you know you are cool...

Wow- you know you are cool when your mom calls you to tell you that New Kids On The Block are on tv. How old am I and what year is this????

Great Weekend

Thursday was out anniversary. Rusty and I went out to dinner at Stoney River we were leaving Friday morning for Kentucky so my folks just kept the kids (thanks a lot!! not only do they watch T during the week, they had him this weekend too). I went (was told that I had to go since we don't have the kids so no excuses) to swimming with Rusty on Friday ( I survived). Then we were off to Kentucky. When we got up to Lexington we went to the bookstores. We grabbed some pizza and watched some games. Our hotel room looked out onto the race track (on Saturday we could see some horses) it was pretty cool. We actually sat in seats (not up in the bleachers) so that was pretty cool (it really doesn't matter where you sit just being in Rupp is pretty cool). Luckily, the Cats played well and then we drove home. My folks had come over to our house to put the kids to sleep. Sunday we took it easy and Rusty went to the falcons game. Both kids have been coughing so hopefully that will be it and we can get them well this week. I am looking forward to the next few weeks (birthdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas). I am a little concerned that my tree will have a rough Christmas (Thomas is into everything and I am sure the ornaments will be what he will go for).

Annie Rees

I wish I had pictures, but I forgot my camera, but I wanted to give a shout out to my ninth niece. We just went down to the hospital to see Jean Ann and Whit's new baby, Annie Rees. She is 6lbs 1oz and is so little (especially because all I have to compare her to is our little ones who start out rock solid 8lbs 7oz and 8lbs 8oz). Anyway, she is a cutie! I will post pictures when we see her again in a few days. She has really cute little toes and fingers.

This week

This has been a pretty calm week. Thomas' ears seem to be a lot better (we are going back to the doctor, but just a quick check up to make sure his ears are fine). Frances has started coughing so I have started giving her extra treatments. Hopefully after one more night of waking her up every four hours, she will be back on track. Right now, I am just wondering where she gets all of her energy from (she has been singing upstairs for an hour). Thomas has now realized how to climb up the stairs to go down the slide in the playroom. He loves to walk behind the little car that mom and dad have. We also have a little pool that I put balls into that he loves to just take a dive in. He started making some awesome faces- I will try to get some photos. Frances has been doing great with the potty training. It hasn't been too long that she has been going to school with big girl panties (those who have kids can understand how exciting it is that she has gone #2 in the potty all week) awesome!!! Yep, these are the things that make me happy- how old am I?

Weekend

We started off Saturday with having folks over for bourbon and bacon and then to watch the games. Basically, a pretty typical weekend of watching football. Today, the kids and I skipped church to head up to see Nana. I used to be able to get up there quite a bit, but since t has been here it has been tough to make the hour trip up there, but they have both not been sick for like two weeks (except t's usual ear infection) so I decided we needed to head up there. They did a great job on the drive up. We got there and Thomas loved the walkers and wheel chairs. He was talking to everyone and making faces at everyone. Frances was hamming it up too. This one lady was was out visiting with us. She said her daughter had just died and she had the first doll she was ever given. She brought is out and Frances rocked the baby doll and burped the baby doll (she actually burped nana too). The lady was so excited watching Frances. Before we left, we walked Nana to the lunchroom to sit at her table (she also likes for the whole room to see the kids). I told Frances to wave to everyone and she ran up to a few of the ladies and gave them big hugs. I didn't think I was going to get her out of there- they loved it!

Pics

I wanted to get some pics of the 4 of us. Check them out (here are just a few- there were a lot). Sarah came over to the house and the kids did pretty well...

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween. Rusty took Miss Frances out and Thomas and I sat on the front stairs (he had just started medicine for his ear infection and has been sick). I took pics from the front porch. The first stop a boy in a warewolf costume scared her and she was a little shy the rest of the night.

My sister was here to watch the tech/fsu game this weekend so we got to see her crew. Katherine, Lauren, Nick, Terri and Chris were up here. We hung out for a bit Friday, but like I said above T-was sick and barfing that day so we didn't get to hang out as much as I would have liked. Everyone was feeling better today so we went over to see everyone this morning. Terri, Lauren and Katherine did get to go to Frances' school of Friday to see her room (really at the parties all she wants to do is eat).

Frances

Here is just a video of Frances. They take spanish at Mt Pisgah and there is a lot that she can say in spanish(she knows more than me).
