This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.
-Sawyer is cute,Mommy. -Daddy is really naughty! -Are you excited about Daddy's birthday? I am!!! -My underwear is in my bottom. It happens sometimes. -Sawyer's not my friend right now.
A new Chainsaw. Cookie cake slices. A "happy birthday Daddy" song sung in full by Sullivan. A new italian shotgun. A package from home. A homemade card. One very special Daddy.
We just left Macy's, where you can send a letter to Santa himself, placing it in a lovely gilded red mailbox. Sullivan's letter went as follows, without a moment of hesitation:
Dear Santa, I want some dice and maracas. Thanks for hugging. Love, Sullivan age 3
Sullivan had her first "recital" this week in her ballet class. It was really only a "parent observation class", but it felt like our first "big kid" event, in a way. It was breath-takingly adorable; I was controlling both tears and laughter. Sigh.
Happy 4th birthday, Dane! We had a great time at your Cars birthday party! And those gorgeous Car cakes were too beautiful to consume! (but we just couldn't resist!)
Here are a few great pics of our Halloween this year with Sawyer the Strawberry and Sullivan the LadyBug. We got to enjoy the evening with good friends, the Adams and Forets. We have spent every Halloween with the Forets during our residency...
We went home for a quick Thurs-Sunday visit this past weekend and got to enjoy my nephew's 7th birthday party, lots of playtime with cousin Josephine (above), tons of kisses and love from grandparents, a dinner out for me and Lee Friday night, and Lee even got to go to the LSU-AL game on Saturday night. A great time, but whew! we are exhausted now! More photos to come...
