Birthday Daddy Date

One of the most precious things Nathan started with our girls is daddy dates on their birthdays. He lets them choose the place and the activities...mostly turns out to be dinner and ice cream afterwards! This year, Claire chose to go to Arizona Steakhouse and then to Baskin-Robbins for ice cream. These pictures are of Claire ready for her date (purse in hand!) and Daddy giving kisses before they headed out. What a dear time for them both! I love the both of you so much and know these memories will last forever.

April Birthdays!

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Wasabi with the Armalys this week to celebrate Thomas' 6th birthday and Claire's 8!!! We had so much fun and count our dear friends as some of our biggest blessings! We love you Kristen, Steve, Thomas, Elizabeth and baby coming soon!!!!! :)
We are blessed to be doing life with you!

Claire's 8th Birthday

Okay, really?! Claire is 8?!!

We simply cannot say how much we love and admire this girl. Claire, we love you so much and are so proud of the young lady you have grown up to be. As you continue to learn and grow we promise that we will do all we can to love and support you. We love the way you love Jesus, pray for others, are quick to confess your sin, protect and teach your little sister, read aloud so beautifully, and love playing with others.

Claire asked to take a day trip to Atlanta to the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola for her birthday.

Happy Birthday sweet girl! We love you to pieces!!!!!

Citadel Friends Weekend

We had so much fun this past weekend.....being on the water with good friends and good food! We are so thankful for all of you!! We don't need to let it be that long again before we get together again! :)

Field Trip Wednesdays (Part 3)

Last week was the final Wednesday of field trips. I traveled to Roper Mountain Science Center again but this time with Camdyn's class. They attended programs on healthy eating, taking care of your body, and taking care of your teeth. In one of the sessions, Camdyn got to play the nurse and practice taking a puppet's temperature! So cute! We had a wonderful day together! I love you Camdyn!!

Field Trip Wednesdays (Part 2)

Yesterday, I went with Claire's class to Roper Mountain Science Center. Her class participated in a weather program where they made coke bottle tornadoes and then an alligator lego program where they constructed alligators out of legos, hooked them to the computer and developed a program language to make the alligator have sounds and movements! It was a really fun day!! I love you Claire and I love being able to spend this time with you!

Kristen's Shower

One of my dearest and oldest friends, Kristen, is expecting her first baby girl in May! Even though we haven't lived in the same town since college I consider her one of my true friends. :) I am so excited for her and what a little girl brings to the family! Lots of pink, princesess, and fun fun fun!! :)
Your shower was beautiful and it was wonderful to see you and Liz. Love you girls!!
