Georgia Friends

Tuesday we got to hang out with Brooks, Bethany, & Anna Brooke Keisler. Brooks & Bethany were BSUers at Ga Southern the year we served there. They recently relocated to Birmingham & had their first child. We were so excited to get to see old friends & meet sweet Anna Brooke!

The Park

Monday was our first full day in Birmingham & Aunt Sarah wanted to take Jolie to the park that is near her apartment. Jolie loved it! They had equipment for little kids & Jolie enjoyed climbing through the tunnel & going down the slide. She made a friend named Kate (who is 21 months old). She waved hi to her, blew her kisses & then leaned over and kissed her right on the mouth. She is so friendly & so much fun!

BCM Spring Formal

We took a family picture before Todd & I left for BCM Spring Formal. Hasn't she grown?

Jolie's 1st Haircut

Miss Emily came over today & gave Jolie her 1st haircut. She trimmed the back & gave her bangs! The finished product is precious & this last picture doesn't really do it justice. I'll try to catch a better picture of her fun bangs tomorrow. Miss Emily, thanks for a great haircut!

This is a fun clip of Jolie taking care of her baby doll that Aunt Sarah gave her. Thanks, Aunt Sarah!

Look at Jolie's Cute Hat

Jolie wore her hat to church today & actually kept in on the entire time!

Riding my Rody

Jolie is learning to "bounce, bounce, bounce" on her Rody.

Jolie agrees...

VACUUMING STINKS!
As you can see, Jolie doesn't like vacuuming any more than I enjoy it.

Doctor Visit Report

I think I've talked to most of you, but I wanted to let you know that Jolie has an ear infection in BOTH ears! I would have never guessed she was in pain, but she must have been hurting. They gave her a shot of antibiotics before we left the doctor & some ear drops for pain. She should be on the mend soon. Thanks for your concern!

Hanging with the Landrums

We spent a couple of nights with Matt, Shandra, & Andrew Landrum this week. Matt & Shandra are friends from college. We had a fun time visiting & getting to see Andrew (who is almost 10 months old). We had to leave early because Jolie was running a fever. We are going to the doctor first thing in the morning. I'll update after our appointment.

Enjoying the backyard...finally!

(Check out the new fence!)

We are loving being able to go outside & enjoy our backyard again. Jolie got a new slide today & she also discovered the sprinkler. She wasn't too excited about getting wet at first, but when Todd picked her up she didn't mind it!

Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures from Jolie's 1st Easter Egg Hunt. They had a hunt for her Mother's Day Out class right before we headed out of town last week. I thought you'd enjoy seeing these pictures!

Baths are fun!

This is a fun clip of Jolie enjoying bathtime. We hope she enjoys swimming this much!

Reading with Daddy

Here are a couple pictures of Todd reading to Jolie this afternoon. She is enjoying being read to more & more. I read "Goodnight Moon" about 20 times yesterday!

Weekend at Caney Lake

We went up to Jimmie Davis State Park with Todd's family this weekend. We relaxed & the boys fished. Jolie loves ketchup just like her Grandpa - she too prefers Heinz :) She practically licked the ketchup off her plate!

Pictures from our weekend

We went up to Alexandria this weekend because Todd had something at Tall Timbers. We spend a couple hours playing outside with Jolie yesterday. She had a good time running around & playing with Murphy (Gran & PawPaw's cockerspaniel). I took the other pictures after we got back from church this morning. I thought she looked sweet in her hat.

Aunt Sarah & Jolie

Aunt Sarah Kate - around Jolie's age.




Does anyone else think Jolie looks a little bit like her Aunt Sarah? I can't believe how similar their hair looks. I think they definitely favor.

My First Class Picture

I thought everyone would get a kick out of this classic moment. I have a feeling we will be laughing at this picture for years to come. This is her class picture from Mother's Day Out.
