Jake Eats Cereal

Jake starts out by trying out his new highchair.

Last week, Jake got to try cereal for the first time. Despite being the third child, it was still so much fun. It was just awesome watching him experience something new. He acted, however, as if he'd done it a hundred times before! No funny faces.....just miles of smiles as if he'd been waiting for the moment.

First Daddy gets a turn....



then Emma gets a turn.....




Finally, Hannah gets a turn.

Wheeee, Dad! More, more...this is awesome!

Oh Boy - This stuff rocks!!


What do you mean it's all gone??!

Jake Meets the Wilson Clan

After the UGA game , we headed over to Chalybeate to see Nana and let Jake have a chance to meet his great grandmother.
Nana and Jake get a chance to get to know each other. Jake is still worn out from our Athens tail-gating!

Uncle James and Jake share some together time.

Nana and the girls get cozy.

Emma finds a nice place to nap on Bobo's lap.

Ballerina Emma

After months of waiting, it was finally time for Emma to attend her very first ballet lesson. Since I grew up dancing, I think I was just as excited as she was. Her teacher, Ms. Maryan, was just wonderful! Very professional and structured in a very classic setting. Emma struggled a litte with the foot positions, but did great with tap. We can't wait to see how she progresses.

Emma practices ballet positions. She told me after class was over that it was hard and didn't want to go back! I think I've convinced her, though, to give it another shot. Either way, she sure was cute!!

GO DAWGS!!

Jake and I take a little breather from all the activity.

Hannah and her friend SaraAshley enjoy some time together, playing on her bunk.

My friend, Katherine, and I spend some time catching up.

Emma and Jake get some snuggle time.

For the opening game of the UGA season, we loaded up the RV (our dog included!) and headed to Athens. It was a fun time and we got to visit with some friends as well. Overnight tail-gating in Athens was like nothing I've ever experienced. Let's just say there actually other UGA fans that are more fanatical than Paul!

Happy Birthday, Paul!

For Paul's 34th birthday, we had a low-key celebration and headed to Pizza Man. This is a local place that makes great pizza and is Paul's favorite place to eat. They have a glass window into the kitchen so the children can watch the pizza being made. It's a lot of fun and very entertaining.


Hannah holds up Emma so they can both enjoy the pizza show.

Jake wishes Daddy a happy birthday.



Birthday wishes from a three-year old!

Emma's First Day of School

Emma shows off her new dress and backpack for the first day of 3-year old preschool. She was very excited and anxious to get going. Hannah had already been at school for a week and she couldn't understand the delay for her own school.

Emma finds her cubby and explores her ner classroom.

Emma talks to her new teacher, Mrs. Williams, and gets all settled for the first day.

Emma finds her best friend, MacKenzie, from last year. They are so happy to be in the same class again.
