Home Depot Kids Club.

We discovered the Home Depot Kids Club last summer while I was pregnant. It is the first of every month and it is a fantastic bonding experiance for Seth and Willow. They really enjoy working on the free projects Home Depot sponsors and even though Seth suffers sore thumbs afterwards, he never misses a Saturday. What a good daddy!

Look how big I am!

It's Aidan and he is standing! During the school day Aidan likes to crawl to Willows room to see if she is there. His favorite thing to do is to pull up onto here bed so that he is standing in front of her vanitys huge mirror so that he can see himself. Another favortie hobbie shared by both children is bouncing on the bed (while we are there of course). Both giggle uncontrollably as they catch air and try to avoid landing on top of each other. It really is quite a sight. Well, Dad has duty today and I am supposed to finish packing, so I wll post new Autum pictures of the kids Monday. P.S. Our house goes on the market Monday and we already have a potential buyer comming to look at it. Cross your fingers.

Patriotic tree.

Hello all! Here is a patriotic tree that Willow and I crafted together. I have a mini white tree that we use during Christmas, but I wanted to utilize it year round so Willow and I decided to decorate it to match the rest of the house. We found the little grungy stars, Americana accessories, and star fabric at www.hugsandstitches.com, for under $20.00. We also bought a very small strand of clear lights at the dollar store and a roll of small rope at Big lots for a $1. When we were ready to construct the tree we cut the fabric and the rope into pieces long enough to tie onto the ornaments and then onto the tree. Then we used any leftovers to make tiny bows for the rest of the branches. Lastly, we added the lights and......volia! We have it displayed so when the neighborhood kids come to call for Willow, they can see it from the front door. You don't need a tree for this, you can do it with a plant or even a bush.

Two of a kind.

Oh no! You are probally leaning sideways to look at this photo. Unfortunatly, like all of the other posts....I am in a hurry (you can tell by my horriffic spelling and grammatical errors...lol). This is a picture taken of Willow and Aidan last night in front of my huge Texas Star. I have quite a collection going of all types of stars and the kids just love them. My next post will be of a patriotic tree I crafted complete with details. Also, I will be taking a photo of the kids this weekend at the church pumpkin patch, so look for that sometime Monday. Off to pick up Willow from school now.

Many years of happiness for sale.

We began signing paper work with the real estate agent last night and on Monday our home will be placed on the market. It is both sah and exciting as we move toward the next step in our lives. When I have the link for the home tour I will post it. The tour is really neat, it is like walking through our home and seeing it yourself. Most of you have never been here so it will be nice to share a glimpse of the home where we have lived in for many happy years. Love you all!

Goodbye Old Friend.

On Friday we said a very sad and emotional goodbye to Seths Gran Torino; however, we were thrilled that we donated it to a young disabled Marine in need. The young man was seriously injured during the battle of Fallujah.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to the Number One man in our lives! Our Marine, Hero, Husband, and Great Father!!!! Happy Birthday Seth!!!!

We are soooo attractive!

Not so much attractive as possessed! At least Willow can pull off this look.

Willow is doing fantastic at Christian Living Water!

This year Seth and I decided to enroll Willow in a Private Christian school which has truly transformed her. Her speech is better, her academic work has dramatically improved and she is recieving a Christian background as well. In October she will be participating in two clubs, Spanish and Sign Language. Besides attending school, she is enjoying her ballet and tap class. She aspires to be an actress and we are confident that she will reach her goal, since she is our little drama QUEEN!

Baby and Me.

Aidan went to his playgroup this morning and had a wonderful time! There were many other little ones for him to play and explore with. Oooooh, just look at adorable face.

Little Rebel

Most of you are familiar with this photo, but for those of you who are not, this was taken last in late July before Aidan recieved his mini military haircut. He and Willow are growling at the camera and Aidan is ready to take a bite out of the nearest object or person. These two are so full of personnality, so much so, that Seth and I are never bored. Willow and Aidan always seem to have a great time and it wasn't until recently that the word boredom entered into Willows vocabulary. Seth is busy putting away DVD's.

Two front teeth.

Aidan is cutting his two top teeth!

Last days of summer in the Carolinas.

Here is Aidan and Willow in the front yard enjoying the warm air. Summer is happily comming to an end and the cool fall air is moving in. As you can see, Aidan is now standing and is beginning to walk along the furniture. Willow is blowing bubbles as well as eating them. Yep. These two really enjoy one anothers company and Aidan has even begun crawling down the hall to see if Willow is in her room (usually she is at school). His hobbies include pulling Willows hair as well as pulling DVD's out of the entertainment center. Willow loves to dance.

Launching...Lift OFF!

Hello everyone! Last week I began taking Aidan to a Mommy and Me playgroup aboard New River Airstation where Seth is stationed. Upon checking in the ladies where kind enough to give me a welcome packet which containd a wealth of useful information, such as this website. I have decided that instead of sending individual emails, I will just update this site at least twice a week with new information. Please feel free to interact and I will upload photos of the kids soon. ~Christina
