A big bowl of snow...

Amelia has been eating snow all day. In fact - we have a freezer full of it so she can have her snow sundaes even after it melts outside.

More snow pics...





January snow...

These were all taken about 7am this morning. We got to wake up to snow on the ground and more still falling. Amelia was more excited about the snow than she was about Christmas.


Even Marianna got to go out and enjoy the snow.

Amelia & Marianna

I'm sorry - but who could resist this beautiful smile???? Oh, by the way... Marianna now calls me grandma....

1-12-08 Panthers Playoff Game

It was a terrible game - but we had fun... rain and all...


1-11-09 Asheville

We met Grandma & Grandpa in Asheville for a night of swimming and fun. Sorry - no pictures of Grandma & Grandpa... but they were there... really... Amelia says THANK YOU for the early brthday presents and the fun we had swimming (even thought the pool was more like a hot tub...)!


Daddy's birthday 1-6-09

Amelia was so excited for Truett to open his present. This was the first gift she had picked out for either of us all on her own. We bought it about 2 weeks before his birthday. It almost killed her not to tell him what it was. She was so proud of it!



In this one she is wearing the "box" that we used to wrap the backpack. She thought that was hilarious...until she tried to sit down with it on and got stuck.

My daredevil

My little daredevil picked out a SKATEBOARD at the consignment store... For now she can only use it on the carpet - but once the weather gets warm again - WATCH OUT!





12-31-08 She almost made it...

She made it to 11:30 but then finally fell asleep...


12-26-08 The fourth day of Christmas
















Back to Christmas....

These are Christmas pictures that I meant to post weeks ago... SORRY for the delay! Yes - it was warm enought Christmas morning to go outside in bare legs and ride the new Big Wheel!


A christmas cookie with Poppie!
