Happy 3rd Birthday, Preston!

Three years ago, Preston James came into our lives.

Today, he says things that crack us up and does things that drive us crazy.

He is the most amazing little boy ... smart, funny, polite, and so much more.

We love you so much, Preston!

SVHS Homecoming 2011

I must work on my photo-taking skills. I'm just not quick enough to catch Preston anymore!

Lilli Jo's first parade. Can you feel her excitement?

Hi Allie!!!

And the Distinguished Alum!

Yesterday was my last day of maternity leave and we didn't have daycare, so I got to spend the day with both of my kiddos!

It was a beautiful day and since mom and Allie were in the parade, we headed over to Volga. We met up with Nichole, Turner, Courtney and Kiera at Nichole's house. Then we walked to Main Street for the parade, then walked to the church to pick up Allie and then walked back to Nichole's house. We essentially walked the perimeter of Volga.

It must have worn Preston out because he zonked out on the way home (around 4:00) and then slept until around 7:00! That also meant that he was up until about 10:00 last night. Sure enough, he was up at the crack of dawn this morning! (I think technically he might have been up before the crack of dawn. I'm pretty sure he beat the sun.)

Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Dad's birthday was this last Wednesday and we had a seafood boil to celebrate.

Yum!!

Sweet baby girl

So hard to believe that she's seven weeks old!

My friends Sheena and Bryan got married last weekend! I played the piano for the ceremony and my mom made the cake (we both came out of retirement just for Sheena! Ok ... mom was retired. I never really had a "career" playing for weddings, but most of my friends are married so I figured I was retired!). It was a beautiful ceremony and the reception and dance was a blast!

Congratulations Sheena and Bryan!

The cake

SO good!!

The wedding party

Serious discussion?

Lilli Jo and Grandpa

The bride and groom!

(He didn't know I was taking their picture!)

Preston kept running behind the table wanting to give Sheena a kiss.

He did, several times, but I wasn't fast enough with the camera.

She got him back and he pretended to be all shy about it!

Grandpa and Preston cuttin' a rug!

That's Sheena's mom, Kris, to the left with Amelie and Lilli Jo. Kris was holding Lilli Jo and Amelie went up to her and said, "I know I can't hold her by myself, but can I hold her with you?" Too cute!
