Happy Father's Day!

Andy had a great Father's Day with his very special kiddos. The kids refused to let him sleep him b/c they were so excited to celebrate Father's Day. 

Our "We Love Daddy" frame. 

The kids were also super excited to celebrate with Papa. I think Will's favorite part is playing with Papa's mustache. 

Happy Father's Day to our special guys!! We certainly could not do what we do without all your love and support!

One Step at a Time

Will's latest skill is crawling to the steps and trying to climb up. He has only made it up the first step. This child is such a mover! My days just got more exciting.

Gymnastics Performance

Recently, Emma had her end of the year gymnastics performance. She did a fabulous job showing off all her hard work. We are very proud of her!

Her little class.

So strong on the bars.

Balancing on the beam.

Very excited to get her ribbon and certificate.

My Little Graduate

Our beautiful Emma graduated from her Early Learners Education (ELE) program. We are very proud of all her hard work and goals she as met. She made great strides in this program. ELE will always hold a special place in our heart. Her fabulous teachers worked tremendously hard to help Emma overcome certain hurdles and make great strides. We are all sad to be leaving but pray that kinder will be a great place for Emma.

She wanted to celebrate with a "Cars" cake. 

Blowing out her candle after we sung "Happy Graduation." She was also wondering where her gifts were. She told my folks that she needed presents. Sorry we dropped the ball on that one Emma.

My baby girl is growing up too fast. I really hope this summer goes slow. I am not ready for the next big step in her life. I had a hard time with her starting ELE at the age of 2. This program meant the world for us and did wonders to help Emma improve in her communication and social skills. We still have goals to meet but hope we can do that with our new path.

Emma you truly impress us with all that you continue to do. We will never give up on you and will continue to do everything in our power to help you meet your goals. We love you baby girl!!

Happy 8 Months William Matthew

I feel like Will has changed so much this past month. He is constantly doing new things that sometimes I can't keep up. He really feels like the world is his to discover. I don't mind him discovering as long as he isn't pinching his fingers and putting small items in his mouth. This boy is out to destruct and get in trouble. It is so different than the girls. William is always into something.

William Matthew at 8 months:

- got his first tooth!

- crawls everywhere.

- loves to stand up with the help of our hands.

- learning to eat very small pieces of soft food. Enjoys pear, bananas, and graham crackers.

- figured out how to clap.

- still a tough sleeper. Hoping the summer will help since Emma is done with school.

- LOVES when Abby plays with him. He could giggle all day with her.

- makes raspberries at meal time and loves to make a mess.

- into everything!! I am constantly trying to keep him out of trouble. 

- enjoys rides around the block in his car.

- tolerates the pool but would much rather stay home.

- a fun, giggly little guy that we are head over heals in love with!

Swim Lessons

The girls just wrapped up their Spring session of swim lessons. They had a blast learning their skills. I am so proud of them and all their hard work. They both did amazing.

Abby right before lessons. She started the season off a little shaky but quickly warmed up to swim school.

A video of her showing off her skills.

At the end they got to pick a hat to wear and take a picture with their ribbon. She wanted the construction hat. Too cute!

A video showing off her skills. She decided to channel her gymnastics moves while swimming. When I am not looking this girl can swim but the minute I watch she decides to be goofy. 

Sunday Best

Recently, the girls have been into dressing up with hats, purses, and heals. It reminds me a true Southern Lady going to church on a Sunday morning. All they are missing are some pearls and hand fans.
