Kids Day In...

This has been a busy week...Tuesday James and Maggie began Mother's Day Out (why is it called Mother's Day Out...I have to go to work, there is no OUT...it should be Kids Day IN!). It was good...great even...I did cry, but for those of you who know me, you are not shocked...you knew I would cry, so really, it is just confirmation to something you already knew.






James and Maggie had such a great day (I know because they wrote it on their "this is what we did today" notes). They ate a good lunch, played well, and napped well (but who wouldn't on those adorable Nap Mats...thanks again Wanda). We go back on Thursday...this is such a "Good Thing"!

Georgia on my mind...

Today was a big day, James and Maggie were "goin' North" according to Uncle Fontain! Off we went to Atlanta to visit my Aunt Sue, cousin Billy and his wife Nicole. This was James and Maggie's first trip outside Alabama; the rain made for not the best driving conditions, but we made it safe and sound...just in time for lunch.





Billy and Nicole brought their dogs (Bobby: a black daschund, Mac and Molly: golden retrievers). James and Maggie loved being around the dogs, and since there were no baby gates...their walking was put to the test and continue to improve.


Here is Billy posing with Bobby...
a daschund almost as cute as Franklin.

Aunt Sue cooked a fabulous lunch (ham, homemade Mac & Cheese, green bean casserole) and she even made a birthday cake for James and Maggie! James and Maggie dove in "face first".







Here is Maggie posing with her new toy...Mac is wondering if it has any snacks hiding inside?

Last but not least...a Family Photo!!! Maybe next time James and Maggie will be paying attention, but for now this one is PERFECT!!!!



LOVE to all of my family...Kelly, we missed you...maybe we will get to Tampa next time!

Today's Question Of The Week is Back to School Memories...

I think this year will be the best memory (once it happens of course)...as Maggie and James will begin Mother's Day Out at a local church. They will go twice a week to begin, and we are very excited. They received new lunch boxes and school clothes for their birthday, and we are having new nap mats made (as we speak...thanks WD), and we will be attending orientation on Thursday. This is going to be a new experience since we have been blessed to have MiMi keep them at home for the first year. I am sure they will meet new friends, and think their teacher is super...but just so you know, this is the first step to my kiddos growing up. Mama will probably cry more than they will.
Stay tuned for pics of their first day!

pounds per square inch...

Well...first I want to apologize for no recent pics, but James and Maggie have not been the happiest of kiddos since their Dr visit. Slight fevers and unhappiness is to be expected...although, I did want to provide you with the stats following their 1 year check up!

Dr. McCown says, "they are perfect!! Ahead of the curve on words and tricks!" You got to love it when you can impress the Dr. I think it was the "touchdown" motion...I think the Dr is a football fan!

Maggie: 30 1/2 inches 21lbs 10oz

James: 31 inches 21lbs

I still cannot believe they are 1 yr old. Here is a picture from their third day...looks similar to today...just not happy, but cute as ever!
