Savannah's Baptism!

Nearly a month ago, we had Savannah baptized. We had the ceremony and reception at Greenspring Village because it was important to us that Grandma Isabel & Grandpa Ted be there. The girls are so lucky to have 4 great grandparents...we cherish our time with them. It was an absolutely beautiful day full of family and friends. The only things missing were Jessica, the Belward's & the Moore's! 

Our pastor from Wesley (Reagan's school) came over to do the baptism. We have nicknamed Savannah "Church Baby" because she just lights up when she hears Pastor Janet's voice and either coos and plays or naps during the service:) 

Grandma got Reagan a cake like this, so of course, Savannah must have the same treatment! 

Papa and his girls.


All dressed for her big day!

Grandma and her best girl!

I adore this picture. Reagan was so upset and Papa was consoling her. Such a sweet moment.

The ceremony was short and Pastor Janet threw enough water on Savannah that she won't need swimming lessons, but we had a reasonably happy girl throughout.


Presenting her to the tribe:)

So glad Ms. Spurlock (the preschool director) and Ms. Brenda (Reagan's teacher) could be there!

MeeMaw & Grandma!

Cole, Colin & Geoffrey - should have ditched the Snapple bottle!

Beautiful Amanda holding her girl!

Savannah was having a blast with Aunt Sheri's necklace!

This was moments before Savannah upchucked on Uncle Scott:)

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
