Kindersoccer

Heyward recently finished Kindersoccer with the Y. I managed to snag a few cute pics of his season. He did in fact score a goal during a game! He said,"I kicked it really, really hard in that net." I was even more impressed with the coaches! :)

Sweet, Smiley Laurie Beth

Here is my sweet baby girl! I love her with all my heart!
She is beautiful and every bit a gift from God!

Bath time fun!

Now that Laurie Beth is sitting up well and Heyward has taken more of an interest in his sister, bath time is fun!
I wish I could freeze their ages now, except Laurie Beth not sleeping through the night. That could change!
I am so grateful for all the wonderful help D and I have. I know for sure how tough it is with two so young, but our family has been wonderful keeping them and giving D and I time for ourselves. I feel like we are the two luckiest people alive!!!

Just like Deda's

This is what Heyward and Deda like to do when Deda is home from Raleigh. They go up and down the driveway, over and over again.

School Days!

Heyward LOVES school this year! He loves his teacher Miss Cam and can't wait to go each morning to play with his friends. We are learning about colors, shapes, days of the week, letters and numbers. I wish I could freeze time and he could be three years old forever! I love this age. Laurie Beth is still not going along with my tireless efforts to get her to sleep at night. So....by 8:00 each morning, Heyward is jumping around excited about school, Laurie Beth is still wide awake, we are all three fed, bathed and dressed, and I look like I just ran a marathon as well as a little dazed and confused! We are all adjusting to our schedules and I am looking forward to Christmas Break. As exhausted as I am all the time, I thank God I get to do this.

Hey is 3!

My big boy turned three on Saturday and we celebrated with a party at the Sonic yesterday. I am so glad that his friends came and played with him. He was so excited about opening presents and kept asking D and I, "Is this for me?" and "I can keep it?" You would think the poor boy gets no gifts or toys!
Heyward is my heart and I cannot believe how sweet he is. He told me this morning on the way to carry him to stay with Meme that he would miss me but he really wanted to play with Meme and Papa. The day he was born I never thought I could love something or someone so much. Today I am in awe, that yes, I do love him more than the day he was born. I wish my baby boy lots of happiness, health and progress this next year of his life!

Ocean Isle Vacation

Last week we were at the Beach with Becee, Bop and some friends. We had a great time, lots of new experiences, great food and made lots of memories! Heyward went fishing for the first time and did great! He is a true seaman! He also had a little incident with daddy's razor so Becee got him his very own shaving kit so he doesn't have to play with daddy's or slice his lip again. My favorite part was sitting on the beach and eating all the fresh seafood.

Heyward learned how to use a camera as well! Although instead of the photographer centering the subjects, the subjects had to center themselves with the camera!!!

Hey's new shaving kit!

Digging to China!

Smiley with Momma.

Smiley with Daddy.

Smiley!

A.K.A. Laurie Beth

We had a great time! I am so sad that summer is coming to an end. It is truly my favorite season of the year!
