SG was still talking about Christmas this and Christmas that so it was time to move on to a new holiday. Yeah for Valentine's Day !! During this particular photo shoot, I got a whole lot of great shots of little C but hardly any of SG. She had just woken up from a nap and while usually eager to have her picture made, this was not her day. She was very uncooperative (as most almost 3 year olds can be) but I was able to get a few even if her face was goofy !!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Charlotte was initially not cooperating but after a bottle she fell right to sleep and remained asleep for all of the photos....not the ideal but was still able to get some pretty good ones !!! On another note, I asked SG what she wanted Santa to bring her for XMAS and she said a rocking horse and a popsicle ... hmmmm ... that popsicle might be a little interesting in the morning !!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

I can't believe that it was almost one year ago that we found out that we would be adding another precious miracle to our family. I can't believe that I will be 35 this year and I can't believe that in 2011 I will become the Mommy of a 3 year old.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are many "I can't believe's" but I will tell you one thing I do believe in .... the magic ... not the "pull a rabbit out of your hat" kind of magic, but the "light up your face" kind of magic that happened when SG helped me light the candles on the menorah or the wonder on her face when she pulls her prize out of the advent calendar each evening. I really really can't wait until we see the magic of Santa at work on Christmas morning !!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

In the last few weeks, Aaron's Mom has come for a visit, SG started dance and 2 year old preschool, we have continued with gymnastics, and Aaron's sister came to visit as well. Charlotte has been learning the ins and outs of daytime and nighttime and SG is quickly learning that she is no longer the center of attention much to her dismay. The dogs don't really care about Charlotte ... I think they all were like "Great Another One !!"</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">While Aaron's Mom was here we went out to the local pumpkin patch and took some pics of the girls together and SG alone. This is the 3rd Halloween that we have been in Fayetteville and each year we have taken pumpkin patch pics of SG in the same spot. I can't believe how much she has changed in that time. She is such a big girl now. I often wonder what happened to my little bitty baby. Honestly, I really can't believe that we have not only one but 2 of these little creatures now. If you had told me that 8 years ago I wouldn't have believed you. They are both miracles in the truest sense of the word. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It's been a combo of sheer laziness and a busy summer !! Only 5 more weeks until we welcome little number two into this world and I'm not sure if we are ready but there is no choice in the matter...she is coming whether we are ready or not. Sarah-Grace continues to grow and grow before our very eyes. She is holding very "adult" sounding conversations with us and is almost completely potty trained. I'm not sure where the time has gone but it sure has passed quickly. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In a few weeks SG will be starting up again at the church preschool up the street from us and this year will be attending 2 days a week. She continues with her gymnastics and I am considering signing her up for a ballet/tap combo class. Considering her love for tutus and dressing up like a princess, I'm sure she would be a natural but we'll see...you never know what a 2 year old is going to do !!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">July was a pretty busy month for us and all I can report about August is that it is hot hot hot every single day. In July, we had some new family photos taken and my parents came for a nice visit. When my parents came to town, we all went for a little vacation to DC for the 4th of July weekend. I am posting some of my favorites from the family photos and our DC trip below:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Since the days are getting warm and long, Sarah-Grace has that desire to be outside almost every moment she can. We recently bought her a sandbox for the backyard and I took the opportunity to catch her in a few moments of childhood play in the sand and on her swingset. I couldn't think of a more worthy subject to photograph and I am finding that I really like using Aaron's fancy camera and then editing the photos to my liking !!

We started out on the 19th of March with a trip to Baytown, Texas where we met up with Aaron's sister's family from Dallas and had a bit of a Ffrench family reunion with Aaron's Dad, aunts, uncle, and cousins. We celebrated SG's Birthday, her cousin Aubrey's Birthday, and Aaron's Dad's big 60th !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">From Baytown, SG and I moved on to San Antonio for the week because Aaron had some work to do there and we got to have a little vacation and relaxation in good old Texas. We ate at all our favorite restaurants and I even got to spend a whole day with my sister and her kids. A fun time was had by all !!! I must not forget that we even got to drive through College Station on our way to SA and eat at Freebirds....YUM !!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Upon returning home from Texas, we had little time to get ready for an Easter Egg Hunt and SG's official Birthday party on Saturday March 27th. SG had a great time picking up eggs and putting them in her basket and then later on that day we celebrated her big 2 with a Dora themed party complete with a taco bar and Dora cake !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Whew...and as if that wasn't enough, SG finally turned 2 yesterday !!!

I am so very very tired of the cold, windy, wet, and snowy weather that has plagued us this winter season. It has gotten so old and I am so done with it !! We, or at least I, and ready for Spring around here. So ready to be able to go outside and play everyday without the worry or bother or putting on coats and hats. I think Sarah-Grace is ready too because she loves to be outside. Last week, her little preschool did Spring photos. Despite the fact that it was only 39 degrees outside, I put her in her best Spring attire, sandals and all, and we made the trek up to school for some photos. Here's hoping she will be able to wear clothes like this every day sometime very soon !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dEMQSRJ_RvtvynWBF8ZP7hEDBVQxQbiv_l7GAi1hvXjklnkWQ3kayA8msTkvcy4s6a9SiiGJhzlYcnAZgUNNqQTgOcD6tOLOM_nUHAqischejEmQGHu_39l_NeRiIBW0kA5wGRUmYqme/s320/SAM_0566.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445545787130867618" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU5E2Aysci_zVuC9kTddmuRpFOxM42bVl3qfyeqMp5uOZHjgbuyaQqk0Feo4PDymFWL8BoskbNbPEhGPyWVA3juduBDy-HJlez_Jr1Bymtg7vma_CL3JrYy0zpNtEVlw6aBXeDasOz1e9F/s320/SAM_0568.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5445545792952641026" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-68438819614321440672010-01-24T07:15:00.001-08:002010-01-24T07:20:01.536-08:00A Rare Opportunity !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">On Friday January 15th, which also happened to be my 34th Birthday, Aaron and I had the opportunity to dress up and go to a military ball.

We were joined by my parents, Aaron's sister and brother-in-law, and Aaron's Dad and his wife. It was a lot of people to please on one trip but we had a great time. Park City is a great place and it was the best ski resort we have ever been to. Although SG is still a little too small to ski, she had a wonderful time dressing up in her snowsuit and playing out in the snow !!! Our plan is to take SG back in two years with Aaron's sister's kids so they can all have their first ski experience together !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikk25xu-wwNm2KGjAdqsp8L73uddvCk0d1OZMaePTImeEEJOQfzTsnU3lxF0ZSNzSqeCgpS-GeNGV4HIaM73pr7ubwmNfP8mBmthE4jX14LOJdBeQoE1UhBQhRkE4mvXONvEGKdAH1hF-4/s320/SAM_0346.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428484264900793874" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWhPQbTFca4e7pZYqCo3nUYvq68TDnYyRkw9dmixvaeQtj5Hhgvy-O_y0f5PyWeTVp4pmSxjPrB_qC5n3ROGHNYw0i0L9TSbE3nqsS0s-sVW6peVcPYqcmx6d8u0QnJkejxrOOeSAh_MKp/s320/SAM_0341.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428484281343825954" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj63nqUt431P71Dx_mxBMjoMVt-12zYTZfHs8urpy4NPC6n9urkiv7jBRQboz43xOQaCQ7bBX200w52qc9ZpHCqLAyw_jkJpoajrCbY2ICGz6H1XRmqrFKsrgjgWlCNEH9F89EZxNtpaW8h/s320/SAM_0340.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428484273896619906" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKLwIJmx3r1a-MTSHG6kjrGY1hmgKEdJM77ojym4JvRTGPlt2Qme8hJfvTpQ6DOs9FtiE0XD76h6maHezs3vwey1YSdhHGSGqo17HjF_GlV9z90XJVyPzvJHSfB9ll_k_rWyS-50txcsB/s320/SAM_0332.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428484286908740722" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-11671913885133820382009-12-19T10:42:00.000-08:002009-12-19T10:54:38.738-08:00Breakfast with Santa !!!!<div style="text-align: justify;">This morning we attended the annual Breakfast With Santa event that is put on by the Family Support Group. Last year, Sarah-Grace was one very upset little kid about sitting on Santa's lap. She was just fine until she turned around and realized who was holding her. This year, she didn't look thrilled about sitting on his lap but she didn't cry. Then, she got off of his lap a little too early before Aaron and I could get up there to have a family photo. When she got off his lap they prematurely gave her the gift that they have for each child and she promptly turned around, ran back to Santa and got back on his lap. She is a smart kid after all and probably thought huh if I sit on his lap I get a gift...sweet let's do it again !!! For your entertainment, I am posting last year's photo and this year's photo...what a difference a year makes !!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHVtrOW-73Rzj3jV72AMlfJE5vLKnLeEFsBBzIFtyOYwXb59C-5vjXKFWTbSHd_G1yrxa8XoIrdU483ySCGhHKmjox1hf2cAYAH-RibMC4THUcQ7FPrJ4tJGB1M_QRNF4uYJVOJOnt8JOL/s320/SAM_0258.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417021943364112850" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 277px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz_4Ei3N9cSPCRDsL1QL5Y2lyu6yi2ftMEFp_hUyOMddWSdpq8FnFb93vSTsrp_famWQgfpHMM82pgXzw2Mmb3KZFSXWDTCdaLqIkq_rDLr6NBVPmImSb3-m1xQX6PTmZwCxCdpaQWyj3J/s320/Photo+015.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417021935219839298" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 318px; height: 320px; " /></span></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-27127102897218405352009-12-10T13:42:00.001-08:002009-12-10T13:52:37.571-08:00The Christmas Dress !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">Well in the mail today we received SG's holiday dress made with love by Aaron's Mom (Grandma).

I have never in my life been so thankful for the raincover on our stroller. On Saturday, it was about 32 degrees and either snowed or rained all day. We still managed to have some fun in all the wonderful museums though. Sarah-Grace especially loved the museum of Natural History due to the large collection of animals and we also got to see a live butterfly exhibit which was really cool. I posted my favorite pic from the weekend to the left under the title "Monumental Girl" . I am posting some others pics below of us in front of the WWII memorial and Sarah-Grace playing in the kids section of the American History Museum. Although we had fun, I was definitely reminded that traveling with a small child is complicated !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi0dyoG2ihmFlpZ_hmu6ngzHZRz-ezSf2xw0sWfTfBWPAvpSif8hmaB-D__-obZS8ss8kwTRW3VAYUZolZdqbPbgnwl5mWAuTC1NfdzlVBPFm64e2Hl1CgXGqmGHFkIxeqrg6peLC29zY/s320/SAM_0189.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413247789310696146" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL9bTpXLCBNsiyhhITT6hIDjJA9Xuga_pJk8m2MDQozh7K22UzEFz-55w-yzfIzMYlum0KJ9Vh2cR816bEo9F6whShwCIiz75sacP3ox4Eo2dwlQsfQGL5rgOCNYB_oPI4MVIONUqS0ei-/s320/IMG_5663.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413247780309268530" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaf5xWmWOF2-Qtr3M1ByApzuYbpZO6kJ1_JOEXIo6tdwMePlI4GPoXQQe9Uug-R8SGyB9ShDpObwtXEzttViA5PWVarQ794ae6q4lL3KWKyK9ZJAW-j86SA4t5gfi1snlyvhVB24AO-XS8/s320/IMG_5662.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413247774311553970" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></span><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOnXMoNagR_SolNDJQJP3jhpN4g_vEsWNYx9ICcMNo58vUG_V62u3sQzVUld-DELYiG1qZbYUQZj_oFrCf0yprT3EgNng40OJAnUAlUOUF2YdpFbh_oEgbPVzaiPBoafoZkDdDcsPUAgxC/s320/SAM_0185.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413247789023120242" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-72980097612971639242009-11-08T09:56:00.000-08:002009-11-08T10:13:03.166-08:00A Miracle Photo !!!Yesterday we headed out into the backyard with Aaron's camera and tripod to attempt some family photos. After getting some shots of just the three of us, I wanted to try the six of us...which means I wanted to include the 4 legged children as well. Aaron pretty much thought I was nuts but it worked and we got a pretty darn good photo considering the calamity that occurred trying to get everyone in position. Anyway, I posted the photo below which I will deem a miracle among miracles !!!<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOuSHaOLUqOTQK3kYB2p_XFmPR8FCIsdP1Y3nvC00alye_VctL8TjljONi-SQqSlmDxEWCQkLLbIIliJL1Eh4tUofCzjnXVTI36KfLUQn4b6YSGqhHt70Dm96pJMRa1Y2I7S61-IPrTXl6/s1600-h/IMG_5606.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOuSHaOLUqOTQK3kYB2p_XFmPR8FCIsdP1Y3nvC00alye_VctL8TjljONi-SQqSlmDxEWCQkLLbIIliJL1Eh4tUofCzjnXVTI36KfLUQn4b6YSGqhHt70Dm96pJMRa1Y2I7S61-IPrTXl6/s320/IMG_5606.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401797321740181730" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div><br /></div></div></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-50865721083306758212009-11-01T09:03:00.000-08:002009-11-01T09:09:45.950-08:00Halloween !!!We had a very very busy Halloween this year. It all began on Thursday night with a party at a good friend's house. Friday involved the kids' Halloween party at Aaron's work and Saturday night was hotdogs and trick o treating at another friend's house .... WHEW !!! This year, SG was dressed as a cupcake thanks to the fantastic costume made by Aaron's Mom. She had a lot of fun trick o treating but after a while she just got kinda cranky ... I don't really blame her though because it was hot and sticky outside !!! Here are a few photos from the festivities and the last one is of SG tackling my friend's son during a sugar rush !!!!<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphen7xgdydmAi53JB6dH5j_hVeE8phZH5L7OEVtUAZIrNwy0OxVHfn1rO5rftoV0e7-92CaBzIn81YejiTH9QXEJG1geWQygjQY6h5jjmc4OIUMVblchBVXTxOroe9a2zR1zVap_aqhIxE6/s1600-h/DSC01793.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphen7xgdydmAi53JB6dH5j_hVeE8phZH5L7OEVtUAZIrNwy0OxVHfn1rO5rftoV0e7-92CaBzIn81YejiTH9QXEJG1geWQygjQY6h5jjmc4OIUMVblchBVXTxOroe9a2zR1zVap_aqhIxE6/s320/DSC01793.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399183278260847970" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNuZ4wyU9FkFANZKQAUPmy-gJAHfKRmsxd9xoEC9YLC1pTDcmI_InD7YyVhYPU-QeKbnC0bKKD-mQk-bPqcreZL-OMRLWJcLYYoquSoyNVAEbUg2iFQIrgiKle4TVId-NeI5YPo-IjmL-/s1600-h/SAM_0004.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNuZ4wyU9FkFANZKQAUPmy-gJAHfKRmsxd9xoEC9YLC1pTDcmI_InD7YyVhYPU-QeKbnC0bKKD-mQk-bPqcreZL-OMRLWJcLYYoquSoyNVAEbUg2iFQIrgiKle4TVId-NeI5YPo-IjmL-/s320/SAM_0004.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399183278892986658" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupzIVwA-2mzGPYy6oLaMkMv0NJr1m9aaoIZqOcI4bAPYfMtXHieGODJh2BFTBHlNWQY9Tfn2iRPsXHVkTnUErpTxEv3Kltpon-xdsuYcQo7_eYZ1F49VsuGEG-nd4ltew69WVjoiwY4L5/s1600-h/SAM_0013.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupzIVwA-2mzGPYy6oLaMkMv0NJr1m9aaoIZqOcI4bAPYfMtXHieGODJh2BFTBHlNWQY9Tfn2iRPsXHVkTnUErpTxEv3Kltpon-xdsuYcQo7_eYZ1F49VsuGEG-nd4ltew69WVjoiwY4L5/s320/SAM_0013.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399183286324206802" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-62364968328609080162009-10-22T10:53:00.001-07:002009-10-22T11:04:21.788-07:00A Girls Trip !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">Since the birth of Sarah-Grace the majority of my time has been consumed with baby stuff and more baby stuff. However, this past weekend I was fortunate enough to be able to have a girls' weekend in Savannah with two of my favorite people in the whole world (Kara and Suzanna). Although I have made great friends in my adventures as a military spouse, I still long for those friendships that I left in Texas. After all, Texas is a part of my heart and soul. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our weekend journey began in Charleston where Kara and I enjoyed a tour of the city via horse and carriage and then a wonderful Southern dinner at Hominy Grill. From there, we ventured on to Savannah where we picked up Suzanna at the airport and hit the ground running. We had great Southern food all weekend and took in as many sights and sounds as we possibly could pack into one weekend. Thanks girls for all the laughs and a great time...you guys are the best and I love you both.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Below is my favorite photo of the three of us sitting outside of Lady & Sons !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVHSgD1-3erXT1n5mr7ya0c_rDfU26GgthUUaxJj2YN8b5TwqnUlHouFe3CxkuknsGJ_T8GeWp0lkB0VyztAEqmHwRFz_Xbq9p_j3RkH2HRiIQyehNCpDaFiLaJjYqTCL4apSFPZiZ1FI/s1600-h/DSC01688.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVHSgD1-3erXT1n5mr7ya0c_rDfU26GgthUUaxJj2YN8b5TwqnUlHouFe3CxkuknsGJ_T8GeWp0lkB0VyztAEqmHwRFz_Xbq9p_j3RkH2HRiIQyehNCpDaFiLaJjYqTCL4apSFPZiZ1FI/s320/DSC01688.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395486562773726306" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-85241698866013449752009-10-04T18:01:00.000-07:002009-10-04T18:10:44.515-07:00Fun at the Pumpkin Patch !!!!I really really love Fall. I love the weather, the smell of the air, turning trees, nice temperatures, and Halloween !!! Yesterday, we went to the small farmer's market about 10 minutes from our house. Around this time of year they have pumpkins, hay rides, and lots of fun stuff for the kids. We took Sarah-Grace last year also to take her picture in the pumpkins. We took a picture this year in the same spot and I can't believe how much this kid has grown in a year's time. She truly is our little pumpkin !!!<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8JFIvY4pDYc-nVjEnAVmYlAXi-bi6pALkpkT5ZD7pn5tASx1w64EyTAUBy1KrqnIh996aNkmEybIeQgpXE6H7zFrWVPlINyHMFcoeLqgDimP-k-42yeDMkfm2UdHqBWSPLjQUV6hzU4u/s1600-h/IMG_4959.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm8JFIvY4pDYc-nVjEnAVmYlAXi-bi6pALkpkT5ZD7pn5tASx1w64EyTAUBy1KrqnIh996aNkmEybIeQgpXE6H7zFrWVPlINyHMFcoeLqgDimP-k-42yeDMkfm2UdHqBWSPLjQUV6hzU4u/s320/IMG_4959.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388916731386690530" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Baby Sarah-Grace one year ago !!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FZFq24v4y6dI2aqxViJ88Xjfd0mHOhEguM9PQ9bjhOyDELDeMb-o4yVbRCH17si6_inX1FOqXeC4Vgv-4Ri4AwKucigPEQOTxSbgbQU6ix1-bolryIAaYlUt2JVx5gkuL8KcOUhgivA8/s1600-h/DSC01677.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0FZFq24v4y6dI2aqxViJ88Xjfd0mHOhEguM9PQ9bjhOyDELDeMb-o4yVbRCH17si6_inX1FOqXeC4Vgv-4Ri4AwKucigPEQOTxSbgbQU6ix1-bolryIAaYlUt2JVx5gkuL8KcOUhgivA8/s320/DSC01677.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388916738018845378" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toddler Sarah-Grace today !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-26688912593053674922009-10-04T17:47:00.000-07:002009-10-04T18:01:32.532-07:00So Glad to be Home !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">I feel like I have been on the road for a month. We took off on Labor Day Weekend for a two week road trip to Texas, returned week before last, and then last weekend I took off with Sarah-Grace to San Antonio for my sister's 30th Birthday party. It has truly been a whirlwind and I have no idea where the month of September went. At any rate, we had a wonderful time visiting family and Aaron and I had an awesome trip to Vegas (child-free) !!! Sarah-Grace has a great time with Bebe and Papa as they spoiled her rotten or more so then she already was !!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXEvdmZXF9hZNS9JA_iaKf7RqCTsxFoNe-6yp3g9Dcsj2LZRK16WH03TVg6jgYDeEDZYDm-LM8jPgAVTpznYvk6XKslq6HPhoGvD0-aU6q7FU2lNUtARPydnAM62VcLMCr9d2cuFYWLnV/s1600-h/DSC01485.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXEvdmZXF9hZNS9JA_iaKf7RqCTsxFoNe-6yp3g9Dcsj2LZRK16WH03TVg6jgYDeEDZYDm-LM8jPgAVTpznYvk6XKslq6HPhoGvD0-aU6q7FU2lNUtARPydnAM62VcLMCr9d2cuFYWLnV/s320/DSC01485.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388913841629215282" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dining At The Top of the World for a belated 10th Anniversary Dinner !!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2mPjU0ZVnJaJ2vxskaH15xd-FvnWexU5Go-j6NN7eshCH8_mYqtF6TQ62Uy0sQ5smgRwRkg7onVSn69fpGZoqqJrc4JWo-GPyrUCLecyS1MnojEtXAotqPyna_k-pn_oLndCenKH3Geq/s1600-h/DSC01527.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2mPjU0ZVnJaJ2vxskaH15xd-FvnWexU5Go-j6NN7eshCH8_mYqtF6TQ62Uy0sQ5smgRwRkg7onVSn69fpGZoqqJrc4JWo-GPyrUCLecyS1MnojEtXAotqPyna_k-pn_oLndCenKH3Geq/s320/DSC01527.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388913850830982498" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sarah-Grace with her Bebe and Papa !!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqkEKJdv_5WnCTFwumu-BYp1XiG3kuUbkWzt_4uKCO5VjMqghQw4oNOOid8OP1gu9Vjv1bBi2lMydJX4mywn_Jrajx4KN-B5R1Mh8xG4DQKw6VnSAH8Nu6dDIGxGAvU7g425Y9GIXIm-1/s1600-h/Photo+155.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFqkEKJdv_5WnCTFwumu-BYp1XiG3kuUbkWzt_4uKCO5VjMqghQw4oNOOid8OP1gu9Vjv1bBi2lMydJX4mywn_Jrajx4KN-B5R1Mh8xG4DQKw6VnSAH8Nu6dDIGxGAvU7g425Y9GIXIm-1/s320/Photo+155.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388913861259231298" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sarah-Grace with her cousins Maddie and Aubrey !!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHKFXnsFX1Orj3pY_3K1hyphenhyphenoOELPBH9ZHvSw1ckUmZcYYNVV6sMaZa8koPsB4iCqleSFyMa-hkHeTNEnMJzWhXnw4KtmZkfXOKzDFL_hwzD5MjFNz-0m7v5RhZz-O_X7WvexUp6EhJ3sap/s1600-h/DSC01600.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVHKFXnsFX1Orj3pY_3K1hyphenhyphenoOELPBH9ZHvSw1ckUmZcYYNVV6sMaZa8koPsB4iCqleSFyMa-hkHeTNEnMJzWhXnw4KtmZkfXOKzDFL_hwzD5MjFNz-0m7v5RhZz-O_X7WvexUp6EhJ3sap/s320/DSC01600.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388913861798692882" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tracee and I at her 30th Birthday party !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-65302150442716437172009-08-23T17:54:00.000-07:002009-08-23T18:04:04.489-07:00Monkey-ing AroundOver the weekend, Aaron and I took SG (i.e. our little monkey) to Monkey Joes. For anyone who might not know, Monkey Joes is an indoor play place that has a bunch of those big blow-up bounce houses and slides.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, Monkey Joes does have a toddler area that is especially designed for children 3 and under. We started out in this area but we were informed by the nice lady on the way in that SG could play on any of the slides and bounce houses. So, after about 10 minutes of playing in the toddler area we took her around to some of the bigger ones to see if she might be interested. Well, let me tell you, after that .... the toddler area was a thing of the past. Each of the slides has an employee available to help. So, we put her on one of the biggest slides there and with some help, she climbed all the way to the top, turned around of her belly and off she went. The child is fearless and that is SCARY !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">At any rate, she had a ball and I am sure we will go back in the near future !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuktU0scSrv006H7PV7yKetCwuEfdXbITH3YFY-ulkEpnbnjlFAuKLmUkcfc4V0N1wg9271MbamMDVhqFpQO0u9DXXQriL5KXeVvHF_KTtweAzjb2Ba-mjO9lk-SWyrN1S8pc2q3h_O9H8/s1600-h/DSC01390.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuktU0scSrv006H7PV7yKetCwuEfdXbITH3YFY-ulkEpnbnjlFAuKLmUkcfc4V0N1wg9271MbamMDVhqFpQO0u9DXXQriL5KXeVvHF_KTtweAzjb2Ba-mjO9lk-SWyrN1S8pc2q3h_O9H8/s320/DSC01390.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373329363204206146" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL8EWul0BAzeXbE0zu-ly78ZlXJP-89ta3kvJbE5KWgSIZgeOZw_LGSB6OwFF1x2DRS90VTWh1mtDrbElCapETS2SuV56WoYF108pegKK_4FVz9ksEc7MF28AmSOfvK-Hyh2yZiZZjZjvX/s1600-h/DSC01392.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL8EWul0BAzeXbE0zu-ly78ZlXJP-89ta3kvJbE5KWgSIZgeOZw_LGSB6OwFF1x2DRS90VTWh1mtDrbElCapETS2SuV56WoYF108pegKK_4FVz9ksEc7MF28AmSOfvK-Hyh2yZiZZjZjvX/s320/DSC01392.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373329354056880210" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNkiaQhbKag9yvkz49kiRkoiz08DxetEsLIPGV-d7gl26QEd6FOXg6Ldswblb05AR0F85jDnYpmf08OuhRKNLcHKtHiJpzblWL5lhpP1w6_MTzQ69F6zNWYafWSJj-SC2aFXE5cZ6xP20/s1600-h/DSC01393.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyNkiaQhbKag9yvkz49kiRkoiz08DxetEsLIPGV-d7gl26QEd6FOXg6Ldswblb05AR0F85jDnYpmf08OuhRKNLcHKtHiJpzblWL5lhpP1w6_MTzQ69F6zNWYafWSJj-SC2aFXE5cZ6xP20/s320/DSC01393.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373329351296966674" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKxYFkfNv1QTBQZVMsfp-IvTEoWrMcNJozdQmndL0i8P-IFCJ5I0CKI-RaXjq2rATI4ptNmfoh7RR3T9ghyphenhyphenejkndu1GAUA0muarbt8CygQZ8LXO2P6XDPJpVherLbBOp0jREpSiyCkoA6/s1600-h/DSC01388.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCKxYFkfNv1QTBQZVMsfp-IvTEoWrMcNJozdQmndL0i8P-IFCJ5I0CKI-RaXjq2rATI4ptNmfoh7RR3T9ghyphenhyphenejkndu1GAUA0muarbt8CygQZ8LXO2P6XDPJpVherLbBOp0jREpSiyCkoA6/s320/DSC01388.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373329343991598994" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-695368484748608122009-08-08T19:09:00.000-07:002009-08-08T19:27:30.598-07:00It's Almost Over .... Yipppeeeee !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">Well, the dreaded 4 month deployment will come to a close next Thursday when Aaron will finally arrive back in North Carolina. I am certainly no stranger to these deployments but this one will go down in history as the most challenging "adventure" yet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This little gem of a deployment was veeeerrry different then the others because of one major factor (a factor that I love with all my heart), Ms. Sarah-Grace Lillian Ffrench. You see when Aaron left back before her first Birthday, she wasn't even fully walking yet. Now, she is a walking, talking, running, eating, mess-making, dog-ear pulling, full-on toddler. While Aaron has gotten to see her on the webcam almost everyday for the last 4 months, I think he is still in for a big surprise when he arrives home as the webcam only gives him a very small snip-it of what life is like here on a daily basis. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Really, I cannot believe all that has occurred in the last 4 months. We made two, yes two, plane trips to Texas and visited with friends and family, traveled to Charleston (and the ER) for the 4th of July, joined a parent/tot gymnastics class, learned more words then I ever thought a 16 mo old was capable of learning, watched lots of Dora the Explorer and Baby Einstein, used the word "No" so many times I lost track after the first one, attend storytime on a regular basis, had friends come to visit us here in NC, spent countless hours on the webcam with Daddy and the grandparents, and the list goes on and on. WHEW, I am one tired Momma and soooooo ready for my best friend to be home. I know he is so ready to spend time with the family and become reacquainted with the daughter he left as an infant and has blossomed into a smarty pants toddler !!!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I often have people tell me that they admire me, that they find me to be strong, and that they don't know how I do it because they never could. Don't get me wrong, I find this extremely flattering but I could not have survived these last months without the undying and unconditional support of my husband, my family, and my friends. I am also very lucky to have one curly-headed blonde little girl that greets me each morning with a smile and a "hi" as I walk in her room. When you have such wonderful and loving people standing behind you and cheering you on, you can do anything no matter how painful, trying, or difficult. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, next Thursday as we drive to the base to pick up Aaron, I am sure I will be reflecting on all that has happened in the last 4 months as I think ahead to how we will spend the next few months together as a family. For now though, I am just trying to make it through the longest part of any deployment....the days leading up to the homecoming and I think It's Almost Over...yipppppeeeeee !!!!</div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-53006339797179361642009-07-28T18:39:00.000-07:002009-07-28T18:51:51.415-07:00Always Part of the Family !!<div style="text-align: justify;">People often told me when I was pregnant with SG that my dogs would become secondary to my child. This may have been true for those people but my three furry children are as much a part of our family as they ever were. Sarah-Grace loves all three of the dogs and knows each of their names and can identify them correctly ... which melts my heart !!! She gives each of them love equally and they are always around ... usually waiting for food to drop from the table.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today, SG and I went outside to play and Marlee and Maisy found a lizard in the tree...so I took the opportunity to take some great photos of them waiting for this lizard to drop from the tree...much like they wait for the food to magically fall from the table. Annie was inside enjoying the AC and I captured a picture of her doing what she does best too !!!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlfOBodxKTKIwzvbrqIhBy4HR0Y1ulEWfgypNyddbOMW0fumq0qVF9NKbdCcKgQQtY2xwVFe9unnGO6FXC7oC2-V3BRbrSIL6DPPuL80oXAkIzKWjy2thF3fjlQ14OvrykWc6AiyBD6Rr/s1600-h/DSC01287.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUlfOBodxKTKIwzvbrqIhBy4HR0Y1ulEWfgypNyddbOMW0fumq0qVF9NKbdCcKgQQtY2xwVFe9unnGO6FXC7oC2-V3BRbrSIL6DPPuL80oXAkIzKWjy2thF3fjlQ14OvrykWc6AiyBD6Rr/s320/DSC01287.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363693107636294962" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtvYSQxGKeOM1DVf7rbXj-6ta0rOiz_UC2z0kdcwpTb4nxP4HwdyNN9tXAWleSyRreIYxhJZPDItnyjvIiw85mPxwtT5YDTFGkBoq9o7VrkGXYkeK5uT2shXL8dyz_tcOxax0T81PLvzi/s1600-h/DSC01280.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNtvYSQxGKeOM1DVf7rbXj-6ta0rOiz_UC2z0kdcwpTb4nxP4HwdyNN9tXAWleSyRreIYxhJZPDItnyjvIiw85mPxwtT5YDTFGkBoq9o7VrkGXYkeK5uT2shXL8dyz_tcOxax0T81PLvzi/s320/DSC01280.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363693113239655666" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBcZw-XLcwqlHVmGMaK425Rb-mLqh2MePW3PkSNrK0N0B0XhiJWwtiutZel6_W5V70DBLyE96DFZGjZH3X_cv-lTRYrCO12tLOY6TZANSXcDiUrZ5Oz0Ok2SSQP5PLLFNmJSpPaortV3n/s1600-h/DSC01288.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoBcZw-XLcwqlHVmGMaK425Rb-mLqh2MePW3PkSNrK0N0B0XhiJWwtiutZel6_W5V70DBLyE96DFZGjZH3X_cv-lTRYrCO12tLOY6TZANSXcDiUrZ5Oz0Ok2SSQP5PLLFNmJSpPaortV3n/s320/DSC01288.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363693097076445234" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkg7LaaOrgMP0tuzOZCCK2gd1xXO3N1vZ4zDlRZEa_N5QCCvokSNTkKVmcSUNTAwiO66uM3BNpfdF2lPXYSqcviISbM6gE2MispDHmWoiq70OEly6k8ZBMvTI6R4b9xIAR0bzXf2RAA4oz/s1600-h/DSC01286.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkg7LaaOrgMP0tuzOZCCK2gd1xXO3N1vZ4zDlRZEa_N5QCCvokSNTkKVmcSUNTAwiO66uM3BNpfdF2lPXYSqcviISbM6gE2MispDHmWoiq70OEly6k8ZBMvTI6R4b9xIAR0bzXf2RAA4oz/s320/DSC01286.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363693095264460610" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAqVpoO7oDVfE91-H72Q5vAj_lGbbAU-ADskzhv88CKgtWEJCjK67qkwL0O2MPU06qbfCl7KkUpql4NX1ML7830ZoOpCHF27Ixcit78y7VgYDx_g0bC0FBoupnGIH6b8wOlbh6VQMkJ3l/s1600-h/DSC01307.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBAqVpoO7oDVfE91-H72Q5vAj_lGbbAU-ADskzhv88CKgtWEJCjK67qkwL0O2MPU06qbfCl7KkUpql4NX1ML7830ZoOpCHF27Ixcit78y7VgYDx_g0bC0FBoupnGIH6b8wOlbh6VQMkJ3l/s320/DSC01307.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363693085678486530" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-2346544707411170652009-07-19T17:42:00.000-07:002009-07-19T18:00:26.465-07:00Little Nature Girl !!!Whenever we go outside, little SG has an affinity for things like sticks, tree bark, rocks, and dirt. She will attempt to pick up all that she can at one time. Why she does this ... not sure??? However, I find it somewhat amusing. I am sure it is just her ever growing sense of curiosity and her desire to learn. There could be plenty of "real" toys within reach but she will inevitably choose the rocks and the sticks.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTycYjPqhe5yaMEAdCxcoquLUtJ9WNUKvOqMDuokHV5_oIXNSHFprkd4he2_shYU7vlsoPiVpBHoUSpz6mMZhW8I8KxNzm6W5jGkwsxs7pfninDn0-v4jM8avajrvYtT-FHhP1LE6FhrDw/s1600-h/DSC01239.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTycYjPqhe5yaMEAdCxcoquLUtJ9WNUKvOqMDuokHV5_oIXNSHFprkd4he2_shYU7vlsoPiVpBHoUSpz6mMZhW8I8KxNzm6W5jGkwsxs7pfninDn0-v4jM8avajrvYtT-FHhP1LE6FhrDw/s320/DSC01239.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360337612519520098" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6GwjcfJ77oX1Nor046NbxxznnS78P37kfRnr63KojOBjRtaKAdl7oGf7k3PO-DyEla9E4cD7m-vheYIyP86sHesm8NAFcpASACidrpxs3qgFeO9IrXMNW2hKTa0CJS7BNa52_gpqSBpPQ/s1600-h/DSC01257.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6GwjcfJ77oX1Nor046NbxxznnS78P37kfRnr63KojOBjRtaKAdl7oGf7k3PO-DyEla9E4cD7m-vheYIyP86sHesm8NAFcpASACidrpxs3qgFeO9IrXMNW2hKTa0CJS7BNa52_gpqSBpPQ/s320/DSC01257.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360337603991177650" style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px; " /></a></div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525294205050945879.post-49382453839543129732009-07-17T18:49:00.000-07:002009-07-17T18:55:44.982-07:00Only One More Month !!!<div style="text-align: justify;">Yippee....Yahooo....Hurrah !!!! Only about one more month and Aaron should be home. He will have been gone for a little over 4 months which is one of the longest deployments yet. We (or at least I) am soooooo ready for an extra set of hands and eyes. Although I love SG to pieces, this has certainly been eye opening and challenging. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Although Aaron has had a chance to see SG almost everyday her has been gone via Skype, I think he is in for a real surprise. When he left, she was not even a full-time walker. Now, not only does she walk, but she attempts to run, can do forward rolls, and has lots of real words. She is truly a walking talking little person. Via webcam, he only gets to see a small piece of the whole package. Sometimes she will interact with him and sometimes she is just too busy doing other things. So, it will be so very fun to see her interact with him and vice versa. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It will be an adjustment for all of us but one that I am soooooo ready for. She is truly a busy little girl and she wears me out with all her activity. I can hardly express my excitement about his homecoming in words.</div>JEFhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150929130920791530noreply@blogger.com0
