Community School of Davidson...Best School Ever!!!!

We are SO fortunate to have our kids at such an AMAZING school!!  Jack will be in 2nd grade next year (YIKES), Molly in kindergarten (DOUBLE YIKES), and the twins will be at the equally AMAZING preschool (The Children's House) and at CSD 2 years from now!  I couldn't imagine them anywhere else!

9 Years Ago...So Full Of Promise...No Idea 4 Kids Were On The Way!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY SWEETIE!



Sticky Fingers

The girls stay with a nanny on the 2 days a week I work.  Her name is Jordan but they affectionately refer to her as "JoJo."  They adore her and she is able to capture some really great pictures for me.  The other day she sent me these "sticky" pictures of the girls after they finished licking (literally) the syrup off of their plates.

Sophie

Tonight the kids were eating dinner and I was in the office checking e-mail.  Sophie comes walking in with an expectant look on her face and says "more soup."  I said, "You want more soup?"  "No," she replies.  I asked, "What do you need baby?"  ...PAUSE...  "Ummm, chocolate!" 

She's so cute!!!

I Just Adore Him

Today in the car...
Jack - "Mom, do you remember that ambulance we saw yesterday?"
Me - "I do."
Jack - "I said a prayer for the person in it?"
Me - "That's wonderful Jack.  What did you pray."
Jack - "I prayed Dear God, please let that person in the ambulance be okay and please let me be okay."
Me - tears!!!!


Hey There...Let's Catch Up!!

So as many of you know, March is quite busy around here.  All 4 babies birthdays are in this month and so to minimize traveling for family I decided to do all 3 parties in one weekend...crazy I know...but there you go.  My Mom and Daddy, Staci and her 4 kiddos, John's Mom and Dad, and Great Nana all came to visit.  On Saturday morning we had Jack's party.  He wanted a Lego theme and he invited his cousins and his buddies from school.


Aunt Staci. Mal and I all worked on his cake which was actually a stack of rice crispy treats decorated to look like a stack of Legos.



Uncle Mark REALLY came through this year when he got Jack the VERY expensive Lego set he wanted!

Saturday night after dinner we celebrated Sophie and Macy's birthday with a Mickey Mouse cake and ice cream.


They loved the black icing!!

Macy

Sunday morning it was Molly's turn and she wanted a Barbie and the 3 Muskateers party.  She had a movie party with her girlfriends and they watched the movie in our theater beforing having cake and ice cream.  She was quite cranky that day but enjoyed her party and of corse her presents.

As you can expext when we have that many family members around at the same time there is lots of love to go around.  Here are some of my favorite "lovey" pictures from the weekend.


Great Nana love!


Daddy love!


Nana and Buddy love!


Big wet Buddy love!


Grammy love!


Uncle Mark love!


Papa love!

Last week for spring break we loaded our brood up in the Suburban and pulled the camper to Myrtle Beach for the week.  Other than the ABNOXIOUS pollen rendering me incapable of breathing, we had a wonderous time.  We went to the beach, hung around the campground and taught the kids to play 4 square, and thanks to Grammy and Grampy (they have a BEAUTIFUL house 5 miles from the campground) John and I got to spend some nice time alone shopping and such!

John on the phone...sigh!


Jack

Finally, last weekend Jack had his first REAL tennis match.  He played a doubles match which he won 8/3 and a singles match that he won 8/1.  I believe we may be watching him at Wimbledon some day!!




HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEKEND!!!
