Christmas 2010

Well, Christmas was wonderful! We had a great time in Dalton with our families. The girls did great and enjoyed the time with grandparents, the snow, and their new toys. Here are a few pictures of the weekend. Ginny with her new "makeup"...lip gloss. She loves it, but she has a hard time always getting it on her lips.

Was not too sure about the new tricycle at first, but then wanted to try it!

Making cookies for Santa, and then trying them out.

We had a family friend come and take pictures of the girls before Christmas and here are some of the shots he got!

4 Months Old

Today Mary Beth is 4 months old..can't believe how the time has flown. We went to the doctor for a well child check-up and she was well and the doctor said she looked great.

Height 25 1/2 inches (90%)

Weight 14 lbs 11 oz (75%)

We took some pictures in front of the tree last weekend.

Sickness

Well, we have been sick for the last about 10 days...what a start to the Christmas season. Ginny had the flu and then Mary Beth had RSV. Thankfully both girls are feeling better...it has been a long week! We are ready to enjoy some seasonal festivities now. We did get a tree before the girls got sick. Here are a few pictures of the last week. After Santa picture...Ginny still looks in shock. Did not like Santa!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving out at Lake Frances this year. All the cousins loved playing together and I think Ginny really enjoyed herself. She loves "helping" with her sister and baby cousin. We had a lot to be thankful for this year.
Mary Beth playing on William's playmat! Attempting to get a picture of all three cousins...you can see that it did not work. Hard to get all three of them to look at the camera.

The cousins..Katie, Molly, Will, Ginny, Mary Beth, and William.

Gran and Mary Beth

Happy Turkey Day!!

3 Months Old

Ginny got into the blue marker as you can tell. It did not seem to bother her at all. Last week Mary Beth turned 3 months old. She is laughing, smiling, and making noises. Her big sister adores her and has so much fun "playing" with her. Yesterday Ginny said, "You want to come to me, Baby?" and then held out her arms for me to put Mary Beth in her arms.

PINK PIG

Thursday we took Ginny to the Pink Pig in Atlanta...she loved it and wanted to ride more. The rest of the day she was a little grouchy because she has not been the best sleeper recently. However, Mary Beth is sleeping great and sleeping most of the night!!! This is great since I go back to work tomorrow...so sad!!

Saturday we had some friends over to watch the GA/AU game. As you can see Ginny has 2 cookies on her plate. She looks a little sneaky here. She really only eats about one and carries the other cookies around with her. We had a great time, but crazy chasing kids around all afternoon.

Happy Birthday, Ginny!!

Last week we celebrated Ginny's 2nd birthday with a bouncy house and friends playing. A good time was had by all.

Since the birthday, we have had quite an eventful week. Ginny went to the doctor for her 2 year check-up and everything was great. She is still in the 99% for her height and 78% for her weight. She is 29 lbs and 37 inches long. We are still not sure where the height comes from. This past weekend, mommy went on a girls weekend for a few days. While I was gone we discovered that Ginny has a peanut allergy. We are seeing an allergist tomorrow so we will know more then, but the pediatrician said that we will need to adjust our lifestyle and avoid peanuts and anything that may have a trace of peanuts in them. A lot of education for us and and our families.

Here is a picture from Ginny's 1st birthday..... One year later....looking more and more like a little girl!

One of Ginny's favorite gifts...cool shades.

All three cousins...after the party. Everyone looks a little tired.

Mary Beth enjoyed the party, too.

Wes and his two girls.

The girls were bunnies for Halloween, however we did not make it out of the house in our costumes. No candy for us!

Happy Fall

This picture got out of order, but I had to put it in. I just love this picture.

We have been enjoying this nice fall weather and staying busy outside. We visited the Atlanta Botanical Gardens a few weekends ago and saw the "Scarecrows in the Garden." Ginny had a great time looking and the scarecrows and playing in the children's butterfly garden. Here is a picture of the the three girls. Of course Ginny does not go anywhere without her snack and juice....trying to sit on the pumpkins!


Taking a wheelbarrow ride with our bud, Ella and her pumpkins.

Fall photo shoot with Mary Beth...I could not get her to smile.

This past weekend we went to Cashiers, NC. The leaves were absolutely beautiful as we were driving through the mountains. We had a great time, but it was not much of a vacation with 3 kids under 2 years old. It was constant!!!! We played, ate, shopped, and tried to get some sleep.

Ginny made a new friend at the Inn...Scott was showing her how to play football.

Ginny loved this bear outside the Inn...she tried to feed him those flowers you see in the picture.

This is what Mary Beth most of the trip.
