Birthday Girl

Every year, we give Makenzie the choice of having a party for her birthday or taking a special trip of some kind. Some years she chooses a party and several years in between she has chosen a trip here or there. This year, she chose a trip without her sisters....just Mom, Dad, Granny and Pepaw. We let her "play hookie" from school for the day and we went to Houston to the American Girl Doll store. She got a $150 budget and was able to pick out whatever she wanted from the store. She choose several really cute outfits for her doll.

She took a ride on the carousel.



We went to The Aquarium for a special lunch.





We came back to town and visited Nanny in the hospital.

Golden Gator

Makenzie finally received Golden Gator again. She hasn't received the award since Kindergarten and I am so happy that she finally got it again. She was so surprised. She was nominated for being a "gracious gator" who always helps her friends and teachers.

Piper at 3 months old

You were the new addition we never knew we wanted but we're so happy to have! Your personality is starting to take shape. You have the most beautiful eyes and long long eyelashes. Your reflux is terrible, horrible, record setting in a bad way. You are sleeping 3-4 hours at a time at night and you hate the carseat just like Stormie!

Back to Work

After 6 short weeks at home, it was time for Mommy to return to work. I did not have much of a maternity leave this time--most every day was spent answering emails, texts and/or phone calls so really it was a relief to get back to work. Here is Piper the day before her first day of daycare:
