OLIVIA:
Olivia just started going to school 5 days a week at the Village Preschool with Mrs. Sonia and Mrs. Julie. And she LOVES it!! She has already learned sooo much!! She has been in quite a few schools and this is the first one where she actually wants to go to school! (could it be the chocolate milk she gets on M and F??)We are so excited! Thank you to her fabulous teachers!!
(they came to all of the children's houses the week before school stared!)
JULIANA:
Juliana started a new school, too! She's at First United Methodist and she luuuuuuves Mrs. Whitney!! She, too, loves going to school and never cries when we drop her off. As soon as i sit her down, she yells, "BYE MOM. I paint!" She has brought home so pretty amazing artwork!
You should click on the above picture to really see the look of horror on Liv's face as she drops her red popsicle on the ground. Poor thing... Juliana shared her blue one.
Liv is forever in dressup clothes... but... as sad as it is, i think we are going to drop ballet. She just doesn't want to go. I'm bummed about that-- but don't most kids LiKE going?
Here's my Dear ol' Dad... making his famous breakfasts during our weekend trip to Atlanta. While he was slicing the bacon, and purposely NOT looking at his annoying daughter with the camera, i said, "hey dad, you're going to want to remember exactly how you fixed the bacon one day," and he looked at me and laughed...
Here's my hottie hubby with my young'uns... walking into a wedding reception.
Speaking of weddings... here are my Parents on their Wedding day!! Ahhh... how sweet!!! and YOUNG! Wow!!
Here's my sweetest (and beautiful) mama holding Juliana... she's not smiling big due to the fact that this was just the day after Buffy (her best-friend doggie) passed away. I love you, Mommy. I miss Buffy, too.
And here is our reason for the recent visit to Atlanta... my dearest Grandmother has been ill and we were there to see her and hopefully cheer her up. Liv did a good job making her smile for sure. We all love our Anna so very much.
And here's sweet one-day-old Baby Layla Tucker... We think of Nate and Stacey as part of the family and are so happy to have a new baby girl "cousin" !
I've got some GREAT pics of my sister's children Kyla and Matthew on the way... but they are not finished... can't wait to show you those!
OK! Guess that's all the family updating I'll do for now. We are off to Myrtle Beach for a week!! I'm overly excited about just spending LOTS time with my girls... and NOT at my computer. I'll still be checking emails.. (of course) and Rachel my trusty assistant will still be booking those mini-sessions, Christmas-card sessions, and Fall sessions!!
And I've still got albums galore at my door!! Ready for pick up! I just got them in tonight, but if you want to get yours before i get back from vacation, you can!
Borst,Grot,Mann,Cook,Burns
Come and gehhhhhhhhhhhtttt 'em!!
If they are not picked up tomorrow, the house-sitters will bring them back in.
Be ready for my mega-random FB picture posts this week at the beach!!
love,
carrie
