Grandaddy loved the bumpers as much as Caleb and Annelise!! ;)


getting a hug from Uncle Hunter!

Grayson was just as content as he could be in Ma's arms watching everyone play.

I love this picture of Annelise and Mimi. Annelise sure loves her Mimi!!...

...and she loves Caleb too! We caught her stealing a hug from Caleb at Newk's one Sunday- there's nothing sweeter than seeing your children love on each other. What a gift from the Lord these two are- and growing up so fast. We keep telling them to slow down!! Caleb is 6 now and Annelise is almost 3years.

In February, Austin and I took a long weekend trip to the Florida Keys for a transportation industry event where he represented the accomplishments of his team at FirstFleet. I am so proud of him and his team!! We had a restful time away.

For Christmas, Annelise got a convertible to drive around in the cul-de-sac. She has loved it!!!! At first we had to steer, run behind, and help her dodge obstacles in her way; however, that's not the case anymore! She's a pro- or so she thinks ;)   I hope when she's 16 she'll drive a bit more cautiously- Lord, help us! 

Also in February Hunter, Leslie, and Grayson came up for several hours for a play-date. It was such a treat to have them over!! Grayson is such a doll; I wish we saw more of him. He's going to be turning one in June- I can't believe it. 

Don't you just want to eat him!!?? 

I'll update the second half soon!
