Some Pink for the Whites!

What do these 3 sweet boys need? A baby SISTER! Julie found out today that she is having a baby girl in January. I think she is still in shock. We can't wait for them to see how much fun little girls are. Congratulations John, Julie, and boys! We are so excited for you!

Happy Birthday Shelby!

Just a quick post to wish Shelby a very HAPPY 11th BIRTHDAY!!! I will update with more pictures later, but wanted to be sure to acknowledge her special day. We have enjoyed spending the last couple of days with Na-Na and Jimdaddy, and are looking forward to seeing May-May and Paw-Paw on Thursday. More partying to come!

Happy Birthday Laney!

Our sweet Laney Beth is 5 years old today! We celebrated her birthday earlier in the week with Na-Na and Jimdaddy, and again today with our own party after church. She requested a special lunch of McDonalds and wants to go swimming at the neighborhood pool this afternoon. She is very easy to please. She got her very own American Girl doll that is from the "Just Like Me" line, only it doesn't look too much like her. It is the one that she insisted on though, and Laney is very excited about her. She named her Alexis. I am so proud of Laney. She has handled Kindergarten like a champ, and has become such a sweet, smart, independent big girl. We love you, Laney!

Back to School

The girls started back to school this past Monday. Cary had to be at a meeting in Atlanta that morning as well, so it was a very hectic day. Laney started Kindergarten, Marlee the 3rd grade, and Shelby Middle School (6th Grade). I had to have them all ready and out the door by 7 o'clock, and all headed to different schools. They seem to really like their teachers, and we are hoping for a great year.

Meeting Baby Hannah

We were very excited to go to Scottsboro last weekend and meet our new cousin, Hannah Faith. She was born on July 16th. She is so precious, and the girls had a fit over her. Aubrey couldn't keep her hands off of her. We hope it won't be too long before we can see Hannah and her family again.
