Mac's Room

I've gotten a couple of "You did what!?" when telling people I painted Mac's wall black yesterday. But really, I think you should take into consideration what else I did to it before thinking the worst...The only wall I painted was the wall you see as you walk into his room, right under his bed.

Father Daughter Dance


Mike took Mikayla to the Lexington County Library's First Annual Father Daughter Valentine Dance tonight. Here are the pictures, from prepping before hand, to going to our neighbors (Jessie is the daughter, Chip the father), to playing in Mikayla's room afterwards. Everyone had a great time, even (especially?) the moms. (I tried to get a good picture of Mikayla's curls, as we all know I am jealous if her hair) The profession picture was done at the dance.















Mac's Karate


Mac is now a blue belt white stripe in Aikido. It's a step between yellow belt (which he was) and full blue belt.

It's Snowing!

We moved to SC so that the kids would not grow up without ever seeing snow. This morning we got our wish. We hope you enjoy the pictures as must as we enjoyed our brief brush with winter.

All Mikayla wanted for Christmas was an umbrella. See her new scarf?

Those big white fluffy things? That is snow.


You cannot have snow without a snowball fight....

OR a snowman!


This is so fun!!!


And then the snow turned into rain.....
