An apple a day...


This picture was just too cute not to share! I was eating an apple and Pressy thought it looked pretty yummy so I let her gnaw on it for a little while. She did NOT want to give it back! But it sure made for a cute fall picture -- especially with her little overalls.

Shoesies!

Well, I finally bought the girls their first pair of "real" shoes. I picked them up at Target and think they are adorable!


They're cute, right??


Notice Lyla has a bow in the picture above. Somehow she managed to lose it (and I don't even see it in the picture anywhere!) just before she went after Pressley's new shoes. They do think shoes are fascinating -- like built in toys -- which is especially helpfull in the car!



I also got them some Pedipeds. Lorren and I have been drooling over these adorable shoes for a while now! Lorren found them on ebay with free shipping. I bought them and forgot she had said they only had two pairs -- leaving none for Savannah! But, it worked out to my benefit. They only sent me one pair and when I let them know they sent me the second pair for free! So, Lorren was happy for me. And, she got Savannah some from somewhere else. I think we're all good now.
I don't have any pictures of the girls in these shoes yet, but they have worn them several times and they are absolutely darling! I LOVE them!!

I have had a secret...

I haven't been blogging lately because I have had a secret and its been killing me not to share it!

We are moving back to Greenville!!

We have been praying for the opportunity to move back to Greenville for several months and things have finally worked out! David has taken a wonderful job with Michelin Tire -- one he is very excited about and looking forward to!

We have been going to and from Greenville every weekend for the past few weeks looking for a house and we finally found one that is perfect for us. We made an offer on Saturday and it was accepted last night!

Its a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house with a bonus room. The lower level is my favorite, its completely open, one room flows into the other, which I just love! The yard needs some work and it doesn't have a fence, which we really wanted, but we will fix all that ASAP.

As excited as we are, we are so sad to leave our wonderful friends in the ATL. God has blessed us here in so many ways. Its very clear why he had us here for the past 3 years, to make life-long friendships, get away from "home" for a while and of course, meet the docs that would give us our beautiful baby girls!

But, our house has plenty of room for company, and we are going to get our fence up as soon as possible (so Paul and Erin can bring their dogs!), so.... COME VISIT US!!

Vay-k 2008, Watauga Lake, Baby! Part 1.

Remember this post describing our amazing trip to the beach with David's family?? Well, obviously I don't know how to be selective and narrow down which pictures to post. I've been avoiding blogging about our amazing trip to the lake with my family because, once again, I don't know how to narrow down the slew of pictures. So, I've decided to post in installments. Keep checking back often, I'll try to get through all these pictures soon.

For this first installment of Vay-K 2008, aka Watauga Lake, baby! I'm going to start at the end and post our annual family picture. We took this just before we left the lake house.

And here we are last year, same house, same fireplace, last day there. I had just found out I was pregnant THAT DAY, of course I had no idea we would be returning with TWINS! And, my sister got pregnant while we were there!! So, although it looks like a photo of 8, there are really 11 in this picture, isn't that awesome?? Isn't GOD AWESOME?!? He has been so good to our family!


Oh yeah, and my mom was so proud she was wearing the same outfit in both pictures. So was Cole (same shirt, anyway), but I think he was just copying my mom. He's such a kiss-up.
