Kathryn's First Birthday cont.

We were so glad that Grammie, Poppie and Aunt Priscilla could come and help us celebrate.

A couple of vids....


Kathryn's First Birthday

Kathryn turned one on February 8th. I like to think of her as a little Valentine! She has always been so sweet and mellow. It is such a joy to have her in our lives.

Kathryn with the lamb cake...I would just like to point out that this cake is actually standing up! I'm getting better at this :)

Kathryn taking her first tentative bites.

Kathryn on her actual birthday :-)

I tried to get her to wear the bow...that was a lost cause.

Such a happy girl!

Forgive the order.....

Aunt Priscilla came for a visit in early December and we go to go ride the carousel downtown that dates from the late 1800s.


The girls help with Christmas decorations.


Grandpa and Grandma Elaine came all the way from Chicago for Thanksgiving!

Evelyn Turns Three

We celebrated Evelyn's third birthday with a dress-up party! She loves to dress up!

Kathryn was asleep for most of the party, but she did get to do a little dressing up too!

Evelyn sporting the crown she made (all her friends got to decorate their own crown).

Evelyn with the Dread Pirate Marcus and Mooie Louie (both friends from church).

Evleyn with the girls...Jane and Regan as themselves and Caroline and Ali as Rapunzel and Tinker Bell.

Evelyn's Tower o' Cupcakes.

What a blessing to celebrate Evelyn's third birthday! She is such a gift. We are delighted daily by her energy and curiosity. She asks amazing questions and loves to make new friends. We are so thankful for these past three years and are looking forward to seeing how God will work in her heart and life.

Catching up...again!

Hi from Charlottesville, VA! At the end of October we left Augusta, GA and headed for our new home in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. We got a great deal on a beautiful rental house!

HA! HA!

We have been taking in the sights....Here we are at the Michie Tavern about to enjoy authentic "Midday Fare".

We ended our first week with Trick or Treating on The Grounds at UVA. Notice Kathryn trying to swipe Evelyn's sucker.
