Jane's Showers

So Baby Jane arrived on November 4th and I will post the pics from that soon.. but first I wanted to document how we prepared for her! My sweet friends in Montgomery gave me a LOVELY shower.  Like it was my first baby!!

The Hostess

And I celebrated in Birmingham with some of my close friends as well.
I am so blessed by all of these friendships.

October

We celebrated Henry's 7th Birthday... this is the best pic I could get:)

I went with Mary Clark's class to the Pumpkin Patch.  She had so much fun!

The "Butterflies" of the Ascension Day School.  Love this little group and their sweet teachers.

Halloween.. meet Strawberry Shortcake.  She wouldn't agree to many pics this year:)

End of Summer and Early Fall



Well summer is over and fall is here.. well kind of! We took a late August trip to the beach and saw our cousins. Brien and Jake! Aunt Rachel was there too.





We love to pose lately.. it honestly cracks me up.





First Day of 3K! She is a "Butterfly" this year.  Ms. Sunny and Mrs. Jessica are her teachers.  She loves them.




I was trying to get some cute pics in Nana and Pee Pie's back  yard but she would NOT cooperate. So stubborn!





A fun birthday party at the pumkin patch. Another trip coming up with our class at school. I am hoping to chaperone and get some more pics of Mary Clark and her sweet friends.



Summer So Far!!



We've had a busy summer so far.  Started off by a Memorial Day Weekend trip to the beach with two of our favorite boys!



Father's Day

We had a "Half Birthday" party for our neighborhood friends.  We shared it with our cousin Adeline who is also a winter birthday.  The kids had a blast.

The two "half" birthday girls!

And a RAINY 4th of July!!

What Mary C has been up to....

So for once I am not going to post only pictures with no captions :). Selfishly I just love to go back and look at our sweet girl and I can remember each moment.  However I thought I would jot down a few things about her right now so I can remember them when my memory fails.. which I know one day it will!

-We call you Mary C, and you think it's so cute
-You are super shy at first but once you are comfortable you talk constantly and love to dance in the mirror and sing.
-You took your first ballet class last week and I don't ever think I have seen you smile so bright.
-You are taking swim lessons this week and per the teacher are doing great, right where you should be.
-You want to swim every afternoon, usually Daddy gets that job.
-You love squeeze yogurt, cheese, "nanas", steak (which is anything Daddy grills) and ANYTHING SWEET! You are just like your Daddy. If we go to a relative's house you open their freezer on your own looking for ice cream. You will ask every adult there until you get a yes.
-You LOVE Henry, constantly kissing him and hugging him.
-You ask "Why" constantly, your Aunt Minnie tried to give it back to you and you told her to "Stop saying why so much!" Doesn't surprise me you are pretty sassy most of the time.
-You went to VBS for the first time and LOVED it!
-You spent 2 nights away from home with Nana and Peepie and did great.
-You love all things girly including dolls, make up and princess dresses.
-Right now you are a Mommy's girl and love to sit with me on the sofa and watch a movie or play a game.
-You are grumpy in the morning and tell me "I am trying to sleep!"  I think you get that from me.  You sleep from 9pm-7:30am and 2pm-5pm in the afternoon.. you are a great sleeper.. THANK YOU!
You are such a blessing and I feel so lucky to be your Mommy!
