Date Night

The men of our SS class decided to organize an after Valentine's date night. I have to say I was impressed. Catered dinner, a photographer, a talented live band and dancing. We had such a good time! Thanks guys and Vicki who helped them out!


Check out our band Take 3.

More Snow

It started snowing again on Friday afternoon. It took Ryan forever to make it home from work. We all know Southerners cannot drive in snow so the interstate was a mess. Not really believing that it would snow for more than five minutes, Tessa and I bundled up and played outside.

Of course, when Daddy finally made it home, he wanted to play in the snow too. Amazingly, it was still snowing - huge fluffy flakes.

We attempted snow angels but discovered snow ball fights were much more fun. Ryan managed to get a snowball down the back of my jeans which he and Tessa thought was hilarious.

When we woke up Saturday morning we were greeted by at least 5 inches of beautiful, powdery snow. We dug out the ski jackets and went out to play.

Our little family and our snow family.

Anabelle had a blast chasing snow balls up and down the hill. By afternoon, all the snow had melted but the memories will last a lifetime.

Geaux Saints

Daddy had a few friends over to watch the big game. My little socialite didn't want to be left out and used every delay tactic in the book before going to bed. It's hard to be strict when she's so cute!

Fast, fast, fast!

Tessa, Anabelle and I spend a lot of time walking on the path behind our house. Tessa loves to cruise by the ponds and look for ducks and geese. Usually we practice our numbers by counting the geese, and sometimes we feed them too. Other times Anabelle just chases the geese until they fly away honking indignantly. It's an entertaining way to get some fresh air and exercise.

One day, Tessa was fidgety and to distract her I started jogging with our big stroller. She loved it! From then on she always wanted to go fast, fast, fast! So, we recently invested in a jogging stroller. One child, three strollers! It's great and, as you can see by the huge smile, Tessa loves it. She's my little cheerleader and keeps me going when I get tired. "No slow Momma! Fast, fast fast!"
