Birthdays, Birthdays, and another Birth!

And so, here I am, nearly a year since my last post! There is much catching up to do! We survived Christmas and birthday season once again, and in May found out that we were expecting! We will have another little girl sometime around Christmas, although my due date is January 1. We are thrilled for our growing family.  We took the girls to see a special 4-D ultrasound of the baby last week, and that was really special. She will be here before we know it!
Ellie started Kindergarten this fall, and that has been quite an adjustment. It seems like I am busier than ever before. I am the "room mom" for Ellie's class until the baby comes, and I will pass the torch to another busy mom in her class.  It has been lots of fun!
It is time to post birthday pictures again, so I am including Alex and Anne Barrett's birthday pictures. They have grown so much since last year! Ellie has lost two teeth, so her smile is a little different. Hopefully I will have time to post pictures of Ellie's party before the baby comes. We'll see!

Anne Barrett's 3rd Birthday

So...I'm still catching up on the fall activities and all the birthdays. We celebrated Anne Barrett's 3rd birthday on October 17. I can't believe how big she is getting! She LOVES Minnie Mouse, so we had a "Minnie" party, complete with mouse ears. She had so much fun with her friends. We had an informal gathering in the back yard and just let them all play. All the grandparents were in attendance as well. We love our Annie! Here is a slideshow of her birthday party and a few from Halloween. Stay tuned for Christmas and Ellie's birthday, coming up soon!

Another Year, Another House, and Birthdays

Well, it has now been over a year since I last posted to my blog. I can't believe how time has flown! Alex is now 14 months old, walking, and trying to talk. We have moved into a new house and had two birthday parties, with another one coming soon. Our sweet baby girl Alex has brought us so much joy this year! She is tiny, but full of energy and curiosity. She is very smart and independent. Her favorite word right now is "down," which means, "put me down, I want to run around!" In February we moved into a new house that has lots of room for us to grow. We have a playroom and an extra tv room upstairs. It will be great for entertaining when we get some more furniture:) The back yard is big and flat, so it is perfect for the kids. Our neighborhood also sits along Lake Tuscaloosa, so we had to do like the neighbors and get a golf cart so that we could ride it down to the lake. There is a playground and a community dock down the street. It is beautiful! Below is a picture of our new house. We love it!

Here is Alex's 1st birthday party:
