you are my sunshine...

a mother's love

I got to take pictures for one of my best friends this week.  She is amazingly strong and an incredible mother.  Sweet Cooper is such a fighter... Here is their story.  Please pray for healing for this precious baby boy and strength for his family during this difficult time.

Back to school time!!

Genevieve went back to school this week.  I am really excited about her class and her teachers this year.  Ms. Laura, Ms. Jamie and Ms. Amy all seem wonderful and excited to be in a room full of 2 year olds.

I made her sweet teachers these fun little cookie jars as a beginning of the year gift.

Summer has come and gone...

Once again Summer has come and gone and I find myself wondering where the time went. We spent a lot of time at the Birmingham Zoo this summer.  Genevieve absolutely loves the splash pad there and, as always, really enjoys the animals.  I guess she takes after her mother in that regard, seeing as how I have drug Kevin to the Zoo in every major city we have ever visited.  We also spent a few afternoons at the McWane Center, especially on days when the weather wasn't so nice.  There was a Dora the explorer exhibit there this summer that was perfect for her age.  It feels like we have been on the road quite a lot as well, visiting Auburn and Prattville and of course spending time at the beach.  All in all it has been a great summer, and in a lot of ways I am sad to send my little angel back to school.  But, all summers must end, and on the bright side Auburn kickoff is only a week and a half away!!
 I have not posted any pics since June.  So here are quite a few from the last couple of months....

This was taken with my phone, so the quality is not great....But she just loves the splash pad!

Kevin took some pics of his little Diva....

....and silly monkey!

Besties!

June, in the front yard

Genevieve and I played in the front yard this afternoon while waiting on Daddy to get home.  Of course, I couldn't resist taking some pics of my little sweetie.  Here are my favorites.....

Things I'd like to teach her....

Birthday Party Day!!

We had Genevieve's 2nd Birthday Party on Saturday at McCallum Park in Vestavia.  It was such a fun Elmo party!  The weather was perfect and Genevieve had a blast with all her buddies.
