future groupie.....

Still have more pictures of our past 6 weeks to post.....coming soon!

Last night, right at bedtime, Lee turns on the TV. Will was sleepyly playing....you know....we were in the calm down and get ready for bed part of the night.....when all of a sudden, he heard music.

It probably was cuter/funnier to us because A. he is our child and B. we saw it in person.....but nonetheless.....this cracked us up. And part of the humor was that he went from being quiet and still to on his feet dancing in half a second flat. He was truly moved by this music! : ) I only wish we could've caught the first minute on video....he was getting down! I thought Liza loved music....but I have never seen her get down like this.....at least not at this age..... We think it was his way of trying to tell us to quit playing veggie tales and give him some real music. : )

6 week summary

Before the Cow posting (see below), I have not posted anything since Liza's first day of MMO. MMO this summer was 6 weeks long, and tomorrow is her last day, so I have not posted in 6 weeks. Where does a month and a half go?

Lee and I took a wonderful and much needed weekend getaway to New Orleans. It was so good to have just some "us" time. It truly was one of my favorite vacations in a long long time. We ate and ate and ate, walked and talked, people watched, did some looking at ideas for our home ...... We really just enjoyed being together......and I have absolutely no pictures to show for it! : )

The next weekend, we went to Lee's parents house for a "stay-cation." A vacation where you stay at home..... Due to scheduling between vacation bible schools, softball, baseball, basketball camps, working, etc. it was hard to find a week for the beach. So, we took the beach to MeMe and PapPaws! It was the weekend of the 4th of July..... We had a blast! I will post pictures soon.

I think the next couple of weekends after that, we have been cleaning brick. We have collected (with much help from Lee's oldest brother and dad!) brick from an old school house close to where Lee grew up. It is beautiful old brick.....we are going to use it for the floors in our kitchen and breakfast room. I have yet to take a picture......but hopefully I will get one before the whole process is finished.

Our lot is completely cleared.....we hope to officially begin building next week!!! More to come on that, as well.....

Kids:
Growing and soooo much fun right now. Despite the challenges of Will still napping twice a day and the hot, hot summer, we still manage to make it to the park or pool most every day. Liza and Will are truly starting to act like "real" brothers and sisters. They play together and fuss together. They talk to each other.....Liza will say his words when she thinks he isn't getting it in hers. : ) She has really become a little mamma..... She greets him every morning with a huge hug and, "Mornin Weeee-uullll!" The second she wakes up she asks for him. If he cries she says, "comin wee-ul. I gotchu. Its ok weee-ull." So sweet.

Other than that......life has just been normal Lee and Liz happenings. We have joined a church here, really started making some good friends, and are just happy happy! We miss, you, our sweet GA family! : ) But, we have really seen God at work here.....and we are growing more and more together in Him everyday..... We are blessed!

Okay.....that is all for our updates......I typed this out sooo fast while I had a sec....please excuse any bit that doesn't make sense.....hopefully when I have a bit of time again I will get more pictures up......I first have to find my camera battery! Chick-fil-a was on another camera.....so it got posted first!

Enjoy!

moo

So if you know me (and I would think you do if you are reading this.....), you know I love to save money where I can......and if something is free?......well, I might just do a dance.


Or........I could dress up my whole family for free Chick-fil-a!



(I love these first 3 pictures of Will!!!) : )





Little Liza not wanting to wear her ears.....



This sums up Liza in a picture:



Lee might just kill me for posting this......however, he did it.....the worst of it is over. : )



here is a video I shot at Wal-Mart after our fun night......and yes - we went to wal-mart dressed like cows.













If the picture above of Liza with her head-band in her mouth didn't sum her up.....this video does! This video was taken on accident, I guess, because it is only 2 seconds long.....but if you watch Liza.....you will see her little 25 month old personality perfectly. Smiling and sassy!












sweet little Will.....he is growing up on us so fast!
