Holiday Fun!
































Tracy and I brought the kids over to Jenny's House so that her Mom could see them all. Mrs. Karen had the dinning room set up for all the kids. They all had hot chocolate with whip cream and homemade beignets. Poor Drew was the only boy as usual...but he is always such a good sport! Anna was with us too. I like watching Jenny and Elaine interact with all the kids. The kids played and picked oranges off the trees and fed the fish in the pond. Mrs. Karen will be a wonderful Grandmother one day! Then we took all the kids to Tracy's and played for the rest of the day. I know they had fun because mine fell asleep on the way home!!! The best part of the day is watching all the kids playing and laughing together. (We missed having Natalie and Jack, Bridget and Charley, and all the Straughan's too!)

CHRISTMAS DAY!

















I didn't think the girls would ever go to bed on Christmas Eve! They were just so excited about Santa coming. Then we all woke up at about 4 am because Tatum had the croup cough! Just a wonderful beginning to the day. So we loaded her up with medicine and gave her breathing treatments ever few hours. She had a great day even though she stayed in her pj's all day. Reagan loves her 4 wheeler and Tatum loves her jeep that MawMaw and PawPaw got for them. They love to ram each other like bumper cars! We had a wonderful Christmas. But, I am on to Wayne....I think he really got the Wii for himself!!!!

Christmas Time!


We have had such a great Christmas. Saturday Night we went to Wayne's Family Christmas Party. The kids don't get to see each other often so when they get together they have so much fun. It is always fun with all of Wayne's Family together!

All I Want For Christmas...


Reagan was having a problem with her loose tooth. Her gums were swollen and infected, so we went to visit DDS. Mickey Dragon yesterday. He said the best thing to do was to pull both of them because her big teeth were right there and had no where to go because her baby teeth were blocking them. So he pulled them! Reagan was so good! Her teeth were so loose that they came right out...they didn't even have roots holding them in! So last night the tooth fairy came to visit us!

THE CIRCUS!











Yesterday we went to the Circus with Kristie and Kylie. It was such a yucky rainy day, but we had a great time. We got the VIP treatment from "Scooter the Clown," aka Kristie's Uncle George. The girls got to meet all the other clowns and he sat next to them during the show. Reagan and Kylie even rode on an elephant. It was the perfect ending to a great holiday weekend!

Thanksgiving


We had a really wonderful Thanksgiving. Reagan and Tatum were so excited to meet their new baby cousin Avery.

Sleeping Like Angels!
We had such a great time being over the Thanksgiving Holidays. Drew slept over and we had him hanging out with us during the week while Bridget went to work. The kids had so much fun. We went to the park and met Tracy, Katherine and Lauren. All of the kids had so much fun together. When Bridget picked Drew up that afternoon he fell asleep in the car at around 4 pm and he didn't wake up until morning!!!

Soccer is Over!!!




Reagan is so upset that the soccer season is over. Wayne and I are thrilled that we don't have to be at 8am games on Saturdays anymore!!! All the kids really got along great. Today we have the soccer party and they get awards!

Reagan Update

The biopsies came back fine. Reagan goes back to the doctor on Tuesday to get the stitches out. Thanks for all the prayers. We have not decided if we will have the mole removed. It seems like such a crazy surgery for her to have on something that might not ever bother her again.

Reagan's Doctor Visit

Reagan was so brave!
This is "BEFORE" and you can see the mole they cut off her arm.

This is the "AFTER" picture showing her stitches
Yesterday we went to the Dermatologist about the problem with Reagan's birthmark/mole on her neck. About a week ago we noticed a bump in the center of it. Of course the doctor did not like the change in her "congenital nevi". So she took a biopsy of the center of it and then Reagan got stitches. Then the doctor also removed a mole on Reagan's arm. Reagan watched her cut it off! Reagan was so good about the whole thing, she didn't even cry. The doctor and the nurse told her about how the 12 and 13 year old boys cry and go nuts, so that made Reagan's day! We hope to get the results back soon.....

TRICK-or-TREAT!

Reagan was a Witch

Drew is so Cute!


























We had a great Halloween. I know that the kids had a great time too! We had a big group and we went to Eden Isles. It was so much fun!

Halloween Party at School

Crazy Class Picture
Reagan's turn at the relay race

PawPaw and Mr. Bones


Reagan signed PawPaw up to bring "Mr. Bones" to school to show her class. All the kids kept asking, Where's the butt? Where's the blood and brain? Oh, it was lots of fun! Then her class played games and had a Halloween Party.

Reagan and Lauren




Tatum had the best time at the PartyLast weekend was crazy. We never stopped running around. Saturday morning we had an 8am soccer game...those are my favorite because that is exactly what I want to do on a Saturday Morning!!! Then we went to Charley's 1st Birthday Party. I love watching all the kids play together. Then it was a really big night for Reagan. She went to her 1st slumber party! Lauren wanted Reagan to sleep over so Tracy took Reagan home with her after Charley's Party. Then Sunday we had Anna's 3rd Birthday Party. The kids had a great time and so did Wayne and I.
