Aunt Katie's going to be a Mommy!!!!!!!

Our Aunt Katie is pregnant and we are so excited!!!!!!  Little baby Lucy is due July 5th.  We know that Aunt Katie & Uncle Trey are going to be excellent parents due to the practice they have had with Ava & Bryce the past 19 months.  We also added several pictures below to prove it!! 

Congrats, Katie & Trey, we love you and are praying for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we went to Aunt Katie & Uncle Trey's for Thanksgiving.  We had a great time playing, eating, and going to see Christmas lights.  We love going to Mt. Pleasant to visit and are already looking forward to our summer vacation there next year (Thanks, Papa!!)  For some reason we didn't take any family pictures, but as usual I got plenty of shots of the girls.

We have much to be thankful for this year and we hope that you all had as wonderful time with family and friends as we did!!

Thanksgiving Playdate

Due to the death of Playtime Toddler we have had to move our playdates to our houses.  Our first home playdate was at our house.  We had a thanksgiving feast, made hand print turkeys, and played until naptime!!  We had a great, crazy time and we can hardly wait until the next playdate.  Thanks, Miss Deanna, for bringing the supplies and helping us with our hand print turkeys.  They turned out so well and I will treasure them forever!!  We missed both of our Emma's and hope that y'all will be home soon..........

"Quadruple Trouble" at the farm

Today we went to Mimi & Papa's farm for the afternoon.  We went to visit some of our cousins who just happen to be twins too!!  Lucas & Gabriel came to visit their grandparents and we had a playdate.  We played outside on our play gym, fed the horses & cows, and finally came inside to play with toys.  It was a busy day.  I don't know who was more tired that night, Ava & Bryce or Papa & Mimi!!  We are so glad that we got to spend some time with Lucas & Gabriel.  I know that we will have many more years of playtime with all the cousins.  It is such an answered prayer to have all the babies together, much less 2 sets of twins in our family!!!!!!!

A morning at the waterfront park

With Playtime Toddler being closed our playgroup decided to head to the waterfront park for some outdoor fun.  It is quite the challenge to help both girls when Ava wants to swing the whole time and Brycie wants to climb on everything.  I really need Inspector Gadget arms to help both of them!!!!!  Luckily, Miss Stephanie helped push Ava and Miss Nicole kept an eye on Brycie while I went back and forth.  We had a great time and enjoyed the warm weather.

Honoring ASU

In honor of Appalachian's impressive win over Wofford (ASU-70  Wofford-24)  Jonathan decided to dress the girls and himself in ASU wear.  Too bad our football luck with ASU didn't carry over to the Georgia Bulldogs the next day!!

 

 Thanks for the shirts, "Aunt" Mary and "Uncle" Joe!!!

Our little scholars getting ready for ASU!!

Enough of the books, it's time to go shopping!!!!!!! (You think they take after their mother??)
