G is for glasses

Baby girl has been headaches on and off for a couple of years. About a month ago, we took her in for a complete examination, blood work, etc. Long story short, she suffers from allergies and also needed to get glasses. Yesterday was her first full day in the classroom with them, and they seem to be helping. She insisted I snap a couple photos of her to show everyone back home how cute her new Barbie glasses are!

At the Biltmore

The Biltmore was fantastic! Mom has wanted to go for years and after I did a little research, I could see why. The house and grounds were simply stunning. I was so proud of all 3 kids. They actually did the entire home tour as well as the grounds and the Riverbend farm. We were also in luck because they were decorating for Christmas and saw many of the rooms decorated. Sadly no photographs are allowed in the house, but I had a great time taking many shots outside.

Corn Maize 2009

Two hours and five minutes later, Nana, PawPaw the kids, and myself made it out under the Corn Maize. We were muddy and a little hungry (still waiting for my funnel cake!) but we had a great time. We were actually 4 minutes slower this year, so for 2010 we will try our hardest to get under the two hour mark.

Ikea & Grandfather Mountain

A few highlights from the first half of my parent's trip.

1. Ikea is impressive only if you have space to take purchases home with you on a plane or in your car.

2. Grandkids and grandparents scream loudly in public places when they see each other after a long absence. I so regret not taking pictures of the reunion the girls had with Nana and Paw Paw when we picked them up at school.

3. Negative 10 degrees is really, really cold.

4.  Bears are good mothers (don't ask.)

5. I love when my husband cooks for company. It gives me more time to visit:)

Enjoy.

The Wedding

It has been a busy few weeks. We had both sets of grandparents and my brother-in-law come up to visit and experience fall and celebrate little man's birthday! I was also  able to fly home for my brother's wedding during all of the activity here. Needless to say I have hundreds of photos to sift through and more to take with Halloween activities kicking off this weekend. Enjoy the photos from the wedding. I will have more tomorrow!

Hey, It's a College Football Game

School is in full swing here and with the advent of school comes the influx of crud and gunk. The girls were sick for several days along with Dad, and then Little Man started sniffling as well. So mom has been holding down the fort while the family is on the mend. In between the sneezing, Hubby did take the girls to their first college football game. No it wasn't the game or the team he envisioned for his daughters, but they still had a great time. The crowd was very laid back and the girls really enjoyed meeting the mascot, copying the cheerleaders and yelling their hearts out! Hope you enjoy the photos, and for the record they are completely responsible for what they are wearing! 

Our new cousin has arrived!

Welcome little A! Your cousins, aunt and uncle can't wait to meet you! Congratulations to P and his lovely wife!
