Happy Saturday!

LOVE. HER. SMILE!!

Toys, toys and more toys

It’s official! I am working four days a week instead of five.  I still will be full time but now I have a full day, during the week, to spend with our baby girl.  I couldn’t be more excited!  After breakfast, it was time to play.  Kendall has figured out how to pull each and every toy from her basket and I think it is the cutest thing.  Each toy gets a turn and then it’s on to the next one.I tried all my funny noises, holding one of her toys and snapping my fingers but I could not get Kendall to look at the camera.  I had to pretend cough in order for her to look at me and this is the look I got.  Kinda like, “why are you bothering me mom? I’m busy with my toys!” Too cute! I couldn’t hold her interest too long, so back to the toys she went.  I sat back as she played and just smiled.  It makes me so happy knowing I will be able to spend a whole day with her during the work week.  I can’t wait for what is in store for our Thursdays, just me and my girl!

Children’s Museum of the Lowcountry

We headed downtown to celebrate Miss Addison Grace’s 2nd birthday.  It was our first trip to the museum and definitely not our last.  Addison loves the Disney characters so that was the theme of her party.  The cake and decorations did not disappoint.There was so much to see and do, I could hardly catch a party guest holding still long enough to take a picture.  The museum is divided into several different rooms full of adventure and the water room seemed to be the favorite.  As you can see, the water and toys were more interesting then my camera.Allie and Stryker left the water room to find a fun bird and a slide to play on.  Oh, so happy! There was a room especially for toddlers so we made our way there so Kendall could join in the fun!Kendall had a blast playing with the toys and books.  We look forward to taking her back one day so she can run from room to room like the big kids did.  On a side note, Daddy said we could build a bar in our house with a mirror.  Highly unlikely but maybe one day she’ll be in ballet classes. Our baby girl was less than impressed with her Minnie ears, although she did keep them on for quite a while.  She was more intrigued with the Minnie mylar balloon Addison had. I couldn’t resist taking a picture of the artwork below.  It is a Willow Oak tree designed and made completely of rolled paper of all colors.  It took 45 total hours to make. Very unique! Happy birthday Addison! Thank you for letting us come celebrate your special day with you!

Happy 60th Anniversary!

Today, my grandparents have been married 60 years! What a blessing!  Thank you both for being such great role models for our family.  You have shown us all what a marriage is about and how to make it last forever.  The love between the two of you continues to shine through your smiles and actions toward  each other every day.  I wish we could be there to celebrate with you and give you both a big hug and kiss! Thank you for raising such good kids who have raised kids who have raised kids.  It all started with the two of you! Congratulations on 60 years! I am proud to be a part of them! We love you!!Love,

Lindsey, Ryan and Kendall

Happy birthday Daddy

She’s crawling!

Kendall has put two and two together and has figured out the concept of crawling.  She has been rocking and scooting for a few weeks but now she knows how to get from point A to point B without our help.  Sometimes she still has a few unsteady movements and gets tripped up but nothing that holds her back.  She is officially on the move and enjoying every bit of her new skill.  Good job baby girl! We are so proud of you!
