Molly began some art classes

this month. She loves and

her teacher Callie.

Wall art.

Too cute!

Paintings.

Ok, this isn't anything about art
but had to show you how cute they are!

Birthday Parties

This is the first year since Molly & Lindy have been going to school that one or the other hasn't been sick. Since their birthdays are only 3 days apart and they are in the same class room I only take treats in once. This year it happened to be on Lindy's birthday.

(Next year it will be Molly's turn)

Treats for the day were dirt cups complete with gummy worms.

The kids in the class room love having parties.

Mamaw even came to enjoy the day.

(she's sitting in the back ground)

Party #2 was on Saturday the 21st.

They invited all their freinds & family

to the skating rink.

Lindy had a blast.

Molly too.

The highlight for the kids was when Mrs. Mobley,

their teacher stopped by. Here is one of her kiddos.


Each year I take time to thank the two

women in China who choose life.

I will be ever so grateful they did.

And I also thank God for

blessing us to be these two

sweet girls parents.

If it weren't for those two ladies and

God guiding us to adoption at the right moment

in time....

has come in the 4 years

She is a complete delight to

have around. Always cracking

a joke on someone and has the

biggest laugh ever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINDY!

Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve Mass was pretty full, so the

girls sat in the pew in fornt of us.

They are getting so big now and follow

the music and reading in the book so well.

It is the fist time in many years that all the
grandkids and great grandkids
were all together
for Christmas.

17 big kids

Piano Recital

The girls have been taking piano lessons since July 2010.

The teacher, Alison Dudley, had some of her

students show off their talents at a

Christmas recital on

December 11, 2010

Molly And Lindy did very well
and they were the
prettiest there too. *wink*


Molly was a little nerves, but she did great.
She's not one for getting up in front of others.


Lindy did wonderful as well.

She tries to be bashful, but truthfully I think

she loves performing.



We were very proud of them.

There was a good crowd in attendance.

Molly & Lindy's fans were

mom & dad,

mamaw & papaw,

grandma & aunt Lynn,

aunt Donna & Colin.

Aunt Donna even presented them with flowers.

School is going very well for these two.

They both received great report cards

and Molly got perfect

attendance for the first quarter.

I am really enjoying going to help

with AR tests in their

classroom three times a week.

They love their teachers too.

We are so very proud of them both!!

Welcome to First Grade!!

August 18, 2011

being silly before school!

All decked out in new everything!!
Thanks Mamaw & Papaw!!

Got up pretty easy this morning.

Ate cereal.

And anxious to get dressed.

They were a little worried about where to go once at school.

So, I walked them into school and waited with them

for instructions from the principal.

Here we go.....
Last year the kids' room was the closest to the front door.

I kid you not, this year it is the farthest!!

Lindy is ready to start her day!

Molly loves her desk!

Their first day went very well.

It was learn the rules day.

They both really like their teacher, Mrs. Mobley.

Time to sit back and listen to the stories!! :)
