were on vacation. The boys enjoyed time alone with Daddy and Aunt Linda. I enjoyed catching up with Cathy and holding Baby A as well as capturing quite a few pictures of this special baby girl. She truly is a miracle baby, meant to be. (I miss her family so)..






Have a great Labor Day weekend..

More from vacation....

J absolutely loves Teddy Bears.. He wanted to take this huge teddy, but B convinced him to take this little teddy bear that he regularly sleeps with anyway. (Of course J is now napping with the Huge Teddy bear).. He carried this teddy bear around just like this..

And here are some of my guys, doing just what they do best..GOOFING around, and all led by the big guy...


Enjoy...

Some vacation photos..

Okay... so first we went to the cabin overlooking Carters Lake. Dan, B, Captain Larry and I went out fishing Sunday morning..

I have WAY too many pictures of my kids doing this very thing..NOW I know and have visible proof to show WHY they do it..


Toby Tyler was even fishing...


Dan was so excited to see this boat out on the water with the sun setting behind hit. They sky was this beautiful color. By the time I made it down to the water the sun was very low..but still made for a nice photograph..
I'll do my best to post more as I get them..

Enjoy..

L's first day of school..

L had his first day of school yesterday. When he woke L wasn't very excited. Then he saw that he a cool SPIDERMAN lunch box and that made him happy. Here he is in front of the house yesterday before we left to take him to school. He did get to ride the school bus home yesterday. You should be able to make out his cute little head in one of the windows..

These 3 are from this morning. His first morning ride on the school bus. Aunt Linda should love that he chose an Atlanta Braves shirt for his second day of school..
And this was the look he gave me when he see the bus rolling down the road towards are stop.

He had a great first day of school. He said he enjoyed playing a game similar to bowling. L also enjoyed recess where he got to swing the entire time. He's going to do just fine I am sure. This morning he woke up and was ready to go quickly. J thinks we should go pick him up from school though, he misses him.

Have a great day... more vacation pictures soon, I promise..

Back from Vacation..

We enjoyed a wonderful vacation to Georgia.. Visited with family and friends.. Stayed with Captain Larry (Uncle Larry) and Aunt Linda. Baby J enjoyed Aunt Linda's company so much he wanted her to come home with us and asked us several times during the trip home to turn around and pick up 'Aunt Inda'.. We always have so much fun when visiting them. This time was no exception. We went to northern Georgia and stayed in a cabin overlooking Carters Lake. Everyone enjoyed a boat ride with Captain Larry. Monday we attended an Atlanta Braves game. Tuesday we kind of had a lazy day.. Wednesday we traveled down to see Baby A and her parents. Thursday we stayed and visited with them some more. Then Friday we went down into Florida and viewed some of the winds from Hurricane Faye. Then back up to Uncle Larry and Aunt Linda's house. We left for home Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the Cumberland Falls area in Kentucky late Saturday and early Sunday. Whew, what a vacation.

So, while visiting Baby A I took some pictures (that's a given, right?)...she's darling and beautiful. Baby A is my dearest friends daughter. It's so sad to have her so far away from us...I am thankful we were able to take this time to go down and see her while she is still so tiny.

So I'll introduce you to Baby A..

Have a great day..it's so nice to be back home, though I'm yearning to be in Georgia around our family and friends there, too.. We miss you all already... Can't wait to visit again..

Will update the blog with more pictures of all our activities throughout the week. This is an exciting week.. Little L will be starting school this year. So, look forward to those first day of school pictures soon, too..

I listen to Casting Crowns quite often. So, today I thought I'd share one of my favorites from them...
