I Love You All The Way...

To God and back!

That is what Ann Charlotte tells "Hoopie" everyday!  So sweet!

Okay, I need a nap now please.

Showing off our decorations that Ann Charlotte insisted we put up a week in advance.  

So special, all of Hooper's grandparents AND great-grandparents made it!  These are my grandparents and Trey's grandmother was there too! Great memories!

An awesome day to celebrate an awesome little boy!  Happy Birthday Hooper!  You mean the world to us.  We love you so much!  Mommy, Daddy and Sissy

Happy Hooper Loves Music

Hooper is loving Music for Aardvarks this semester!  I thought he may be a little young but he is obsessed with Mr. Joe (the teacher).  Most of the class he sits right in front of him and claps.  Here he is playing the drums (or putting everything covered with flu/strep germs in his mouth).   Fun times!

She Can Read!

Tonight Ann Charlotte read her first book (make that 2).  She was so excited!

Daddy Bob's Heart

On our way to meet Daddy for lunch....

Mommy:  "Ann Charlotte, we need to say a quick prayer for Daddy Bob.  He is in surgery now for his heart.  It is a serious surgery and he needs our prayers.  Can you close your eyes?"

Ann Charlotte:  "Mommy, what is wrong with him?"

Mommy:  "He is having surgery on his heart and your heart is very important!  It keeps you alive!"

Ann Charlotte: "I know that mommy, because that is where God lives.  He lives in your heart."

So true, I have never thought of your heart being such a vital organ and that is where you ask Jesus/God to "come in to your heart."  So simple, yet so deep.

I love this girl and she loves Daddy Bob (my granddaddy--her great-granddaddy)!  We are so glad he is home recovering now!

New Kicks

My little man is growing too fast!  He got his first pair of real tennis shoes today!  (tear...tear...)

Hooper and Cousin Jane

Sporting the new Kicks.  My little frat boy!

Pro Tennis Player?

Ann Charlotte started tennis lessons.  I guess I need to note this in case she is famous one day!  She is having fun!

Like Mother... Like Daughter

Ann Charlotte and I went shopping today!  She was all about getting matching outfits!  We got two and she can't wait to wear them.  She doesn't understand that it is January and they are summer clothes.  We will look cute this summer!  Here is a sneak peak!
