Sisters Share

Our girls share everything...








...sisters are so much fun!

Proud Daddy!

Uncle Danny is so proud and he should be. Meredith is absolutely perfect!!! Here is a picture of her with her first bow. We were sad to say goodbye to her tonight but can't wait to see her grow. Gracie wants her to play!



On another note, were rushing around yesterday trying to get out of Dallas. Gracie said "hurry mommy, someone needs to be there to catch Meredith when she falls out. We better hurry!"

We are so proud of Aunt A too. She is an amazing Mommy!

Meredith Ann

We welcomed our cousin into the world tonight. She is adorable!!!! The girls are so excited to have a new cousin.


8lbs 20 inches

Life with a 2 year old

Life with a 2 year old goes something like this:

"Mommy hurry, I need to go potty! Get my stool." (Gracie is standing in the bathroom with her panties around her ankles.)
"I took it to the kitchen to feed Dora."(our fish) I tell her no and I will lift her up. She says,"no I can do it by myself!" I run to get the stool and she has an accident all over the floor.

Stubborn 2 year olds are so much fun. She is into doing everything herself these days. At least she is pretty good at picking out matching clothes!

Mommy, Caroline has 4 teeth

Well, after a night of screaming Caroline's 4 tooth broke through the gums around 5 this morning. It didn't help that she got her flu shot last night too. Poor thing!!! Since these are the hardest teeth to break through, we are in for smooth sailing from here on. Gracie is so excited she has 4 teeth instead of 3 and loves to show everyone!

Ballet Class Begins

Today was the first day and Gracie was excited!!!! She couldn't wait to tell me goodbye at the studio. Her two friends Mattea and McKenzie are taking it with her.


Gracie, Mattea and McKenzie

Miss Bessie had the girls line up against the wall and put their own shoes on. She has 7 girls in her class.

Gracie came home with a full report...they didn't spin but did tippy toes, they did jumping with bunny ears, Kyle cried the whole time for her mommy, they will do tap next time and she likes her new friends in her class.


We can't wait until her first recital Dec 15!

Caroline 10 months

I have found Caroline in the funniest places lately. Gracie was never a climber and I only had to tell her "no" once. NOT Caroline. Her favorite place to climb is on the dishwasher. She loves to climb up on the door when it is open and hang out. She has also gotten brave enough to stand on the door and push and pull the top rack out. She thinks this is hilarious! I have also found her in the doll strollers, her car seat, on step stools and on top of the toilet. I can't imagine where I will find her next. Also unlike Gracie she doesn't mind being dirty and is quick to try anything. Sweet Caroline has finally found her appetite so we hope she will pack on some pounds soon. Her favorite thing to do is play with her babies. She pushes them all over the house in her stroller, feeds them, burps them and loves to give them kisses. She has also picked up a bunch of words lately. Mama, Dada, Ba for bottle, mo for more, mil for milk and bae for baby. She loves to play patty cake, peek a boo and so big. Watching her do the motions is so cute. She hides under the coffee table and pops up to play peek a boo about a thousand times. She cracks herself up all the time, but also has a serious side when she is trying to figure something out. She watches everything we do like she will be quizzed on it. It is hard to believe she is almost a year old. We love you sweet Caroline!

Ballet!!!

Today was meet your teacher and buy your dance stuff at the dance studio where Gracie is taking dance class. She had a ball getting all her stuff. When they put her tap shoes on she just beamed and tapped all over the studio. She had to have her ballet skirt too. Here a few pictures. She starts Wed morning and is so excited!





Loving her tap shoes!





Proud of her new ballet clothes...she came home and wanted to put them on right away!

Praying for Rain

Gracie asked her Daddy who made the rain. He went on to tell her that God did so the plants and animals would have a drink. She told him she wanted it to rain hard so he told her to pray. She stood up folded her hands and said "Dear Jesus, please make it rain hard." She stood there with her eyes closed and hands folded for a minute. She looked at Daddy and said,"He said no" and returned to playing. It made us laugh!
