My Big Girl

Family Get-away

Happy Spring Break everyone! We are on a family get-away at the beach. I won't call it a vacation because with Meg, there isn't much relaxing going on. I will say that both girls have been taking some serious naps since we have been here. Andy has had Mississippi Young Bankers and we have enjoyed being here since Wednesday. Thursday it was a little too cool to go the beach so we hit the outlet mall. Wenn got to do this bungee jump at the playground and loved it. She is definitely my shy child but she is also pretty adventerous and fearless with everything but food (she is her mother's child in that department). We all enjoyed a gorgeous day at the beach yesterday. Meg loved it and even helped Wenn build a sand castle. Wenn was thrilled that she got to wear her "kini". She begged for one, I don't know why, so I caved and bought her one about a month ago. The good thing is that the way she is growing she probably won't be able to wear it by the time summer gets here. Hope everyone is enjoying the break! I know I am definitely not looking forward to heading back to school & work on Monday!!

Sunny Saturday

Yesterday we had a great time enjoying the gorgeous day. The girls and I traveled to Vicksburg to watch Andy finish the Run through History race. He did the 10K and finished in under 45 minutes - Go Daddy Go! Then we hung around, listened to the band and waited for him to get his award. After that we grabbed lunch and had a picnic down at the riverfront park. If you are ever in Vicksburg and the kids need to get out of the car and play, go to this park, it is amazing. They have a fabulous playground and in the summer they even have a splash pad for the kids. This was our first time there and it was so much fun. After our picnic and play time at the park we headed to Jackson to meet Mac Mozingo and play with his big sister Mollie. Mac & Mollie are Charlie and Ellen Archer Mozingo's beautiful children. Mac arrived Friday morning and I don't have any pictures because I was too busy holding sweet baby Mac. It was a great day filled with fun, family and friends!

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! These are some recent pictures. Thursday night Wenn and I made cookies for her Valentine's day party at school. Wenn loves to help in the kitchen and it is so fun to cook with her. We had beautiful weather today so the girls got to play outside for the first time in a long time. Wenn took Meg on her first gator ride and she loved it! Meg adores her sister and Wenn is enjoying teaching Meg about new things. They are so sweet!

Happy Birthday Meg!!!

We had Meg's first birthday party this afternoon. It is still hard for me to believe that she is one, time has flown by! Here are some pictures from the party. Wenn had a great time playing with Elly and Keeton and sharing in her sister's big day. Thank you to everyone for celebrating Meg's first year with us!

A day

Yesterday I had "a day". I hate to say a bad day because that implies something tragic happened and nothing, in the big scheme of things, tragic happened. The past couple of weeks have been a struggle. I am at a fork in the road in my career and can not decide what I want to do. I always know what I want to do so this has been a huge struggle for me, because in this case, I have no clue. Anyway, back to my day. Meg's birthday is Monday and we are having her birthday party Sunday afternoon. Those of you who know me well know that I get a little out of control when it comes to birthday parties. I love them, I love planning them, baking for them, decorating for them, everything. I have often considered starting my own business on the side where I would plan kids (or adults) birthday parties - from invitations to decorations to the cake. I just think it is so fun to celebrate every year of your child's life and to share that with family and friends. I found this fabulous company called Gaddie and Tood. She has precious, and I mean insanely precious, stuff that I would so do myself if I wasn't working full-time and had more free time. So I ordered some stuff for Meg's party. Robin, the owner, made the stuff, posted pictures on her blog and then mailed it to me. The problem is, I never got the stuff. I don't know what happened to it but I haven't gotten it. Not the end of the world but a dissapointment to say the least. So last night I was cooking supper and Andy and I were discussing theories about what could have happened to the package and Wenn said "Mommy and Daddy come look at my playroom". Wenn had cleaned her whole playroom by herself. We never asked her to, she just did it and it really was clean. I almost started crying. She is such a sweet child and it was if she knew that I had had "a day". I am thankful for my wonderful family and that tomorrow is another day. God is good - if only He would send me a sign about the fork in the road!
