Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. AK has visits from Grandmamma, Papa Jon, Grandma Deb, my side of the family, and even Santa! We are very blessed and wish all of you a very special holiday season!

Pumpkin Patch

I am a bad blogger...........but I am trying to update a few pics when I can! These pics are from a very busy but fun end of the summer. We went to the beach with the Halls, Barras, and Moores. It was so much fun letting the kids play together and visiting with the adults. We were grateful to Joe's dad for the hook up! Anyway, 7 kids under the age of 5 and all the beach stuff that entails was surprisingly not bad at all! It was a blast and I hope we do it again next year. Joe, AK and I went on another little beach trip a few weeks ago. It was fun getting away with just our little family. We had a great summer and are enjoying fall (or what pretends to be fall in South Louisiana).

Terrific Two's

We went to Missouri to celebrate AK's 2nd bday with Joe's family who wasn't able to make it down to Louisiana for her party. AK had a great time hanging out with Grandmamma, Memmie and Papa. Sissy (my sister) came in to town for a few days so we had some fun family time then too. Here are a few pics. AK started Mother's Day Out last week. She's getting used to it. I know she will love it.
