January Babies

This is Ken with his friend Joe, who currently lives in southern California. Joe is holding his son, Vincent, born a couple of weeks after Nora.

Another trip to Zoo Atlanta

Probably the best money we spent this year was on passes to Zoo Atlanta... We were able to go several times over the summer with different friends and it was lots of fun! These pictures were from when we went with our neighbors.

Emily and Edward (They are in the PreK 4 class together this year.)

Random Shots

Here are a few random shots, mostly to see Nora's progress, but cute.

The kids wanted to dress Nora like a fireman...

She liked it! :)

Sitting in the Bumbo chair and playing with the ball popper which is still one of her favorite toys!

Nora in the jumper... due to her size (ahem, height), this one was short lived, but still lots of fun and entertaining for spectators! I tried to document a video and Bailey and Edward ran in front of it so many times that I gave up.

Hangin' with her big brother!

Congratulations Whitney and Chris!

Whitney is one of our favorite babysitters... she also happens to be the sister of my good friend, Darbie. We had a great time celebrating with the new Mr. and Mrs. Delaney!

Let's just say it was a big hit...

Marijane and Monty's Wedding

Beach Trip with Rai Rai

We had lots of fun on Nora's 1st of many trips to the beach with Rai Rai. Sadly, it was freezing the whole time, but we managed to get a couple of pictures of Nora in her swimsuit. (:

4yr old Final Prayer Service

Each year on the last day of school at the preschool, the 4yr olds have a final prayer service and lunch as a kindergarten send off. They also have parents/siblings line the halls and all of the 4yr olds have a final walk. It brought tears to my eyes. Here is a picture of Bailey with her best friend, Charlotte at the program.


So sweet!

Aiden's 1st Birthday!

Aiden, Craig and Elizabeth getting ready for the sports themed birthday!

Birthday boy with Grandma and Grandpa

Yummy cupcake!

Grandma made the pictured football and soccer cakes, as well as a basketball cake that was not pictured. Delicious!!!

All the kids had fun watching him smash his cake!

Chuck E. Cheese!

We decided to take all of the kids to the infamous Chuck E. Cheese to let them run around and play on Friday before Aiden's birthday party on Saturday. Grandma Carmel also made a yummy firetruck cake for Edward and cupcakes for everyone to share. (Note: the firetruck cake was even better than the cake we had on Edward's birthday made by the bakery!)

Happy family!

Cakes and cupcakes oh my!

Edward's favorite part, the tickets!!!

Aiden and Barney go for a ride... "thumbs up!"

Nora is giving big smiles to Aunt Brooke

Off to California

We decided to brave the airports and take the family out west to celebrate Aiden's first birthday. A great time was had by all! Here are a few shots misc shots from the weekend.

Happy Easter!
