Meg's Baptism

We had Meg baptized today. It was so wonderful to have so many family and friends here to share in this special day. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a meaningful celebration of the beginning of Meg's life as a Christian. We were definitely surrounded by joy and love!

Last day at the beach

Fun with Friends

Today we went to Pensacola to visit the Crain family. Joey and Andy lived together at State and we always enjoy seeing them when we are down this way. Parker, who is almost 3, loved baby Meg and kept asking to "pet her". It was so cute. He and Wenn had a blast playing together. Thanks to Joey, Deann and Parker for a great day!

First day at the beach

Green Thumb

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With the help of Mrs. Peggy of course! Wenn and Mrs. Peggy planted this garden today. It is full of pink and white flowers and is beautiful! Thank you Mrs. Peggy for making our yard a little prettier -we need all the help we can get!

Insights of a 3 1/2 year old

Things have been fairly calm here at the Sanders household. Andy has actually been home every night this week which has meant some quality family time. We have discovered this week that Wenn is growing up way too fast. She has been full of insight and advice this week. She informed us that sometimes mommy is wrong and sometimes daddy is wrong and also she has realized that daddy doesn't always listen to mommy which is bad. It is amazing what they observe and how they translate it all in a way that only they can understand. They are always watching, learning and hanging onto every word you say. My favorite Wenn saying is when Andy does something he shouldn't, like tracking dirt in the house, I ask her "What are we going to do with Daddy?" and her response is always "We're just going to love him". It always makes me think of God and his constant love for us, no matter what we do. Oh, to be a child again!

8 weeks old

Meg turned 8 weeks old yesterday. She is growing so incredibly fast! She is smiling and talking to us and she LOVES her big sister. We go Thursday for her shots so we will find out how big she has gotten. She has been a joy and I can not believe that she is already two months old!

Easter Parade

Yesterday we hosted our neighborhood Easter Parade and Egg hunt. It was so much fun and the weather was beautiful. Sally Beth found the golden egg that had $5 in it. As you can see, she was quite proud. Wenn explained the wonderful world of cupcakes to her baby sister. Mary Wright and William enjoyed each other's company as well as the treats. Wenn, Sally Beth and Keeton all rode in Wenn's wagon together for the parade. Everybody had a great time and look forward to doing it again next year. Happy Easter everyone!

Creative Endeavor

Okay, so I am not one to brag, but I am very proud of myself for making this outfit for Wenn. I have tried to sew before but it usually required a ton of help from my mom and still ended up looking very homemade. This pattern was fairly simple and I did it all by myself (I know, I sound like Wenn). Anyway, this was my latest creative outlet and it was fun so I would encourage anyone to try sewing! If I can do it, so can you!
