9 months: Leap Frog!

 Here are some "fun" pictures of just us girls.  I'm barely the one in front of the camera because I am usually the one behind the camera.  Well today, Papa snapped some pics of his "ladies" and we're having a good time, just plain old having fun.  Sophia lately has been doing what I would like to call as, "the leap frog" meaning that she rears up on her two knees and then appears to try and "leap" usually when she's at the edge of a surface....ugh.  So I have to stay on top of her!  She's been cruising around (trying to walk while holding on to things) for about the last month and now here recently she likes to let either mine or Papa's hand go so that she can take off on her own.  But we don't think that she is ready yet, so we always stay close by:)

 

Here (below) are some pics from just the other day when she was playing under our dining room table.   Since I have some pictures of Gianna and that age (also playing under the table) I thought that I'd run and get my camera.   But when I came back, she was already on the go!

 

 

These girls, our Gianna-bear and our Sophia-bear, are keeping us on our toes!  And adding a lot of joy to our lives all at the same time.

Happy 9 months old Sophia!  And a Happy Day to Everyone :-)

Tea Time with Our Friends

 

This past weekend we had the priviledge of enjoying a nice cup of tea and some delicious little sandwiches at the Savannah's Tea Room with some of our favorite friends!  Cari, her mommy Angie, and little brother Ryder joined us for a quiet afternoon at the tea room:-)

 

Angie and I had the chicken salad, while Gianna & Cari both had the kids special of pb & j sandwiches, with chips and a side of fruit salad.  We finished off the meal with a little dessert of brownies, cookies and cake.  Ryder, who was as sweet as pie enjoyed his little meal as well!  We had a really great time & the meal was almost as great as the company:-)

 

Thank you to Cari, Angie, and Ryder for helping make it a wonderful afternoon!

A Savory & Sweet Anniversary-Part One

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last weekend we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary.  And we did so, in a two part celebration

:-)  On Friday evening, we enjoyed a delicious meal at Firebirds and then the next morning we got up early and headed south for a "fine" Southern breakfast...shrimp & grits! 

 

After breakfast we headed out to the Windy Hill Apple Orchard (don't ask me why I want to call it "Windy Mill"...maybe because there's a large windmill sitting right in the front of it, lol).  Over at Windy Hill we took a walk through their apple orchards before going over to buy a few items from their farm store and enjoy some hot apple donuts.  We picked about a 1/2 peck of their choice apples before heading back.  Click here to see some of the things that we've made with them.
