Charity Ball

splish splash!

Marion loves her bath!!She's teething... tooth #2 came in this week... so everything goes in her mouth!

marion's baptism

Our little Marion was baptized on November 15 during the 10:15 mass at St.Thomas Catholic Church! She wore the same gown that big sister Grace wore three years ago for her own Baptism! Little MayMay has two sets of godparents, my brother Daniel and my sister in law Barbara, along with our friends Mandi and Josh. Here is the invitation, courtesy of her godmother...
Isn't it precious!! (Obviously, our names weren't off center at the bottom, I just photoshopped our last name off for the sake of the internets!!)

Marion's sweet christening necklace was a gift from Mandi and Josh.

Grace and Lindsey

Can you see the candle in this picture?? I decorated it myself! It has crystals that make a cross and Marion's monogram!

pumpkin patch

We made our 3rd annual visit to Mitchell Farms in Collins, Mississippi. As always, so much fun!

we have forward movement!

Yes, forward movement, and a TOOTH!

The tooth arrived a week ago, on October 30th. It's so cute, sticking up another millimeter every day! Marion is breezing through teething so far with little to no complaining... I'm a lucky Mama, Grace never complained much either.

And just today, forward movement!!! Not that she hasn't been mobile, she has- rotating and rolling wherever she wanted to go. She got so super fast at it, I thought she may never crawl! Today, with some inspiration... our fancy schmancy remote control... she did sort of an "army crawl." Her little tummy only left the ground for a fraction of a second, if at all, with each pull forward. Hopefully with some practice, she'll be cruising on all fours soon!

halloween night 2009

Trick or Treat!!!

This is how the night started out in our neighborhood...2 fairies knocking... but no answer!

maybe we were too early... it was only 4 o'clock... or maybe our neighbors just weren't in the spirit this year!
We loaded up in the car and headed out to a friend's neighborhood. They had planned a really fun hayride...

can you see my witch hat?

She was so excited for every house!

I guess fairy was the "it" theme this year!
