Look How I've Grown!

Here are some recent pics of Kate. I can't believe she's 9 months!!

Snow!

It was so exciting to wake up to snow on Sunday morning. Lynley could not wait to put her boots on and run out and play in it. Kate was not too sure about being out in the cold so we stayed out long enough to get some pictures and then she had had enough. This was actually our 2nd weekend to wake up to snow. JOsh and I went to Blackberry Farm the weekend before and woke up Sunday to several inches of snow. It was beautiful and we were not expecting it. This weekend was fun but I'm ready for warm, beach weather!

Party Time

Last week we celebrated Lynley and her friend Avery's 4th birthday at Build-a-Bear. It's definitly a challenge trying to figure out where to have a birthday party in the dead of winter but the kids had a great time. They let all the children pick out a bear and then they take them through the whole process of naming the bear, putting a heart inside it, stuffing it and bathing and blowing it's fur dry. Then they all picked out a shirt to put on their bear. After making their bears we all went down to Chick-fil-a in the food court for lunch. I think they had the most fun running through the mall! It was such a cute party for that age. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for something fun to do. The best part is that the parents do nothing! The store takes care of everything and keeps the children entertained. I still can't believe Lynley is 4. Now, all I hear is "Mommy, I can do it by myself because I'm 4 now". This is obviously a very big deal. I think they've all been talking about who's still 3 and who's already turned 4 at school. Hear are some pics of the fun time.
