SUMMER- May

 Memorial Day--
Grayson headed off to Mimi's for the week.  Chad and I spent most of our time painting the new porches over the long weekend.
It was just us and the girls...

 We hosted all of the Trammell family at our house! 
We surprised my parents for their 40th wedding anniversary by taking them to a restaurant in Atlanta that they dined at while on their honeymoon!!
While we were all together, we also celebrated Will's 1st birthday and we attempted yet another sleepover with the 3 older cousins...
needless to say, the sleeping together part didn't happen.
Oh well, we will try again at the beach in September!


Cousins...



We are loving our new porches!!  Here is the back porch.  I still need to take some pics of the front.
And yes, my parents did haul their pop up camper and park it in our backyard--it made for extra sleeping quarters--our family is growing quickly!



I love how Will is being "contained" in this basket while opening presents!  He is walking and on the move---very busy little boy!!



This is what the men do in the afternoons when we're all together (must be nice)...
 
And here is the happy couple!  We are all so thankful and have been so blessed by their marriage and the example that they have shown to our family and to many others!
It was such a fun weekend and we are so happy that we were able to host in our home!

Happy Mother's Day to me!









 Our days have been filled with lots of playing, lots of bug catching, and lots of
CRAWLING!!



Looking forward to many more SUMMER days!!!

A Fairy Party- Caroline 3 yrs.


We finally had Caroline's "friends" party.  I actually had planned to have this party last year and it never happened, so we finally got around to it this year---in May!! 
 (We still haven't had Grayson's "friends" party, and I'm pretty sure he won't let me forget!)



We celebrated with a few of the  neighborhood girls.
Fairies and butterflies was our theme.




Caroline was a little shy the whole time and once again, didn't care to blow out candles.





She started to warm up towards the end, especially with the unwrapping of gifts!




Happy Birthday, Sweet Caroline!
Can't believe that you are 3!

AC. 9 months

 Anna Claire is now 9 months!
She figured out crawling in about a week's time, and is now an EXPERT crawler!
It's crazy how things can change SO QUICKLY! Just a few weeks ago, I was pretty sure that she would never figure it out!



We are all pretty much IN LOVE with this baby girl.  She is so HAPPY and CONTENT most of the time.


I am so often OVERWHELMED by her SWEETNESS.

She is so sweet.
 She already says "mama" and "dada".


She's really loving many finger foods  now and she will sit in her seat and eat for a long time.
She still has ZERO teeth.


This is currently one of her FAVORITE toys.  


Time is flying by and I so often just want it to STOP.  But each stage brings about new JOYS.  We just love you, sweet Anna Claire!
