Alvin and Joann's

We had such a great time at Alvin and Joann's farm. This was our first time going. It is the most beautiful place. The kids loved all the animals and the horse and buggy rides. It was such a treat for us.

Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland

We had a fun Halloween or the girls did. Here are the girls in their costumes.

Fall Fun

The girls have been enjoying the fall. Morgan has had several field trips with her class. They have been to a zoo here in Athens, to one of the new firestations, and to a pumpkin patch and hayride. My favorite and Morgan's too was the trip to the firestation. You can see Morgan with her little preschool class.

Kristen and Clay's Wedding

Morgan was a little flower girl in Kristen and Clay's wedding. She had lots of fun in her beautiful dress and playing with all the other girls. Kristen was a beautiful bride and had a lovely wedding!

Well, it looks like Teresa has tagged me. I will do my best.

1.) I should be a health and PE teacher but I am a full time mom and a Research Tech. I still have a passion for sports and health. There is nothing better than being a full time mom. (and nothing harder!!!!)

2.) I fear my girls are growing up way too fast and there is going to come a time when I can no longer hold and snuggle them.

3.) I love just being home with my family. I look forward to the end of the day when Jerry comes home and we enjoy family time.

4.) I have a hard time going to bed if the house is not picked up and the dishes are not done. I love organization. That is hard to come by these days. I run myself to death. Ray Woods told me last night that I did not have to go to the gym. I had a 1 year old. (After watching me wrestle with Claire all meeting long.) Try a 3 year old and a 1 year old! whew.

5.) Jerry and I met at my work. He use to come in the greenhouses and flirt with me. He saved my stuck coke out of the coke machine. Our first date was at the Cracker Barrel. Wow, I think that was my #6 and #7.....

6.) I love to run. I always have. It clears my mind. (I have put that on hold the past 3 years.) One day I am going to make time for me.

7.) My children have made me appreciate and love my parents more everyday.

Morgan's First Day of School!!

Morgan started preschool today for 3 year olds. She was so excited this morning. She woke up before Jerry and me and was ready to start the day. This was the first time that I have left Morgan with strangers. She did not seem to care at all and is ready to go again. She goes every Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 12pm. Claire and I hardly knew what to do with ourselves. We were certainly not use to a quite house!!!

Fun Filled Summer

We have had a great summer. The girls have enjoyed lots of time outside this summer. We have enjoyed getting them out and letting them run, play and of course get wet. We have stayed so busy that as you can see there has been little time for me to update my blog.
We went to St. George Island on a week family vacation this past June. We really loved it there and are planning on going again next summer. Our friends from New Zealand came to visit and we all went to Sea World and The Magic Kingdom in Orlando in August. It was a great trip for us. We stayed for 4 nights. The kids loved every bit of it and Jerry and I suprisingly did too. The last month or so we have spent several weekends at Lake Russell enjoying swimming and skiing. Morgan has enjoyed "skiing". I need to get some pictures of that to post. (She likes to call tubing - skiing.) The girls have grown so much this summer. They love playing with each other. I love watching them become the best of friends.

Mother's Day

We had a nice day yesterday. We enjoyed being at Nan and Dale's for lunch. Donna and Lyle were so sweet to cook for us. What a treat! We then relaxed at home for a little while and went to my mom and dad's for supper. I only have a few pictures to share. The girls are at a very difficult age to get pictures right now. Morgan's idea of smiling is to open her mouth and show you her tongue and Claire just gets mad after a couple of tries.

She's going!!!

Claire has been walking on and off for the last few weeks but today she has been walking everywhere. She is very proud of herself. Morgan is excited about it too.

Rodeo

We had a fun filled weekend with Claire's birthday and going to the rodeo Friday night. We left Claire at Granna's house and took Morgan to the Rodeo here in town. She loved it. We all had lots of fun. When we got there we discovered there was a pony ride. Morgan loves horses and loves the merry-go-round at the Mall of Georgia. Sooo. This was a big deal to her and to us too of course.
