Can You Spot the Turkey?

Audrey & Abby had a Thanksgiving week project: Turkey Lurkey doesn't want to be Thanksgiving dinner, so he needed a clever disguise! Abby's turkey was a "hula dancer," complete with lei & poms, and Audrey's was "Cowboy Lurkey," who, of course, has leather boots & a Texas-size belt buckle! I did help a little by cutting out the parts to use, but they did most the work (honest!). I think they look TUR-riffic!

Our Li'l BOO's!

Happy Halloween, everybody! This year, we had an Audrey pumkin, an Abby bunny, an Adrienne puppy & an Addison kitty! We even had a "couch potato!" The girls had fun & got WAY too much candy, which they're still munching on. Here are some pictures from the Fall Festival.

First Day of School

New place, new house, new school! That was what was in store for us as we moved to Alvin, TX in Mid-August. We're staying at the church parsonage while we're waiting to close on our Arkansas house & look for a house here.
The twins started first grade and Adrienne started Kindergarten at Hood-Case Elementary on the 25th of August. (Actually, Adrienne started a day later--we had to get shots on the 25th.) They love it and are doing so well.
Clay loves his new place of ministry, as well. The church has been great and he's adjusting well. After being hospitalized for a bout of staph during the move, he's bounced back & is going full-force.
Addison & I stay at home (most days, when we're not out trying to find out what's around us, or going to Wal-Mart for the necessary moving-essentials) and swim through the boxes on treasure hunts for our stuff!
I included a picture of Addison and our cat, Handsome, as I found them (only asleep) after a nap.

A Lot of Catching Up to Do!

OK, OK. So I KNOW it's been ages since I've updated the blog. NO, the girls are NOT in their teens yet! Since the last time I've blogged, Audrey & Abby have graduated Kindergarten, Adrienne graduated Pre-K and had her 5th birthday (July 25), we've taken numerous Summer trips, moved to Texas and started school again! WHEW! Here are some highlights in pictures. I WILL try to keep this updated... promise! :)

Happy 3rd Birthday, Addison!

Well, I cannot believe my baby girl is about to turn 3! Thursday, April 30th is Addison's birthday, so we had a "ladybug tea party" (her request) last Saturday. She had a great time, even though it got "rained in." She loves all her baby dolls & WordWorld friends. Here are some party pics...

The Zoo-Part 2

Here are some more pictures from the Zoo field trip: Audrey posing on a bench, Abby feeding the giraffe, the girls with Mrs. (Brenda) Blaylock (in the white shirt), the girls with Mrs. Rhonda (Lewis)(in the dark shirt), & a Kindergarten class picture.

Take me to the ZOO!

Audrey & Abby had their Kindergarten class field trip today to Monroe Zoo in Monroe, Louisiana. We hadn't been to a zoo in a couple years, so it was fun now that the twins are a little older (and no strollers, diapers & bottles for me!). I think they all had a good time. We took the boat tour, but it was so bright outside, my poor babies couldn't see very much! Abby's favorite part was the "Creatures of the Night" exhibit that included owls, snakes & bats. Audrey liked the monkeys & also feeding the giraffe an ice cream cone!
