Family is important

Since we live so far from family here, we have extended family, like Denise and Lisa, and all those would be 'cousins'-ish, and Mr. Michael and Coach Jim, etc. But, family is still important. Blood relatives. T has been talking a lot about GG these days. We want GG to know that T still loves her Kiki--blankie, that GG made 6 years ago. Kiki is T's friend through good times and bad, and there is a connection with T and Kiki. So, here are some pics of T with her Kiki for GG and another pic of T and J with Uncle Buck. We're looking forward to the holidays with Buck, Jen, MaMaw, PaPaw, Grammy and Aunt Noelle. Cheers, Folks!

What a week!

Drink Diet Coke (or Coke or Sprite or anything carbonated made by Coca-Cola)!! Coke's 'sparkling' beverages need a push in the current market-here is T wearing (proudly) her Diet coke shirt in the backyard sprinklers last Sunday, promoting the Coca-Cola sparkling beverages. This week has been a crazy one in this world of ours. At our home, however, we had a nice birthday celebration in honor of MaMaw and the kids were so glad to see Uncle Buck again, even though J did ask (before saying hello), "Where is Aunt Jen?". Sorry U.Buck. T came home from school Monday with the SECOND top tooth gone, so the tooth fairy visited her again for the second time in two weeks (but admittedly almost forgot and almost got caught slipping in early in the am). While snapping some pics of toothless T for this blog, my J insisited that I take some of him, so here they are--those blue eyes and sweet faces-gotta love 'em. How can you just not want to squeeze them and kiss them?!

Adorable face, even with remnants of ice cream on the lower lip

All she wants for Christmas are her two front teeth (yeah, right!-and lots of toys)

And, as a proud mom, I must include that T is making nice improvements in her soccer game--she ran like a champ last Saturday up and down the field and was really in the game. In addition, her tennis instructor said that she is really improving her hand-eye coordination and swing (all this I am sure is because she is now banned from Wii tennis which actually hurt her game).

J has taken a BIG interest in baseball, much to the delight of his Dad and PawPaw. He wants to play on the field at the rec park, and wants to swing that bat every chance he gets. Should we have named him Ted?? Only time will tell. How cute is this pic? Let me answer....VERY CUTE!
