Prayer Request

The day has finally come for my dear friend Jen LaVere. Her 5-yr-old daughter is undergoing a heart transplant as we speak. Please send all your prayers to Jen, John and Ava. It is the best they could have hoped for given Ava's failing health. God bless them!

Soul Sisters: The Encore Performance

The Soul Sisters performed their usual show of HSM, but this time kicked it up a notch! They threw in the Rice Krispie Treat song, which is not familiar to the average show connoisseur, b/c they made it up. Once the Super Twins' powers were activated, the show was unstoppable. Singing and dancing, these classically AND moderned-trained performers gave it their all. Then promply fell asleep at 8:30p.

The audience consisted of parents, Bitty Babies, Batman twins and Super Baby making a cameo by WALKING on stage! What a show!

Zooventure

Last weekend we went to the zoo. I KNOW, I'm just getting around to posting. Anyhoo, it was a wonderful, sunny day and thoroughly tired everyone out. Lucy even managed to leave behind a favorite shoe.

Happy Birthday DaddyO!

Bestest Friends

Guess Who's Walking?

Lucy Lu finally decided to take a few steps on her own! DaddyO video taped it while Cameron & Jackie cheered her on. Unfortunately, I was in SC yet again and missed it. I've been traveling so much lately that when I order room service, I have to ask the waiter what room I'm in. It's really that bad. Anyway... It appears if Lucy has secretly been practicing walking. She's fairly steady and can even walk sideways and backwards. However, do NOT beg her to show you how she can walk (and talk) b/c she makes it abundantly clear that she does not do a Dog & Pony Show and will walk and talk when she's good and ready. Thank you very much.

Little LuLu

Lucy's personality is finally coming out. One of her favorite things now is bath time, which is truly ironic b/c when we first got her, she HATED it!

Clearly, the bathtub is just another medium for play.

Serpil's Masterpiece

Recently, we asked Serpil to paint a dinosaur picture for Cameron's room. We LOVE it! Serpil is truly gifted.

The Performance

Last month's performance at The Little Gym. Cameron and his buddy, Felton, returned for another semester of wild fun.

Gas Man

Let me just put it out there: Dave has gas issues.

Last month, Dave was on the phone with Loretta, his work wife, when he ran out of gas on the highway. The car started sputtering. He realized what was happening just as he was passing an exit. He jumped on the exit ramp and coasted downhill to the end of the ramp. He turned right and coasted into the gas station and up to the pump. Then laughed his ass off at his pure luck and extreme folly.

So last night I woke up about 3AM, rolled 2 kids off me and turned on my electric blanket. My electric blanket is a recent purchase. It’s a twin rather than a king, because Dave made it abundantly clear that he didn’t want any more heat on his side of the bed. Anyway, when I got up, the thermostat read 59 degrees. Yes, 59 degrees. Guess who forgot to get the gas company to fill up our tank? Yup, the one w/o the electric blanket on his side of the bed.

Underoo's

Sometimes Superheroes work best in their Underoos. Or pink fuzzy over-sized shoes.

For the record, Lucy put these underpants on herself! Now if only she'd walk...

You know you're in the South when...

...you get 3 1/2 snow days because of a snow storm Friday night. Of course, the kids didn't mind it in the least! Julie took ALL of these pictures. Thanks Jules!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Grandma!
