Memorial Day

We made it to my sister's house on Sunday & have been having a great time! We enjoyed a Memorial Day BBQ with family and some good friends from our time at GA Southern Univ. Here are a couple of pictures of us hanging out at Aunt Sarah's neighborhood pool with the Keisler family. Little Anna Brooke (the blonde) is such a cutie!

Sleepy girls

We were running errands Monday afternoon getting Todd ready for his trip & this is what the girls looked like when we got home. We ended up leaving them in the car (with the doors open) while we unloaded & did a few things. They both looked so peaceful that I couldn't stand to wake them!

In other news, Todd & his gang of 19 headed off to Africa yesterday morning. The girls & I saw him off at 5am at the BCM. Jolie & I were snuggling on the couch last night & she said, "mommy, daddy is going to miss me." I asked her where her daddy was yesterday & she informed me that he was "riding on an airplane, not a helicopter." She is full of useful information!

Don't Go Breakin' My Heart

Jolie's new favorite movie is Chicken Little & she particularly enjoys singing & dancing to some of the songs on the soundtrack. I apologize for the camera work as I was either laughing or holding Sarah through most of my filming. I laugh out loud every time I see it & hope you enjoy it too! Sorry it's a little long.

Sarah at 8 months

Time is flying! I can't believe another month of Sarah's little life has already come & gone. She continues to be a precious baby. At 8 months she is:

• CRAWLING! everywhere!
• Getting to sitting position by herself
• Still toothless
• Very entertained by her big sister
• Reaches out for me when someone else is holding her & I walk by
• So much fun!

Mother's Day

I feel blessed to be the mom of two sweet little girls. Here is a cute shot Todd took of me & Jolie after church (Sarah was napping) & his attempts to get all three of us later today.

Celebrating Gran

We spent the last few days in Alexandria visiting with family & celebrating Gran's retirement. We had a wonderful time & can't wait to see more of her next year! Here are a few highlights from our time in Alexandria:

A fun day

We had a good day today. We had a garage sale with some of our good friends this morning & then came home & relaxed around the house while Todd did yard work. We hung Sarah's swing on the swing set this evening. Here are some shots of her first time in the swing (& one of Jolie):

Fun times with friends

We had dinner on Wednesday night with some of our friends. Jolie & Josie loved the piano & were playing & singing their little hearts out. Aren't they cute?This is Sarah after we returned home. She was partied out!

Watch our garden grow...

We wouldn't want all of our friends & family to miss out on our exciting garden. Jolie & I have enjoyed watching our flowers & vegetables break through the soil. Here is a glimpse of our garden on day 7:
