Saturday night

Last night Mike got back from his trip to Louisville and Maw-Maw and Papa stopped by to visit on their way to Florida.   Sara is ALL ABOUT the Disney princesses right now (way to go Disney marketing- got another 2 year old hooked!) I got her some princess sheets for her new bed, and she can't wait to use them! She is sure to show the sheets to everyone who comes over :) Papa really wished he could have such pretty sheets :)

Mick enjoyed spending some time with his great-grandparents!

Here is Sara eating dinner- with her princess cup, placemat, and plate! I should take out stock in the Disney princess empire!

I guess the princesses got hungry, because Sara fed them some chips:

Here is Sara talking on the calculator (which she thinks is a phone).  She is very serious about it- don't interrupt her conversation! After she's done talking, she brings it to me in case I need to make a call (or do some math)

Around

Mike got back on Monday and we enjoyed a few days together before he had to leave again to go to Louisville for a conference.  He gets back tonight and has no more trips in the near future! YAY!!! Here are some pictures from our week: 

Paw-Paw rocking Mick- he's getting so big!

Sara's gotten rather good at her climber: 


Daddy hanging out with the kids- he really missed them! And I know one little girl who is extremely happy to have her Daddy back!

On Wednesday, we got out the sidewalk chalk and in addition to decorating the sidewalk, Sara drew on herself- silly girl! 

From May 2009

Thursday we were drawing on the sidewalk again and Sara put on a little show! 


Later on, we went to Rhythms on the River- it was fun :) 
From May 2009
Mick had a good time too :) 

From May 2009
Sara and I danced a lot! (if by dancing you mean me twirling her around in circles!) 

From May 2009
Paw-Paw took over the dancing duties after a little while!
Here's a picture of Uncle Nathan and Sara hanging out this afternoon! Sara loves her Uncle Nathan (especially when there is a dog on his lap!)

We are excited to go pick up Mike tonight and even more excited he doesn't have to leave again! Hope y'all have a great weekend :)

But I got one!

Next we went to Maw-Maw and Papa's and JP, Jennifer (or as Sara calls her "JP's mama") Aunt Connie, and Allison were there! We walked down to Susie's house: 
At Susie and Billy's house, JP and Sara played ball:

Sara announced that she was the "teacher."  I'm not sure what she was teaching JP :)

Then Sara found a picture album and sat down to look at it.

Mick was a little more talkative on the way home! 




We had a great day in Alexandria!! We love y'all and we can't wait to see Daddy today :)

Fun Fun Fun

Today Daddy comes back!!! YAY!  We've been busy the last few days.  Mick is starting to enjoy tummy time (its hard to get a good picture of it though)

From May 2009

And Sara and I have been enjoying swim lessons.  On Thursday, Uncle Nathan came to keep Mick company and he got a few pictures.

After lessons, Sara read some books:

Then later on, we all headed to a hamburger festival in the neighborhood.  It was fun! We ran into Bryan and Kristin and got to meet Evie! She is so sweet- we can't wait to see her again.  Sara wasn't too excited about the burgers, but she loved to dance to the music.  As you can see in this picture, she was much more excited about the sno cone  than any burgers!
From May 2009



On Friday, Nathan and Kristin watched Mick while I took Sara to swim lessons and they got this cute video. Mick is really starting to love his play gym and he is even moving his arms and hands intentionally trying to grab the toys.  

From May 2009

In this video, he's trying to grab the play gym.  

Saturday morning, Mick was talking to everyone! 

Later on we got to hang out with Daniel and Kendra some.  Sara convinced Daniel to read to her (it wasn't that hard)

Sara needs to get better at taking pictures before the wedding...

Maybe if we let her take a picture with her baby doll and that (ugly) Barbie she'd be ok!
