"Grow-ing along in February"

Havin' #2 in late July!!!!

17 weeks... and lots more to go! We are getting excited about our new little addition! We are just about at the halfway point now. Megan doesn't quite get it yet... we're going to explain it to her in a few months. Things seem to be going pretty good so far.

We have our 20 week ultrasound in 1 week and 5 days. It will be pretty cool to see if we'll have another girl... or a boy?! Heaven knows we have plenty of girl stuff... so we'll have to wait and see! Names are our next item of business! I'm ready to get it over with... but Kevin wants to wait to find out the sex. Hmmm... picking Megan's name was easy... but now what? We actually do have a few "very possibles" in mind. We'll keep you posted!

Evan's House is fun!!!!
(INSIDE and OUTSIDE)

"Caught playing Peek-a-boo under the blanket"
You'll have to excuse Megan for her "casual" attire.
Playtime = lounge time!

"Peek-a-boo"

Megan loves Evan's new ball pit!

"What a rag-a-muffin!" No pants... when you've got a hat!

We decided to have a little "snack" picnic outside in the yard.
Megan kept trying to hug Evan... but he was playing hard to get.
They both love it outside.
I'm pretty sure it is a close 2nd to the word "snack" in her daily vocabulary.

"Picking azalea bushes is serious business!"

They almost look like twins! It's so fun watching them grow up together!

A day in the life of Megan

"SNACK" has been echoing through our house for several months now! The girl loves to eat! This is a picture from Monday morning... a typical place to find Megan... in her seat... where she runs to sit down while you bring her her SNACK. She is a nut!

We've been doing pig tails all week... I put her "TIES"in... over and over... because she keeps pulling them out... and asking you to put them back in. She carries them around everywhere.

Potty training 101 has been okay. We've been doing it for about 10 days now... she either loves it... or hates it! She is so proud of herself when she tinkles in the potty... but when she doesn't want to sit there... you can forget it. She has good days and okay days... 5-8 times one day... then 2-3 times the next. (It doesn't help that she has a cold... and doesn't feel good)


"RECYCLING DAY"

We've been a bit behind returning our plastic bags to Publix!

"This one has something sticky on it!"

"These are all empty... where did all the SNACKS go?"

"Who needs leaves when you can play in grocery bags?"

"I think I can use this one for a purse!"

"Did we really have groceries in all these bags?"... YIKES!

"One can never have too many plastic bags!"... or can they?

Once we cleaned up all the bags... and took them to publix... to then purchase more food... and fill new bags... we came home to play play-doh! The girl loves the play-doh! We now have a nice turquoise spot on her beige carpet... oops... now we stick to the tile!!!!

"Girls weekend" Annual Mother/Daughter Scrapbooking Trip!

"Discovering waves"

Gammie and I took Megan over a day early... to have some quiet time on the beach. It was so cold... but really cozy with sweats on. Megan loved squeaking her shoes along the sand.

She... of coarse... loved the BUBBLES the waves made. She didn't however understand that more waves were coming. She just about got wiped out!!!!

She ended up packing her pockets with shells... which she referred to as ROCKS.

Megan was with us for Wed. and Thurs. night... and then got picked up on Fri. morning so that the big girls could have a mother/daughter scrapbook weekend. It was fun bringing her over... she is so much fun to hang out with.

The sunrise was awesome... everyday!!!! I took pictures each morning... for those who didn't wake up in time to watch it. The condo we stayed at was right on the beach. I was literally scrapbooking while checking out this beautiful view of the beach.

"Moms"

"Daughters"

Taylor had fun stirring up the sea gulls.

Merry Christmas 2008

Megan got so many great gifts this year! This is one of her favorites. Uncle Kyle and Jessica got her an outdoor playhouse. Kev had to climb inside to put it together. She loves to ring the doorbell.

"Thanks for the fun stuff everyone!"

Cookie baking...

Megan got her very own homemade apron this year. She loves the kitchen!

Camera shy...

Hmmm... yummy!

Kevin, Gammie, and I took Megan to see the Christmas lights at the duck pond! She loves lights! She kept waving bye bye lights!

Megan's first 4 wheeler... we ordered a new battery for the great hand-me-down. Megan calls it her "truck"

We stopped by the cemetery on Christmas Eve to let Megan say Merry Christmas to her pop! I wish Dad were here... but he is always with us in our thoughts.

I must admit... I ate the nilla waffers... and poured the milk back in the carton.

Megan loves all of her fake/ play food! She was really excited when she got the entire kitchen to go with it!

It was tough to pull her away from this!

We popped up to North Carolina for a few days between Christmas and the New Year!

New Years fondue night was insane!!! The cheese and apples were the best!

Quick photo op before everybody overate!

Livy even ate a plate full too!

Samuel munched on the play food from Megan's kitchen.

I didn't go far from the cheese pot! Meanwhile... the seafood and steak was being inhaled!

I saved room for the desert trays! MMMmmm... it was painful... but worth every bite!

The boys saved a little room too!

Well... the craziness has settled down. We are getting started on a great new year! Megan loves playing with her new toys... and recently discovered she likes to color! It's fun watching her find new interests!
