Merry Christmas everyone!!

Happy 7th Birthday to my baby girl, Ashley Grace!
Her new, cozy robe from her Nana and Papa. Thanks Nana and Papa!

Anna and Ashley had the opportunity to dance for a disabled children's home this Christmas. It was an honor.

Can you find Ashley? She's the one with the biggest head! Ouch!

Ashley and Nana...two peas in a pod. We call Ashley our little Nana because she's so..... cute and pretty! She's all heels, too. haha

Happy 17th Anniversary to the love of my life! Notice Andrew in the window trying to escape. haha!

Happy 3rd Birthday Baby Boy!

Happy Birthday Andrew! For Andrew's birthday, we rode an Amtrak Train to Kissimmee, FL and had lunch in the old downtown area and then rode the train back home. It was really fun! Thanks everyone for coming and making it extra special for Andrew.

Happy 15th Birthday Danae!

Happy 15th Birthday to our precious, oldest girl. Danae, what a beautiful young woman you are growing into, inside and out. We are very proud of you and love you very much. We are so glad you are part of our family...you are a blessing to all of us! We had a family celebration on her actual birthday and this weekend, we are going away to her favorite hotel with friends and family to celebrate Danae style! We love you Danae!

Thanks for helping, Hopey.
Look at those cheeks! (Doesn't Anna looked thrilled?)

Andrew was loving every minute of it...

It's Fall!

We were able to get away and go to the mountains in Blue Ridge, GA last weekend to see the fall leaves before they all fell! It was beautiful! We had a great time as a family and enjoyed the cooler weather. The girls were so cute on Halloween night they set up candy shops in the different rooms and trick or treated to each other's rooms. It's amazing how creative they can be when they have to be. We enjoyed sitting outside by the fire at nights and shopping in downtown Blue Ridge. Andrew LOVED the train and maybe next time we'll get to ride it!

My two favorite boys.

This was the driveway to our cabin! So pretty!

School Triathlon Day!

We had our annual school triathlon and Anna and Ashley did great! They worked so hard and we were so proud of them! Danae and Hope weren't here this year, they are up in Hilton Head with Noelle and her family and friends. We missed them! Here are some pictures of my super atheletes!

September Fun

We've had a fun and busy month. Here's a few pictures of us...I don't mean for this blog to be mostly about Andrew, but he's just so cute! haha Here's Andrew looking like Papa...

Brushing teeth in his cozy PJ's...just so handsome!

Got Milk?

Spikey hair do...

Andrew has been obssessed with car washes lately and this weekend he discovered doing a car wash at home. It probably wasn't the smartest idea for me to introduce this to him since now he's probably going to ask to do it every spare moment he has! Anna and Ashley were great teachers, though. They had fun being soapy, soapy, soapy!!
