Hannah's Newest Pics

Here are a few new and precious shots of our third Joy-girl. Yesterday, she decided it was time for her to climb up the Little Tykes playgym...all by herself when her mommy wasn't looking! I turned around to see her on the top! After some instruction, she eventually figured out how to maneuver her feet in front of her to slide down the slide. She was so excited about it...and so worn out!

I hope you enjoy her sweet smile as much as we do!

Andrew's Birthday!

Andrew's birthday was a quiet, special day. He turned 6 years old on March 7. It's hard to believe he is so big! He's been growing out of his clothes and shoes, eating two sandwiches for lunch some days, and letting me know he's big enough to do all sorts of activities since he's six now.

The day began with me making waffles and fried eggs (Andrew's favorite) and letting him eat it in mine and David's bed! (A very special birthday treat indeed.) Then, out of the blue, David's voice came through over the computer singing "Happy Birthday"! It was so wonderful!

Then he had his first t-ball practice ever. He did very well. Every hit he got, he would say he got a home run. I didn't bother to correct him until the next practice.

That afternoon, Andrew wanted to stuff candy into balloons, which is what I did for his 4th birthday party. So we stuffed them and then popped them after we ate Papa John's ham and pineapple pizza. I would show the video, but you all may laugh a little too hard of me sitting on and popping balloons. So, I'll just show Andrew with a few of his gifts and his cookie cake with fruit on top, which he always asks for.

SNOW!!!

Well, as in several other states in the southeast right now, it is snowing in Alabama! It's been snowing since about 5:30 this morning and hasn't stopped! Though, it is not sticking as it did this morning for a little while when it was still below freezing. The wind has been blowing at 20-30mph, if you can believe it. The kids enjoyed playing before church! I did my best not to be too much of a nagging mother as I told them not to get their church clothes dirty! Andrew's pants were soaked anyway, so we just put on a different pair of khakis. They had fun, but were freezing!

Considering that yesterday and Friday, severe thunderstorms and tornados were passing through Montgomery and surrounding counties, and the temperatures were over 75 much of the time, the snow is just another weird weather phenomonon to add to our weekend!
