January Randoms

Rowan started walking this month!  Let the good times roll!  I have the cutest video of her walking but unfortunately she's completely naked so I'm not going to blast it all over the internet.  I don't think she'd ever forgive me!

These are just some randoms off my phone.

  This picture was to make her cousin Avery jealous, he loves Elmo!  Rowan's very first bow!  Reese was much older before I could get anything to stay in her hair!  Reese lost her first top tooth!

Those Poor Texans

Now that Reese is in first grade and learning so many new things we have some very interesting conversations.  I can tell that she is trying to think and apply all the things she is learning to her every day life.  Case in point our conversation this morning.  I told Reese to go to her room and put on her brown boots.  Here is what followed:

Reese:  "Mommy, you know these boots remind me of cowboy boots.  I know they don't look a whole like cowboy boots but that's what they make me think of."  *sigh* "Those poor, poor people in Texas.  They don't have any water to drink!"

Me:  "Baby, they have water to drink.  They have lakes and streams just like us"

Reese:  "No they don't, they are in DESERT!"

Me:  "Reese, anyone that lives in the desert have pipes that bring them water from other places."

Reese:  "Oh, but really we should help them get food because they don't have any!"

Me:  "They have grocery stores that bring food."

Reese:  "No they don't!  I guess they could go out and just kill a snake and eat it."

LOL, LOVE HER!

New Year's in NC

We haven't visited NC for the holidays in quite awhile since I was recovering from my c-section at Thanksgiving last year and this year we were in Disney.  So, we decided to make a quick visit over the New Year.  It was the first time in years that I didn't eat hog jowls!  I never seem to get my camera out when we visit but I did take a few shots.  We even went to see David's aunts on his dad's side and that was a blast as usual!

Ro loved to look out the window and watch the dog next door.
