I never post enough pictures

Honestly, it's kind of a pain to upload photos because I have to do them one at a time. So I don't do it often and then if I have a free afternoon I'll upload a bunch at a time. So here goes.

We went to a Go Fish (Christian kids band) concert with my friend Jammie and her kids. Nate and Jaycie got along great, especially with the "Talking Carl" app on my phone.


Georgia was so excited to be at this concert. You can see it all over her face.

For my birthday, I decided we should all go bowling.

Here's my dad. It's really hard to bowl while holding 24 pounds in your other arm.

This must have been a really exciting point in the game.

This is the only picture I have from Blake's dad's retirement party. What a cute family.

Oh, remember me getting all misty eyed at Nate standing at the trains at Vanderbilt? Here's a pic.

The kids are constantly playing hide and seek behind these curtains. They twist themselves up in them, or they run straight out until the curtain goes over their heads, or they play peek a boo. It drives me crazy, and I'm constantly saying, "Stop pulling on those curtains, or you're going to pull the whole thing off the wall!!!"

Okay, this is the cutest. One day Bekah texted me to ask if she could paint Georgia's toes because Mia (her daughter, Georgia's girly girl mentor) wanted to do makeovers. I told her sure! I never have because I didn't think she'd sit still long enough. She let Georgia pick the color, and she chose blue. :) Not what I would have picked, but maybe she's just a little UK fan. Ever since, she has been SO PROUD of her toes. She comes up to us, holds out a foot and says, "Blue feet."

Nate got his new braces in, and I found a pair of slipon shoes for him to wear over them. I can tell he is less stable in them, and his ankles wobble, but that's the point--to build up strength there.

Here are a couple from when Nate was in the ER a few weeks ago.


And this is from when Georgia was sick. Can you see the blue lips?

In the ER they brought in a couple of infant toys, and she got bored quick. I asked them to bring some "babies" for her, and she had a great time with these Little People.

 Georgia loves playing dress up. And babies. Here she is dressed as a princess pretending to grocery shop with her baby.

Here's her Easter hat.

Pretty girl

 One day, both kids decided they would wear hats. Nate said, "Mama, when I grow up, I'm going to be a conductor, and Georgia will be a gardener!" (Based solely on the hat selection.)

Oh, Georgia has started wearing hairbows again! Mia is a good influence on her.


One day Blake sent me this pic on my phone, and I said, "Did she grow since last night?"

Today we went to Steak n Shake. She was wearing the paper hat and cleaning the table. I see another potential future career!

This baby doll is as big as her.

Oh, there's a new baby, Carson, at the babysitter's house. Georgia is fascinated by him. She thought she was so big getting to hold him one day. Bekah told me the other day that they were waiting in the school pick up line and Carson started crying, and Georgia said, "No No, baby Carson!"

Here's Mia. She and Georgia decided to be "Christmas Princesses" one day. :)

This is awesome.

Today I had to go to Frankfort for a work thing, and I took the kids. While we were out, I decided to stop in at JCPenney to find those shoes for Nate and see if they had any sales. But I didn't have the stroller with me, and both kids decided to run WILD. It was insane--they would be right there, and the next second they were gone. Fortunately, this was a very small store and it was not terribly crowded. Finally I picked Georgia up and carried her, which she was not happy with. But Nate decided he was going to run laps around the store. It was awful--I kept losing him! I was walking around the store looking for him, and other customers or employees would tell me, "Are you looking for the little boy? He went that way." Finally I caught up to him and made him sit by my feet while I shopped. The whole time I was mortified and equally proud. :) I just wanted to explain to everyone that although he wasn't behaving, it's awesome that he can physically run away from me. :) The greatest was when one man said, "Oh yeah, he went that way, yelling 'Excuse me!' the whole time." Hey, at least he's polite!

LOL Too funny! I had a similar moment in Target last week, when Maddie bolted down an aisle as I called her to follow me...I thought to myself "I never dreamed SHE would be the one I'm chasing!" Oh, and I love the pics of Georgia w/ Mia...Looks like fun!!

Photos are awesome - all of them, but I love the one of Georgia totally decked out in dress up clothes with Mia. And I can imagine how awesome, and awesomely frustrating when you can't find him, it must be to have Nate running away! I totally hope to feel that one day.
