Okay, I am almost totally caught up on blogging. Whew! I frantically uploaded all the pictures while I was home this afternoon, thinking I could comment and edit the posts at work. Well, I thought wrong. I updated pictures all the way back to our trip home in October. It is posted in 3 installments (although it shows up as 4, since the b'day posted twice ????). We had such a good time when we were home, it really made us miss being close to family and friends, which are soooooooo important to us! We started our trip in Vicksburg, then went to Guin, then to Birmingham to hang with the Thiens and have dinner with Shaley, Corie & Matt, Aunt Jan and kids. We then went back to H'burg to spend the rest of our stay. Lauren flew in while we were home and we got to spend lots of time together as a whole family. Hard for us to do, since most of us live on opposite sides of the world!
We spent Halloween in H'burg and went to Zoo Boo one night and trick-or-treated the next. The girls loved getting to wear their costumes twice!
While we were home, the girls had their birthdays. They got to have 2 joint parties, one at Nana and Grandpas, and the other at Mimi & PopPop's. They had lots of fun, but I don't think we can convince them that it's fun to have joint parties much longer!
We got to go to USM's homecoming game which was a BLAST! We took both girls and went with our friends the Tharps. Laura Kate and Emerson acted like they were best friends and had so much fun watching the game together and showing off their eagle tattoos! Macie loved to cheer and will break out in S-OU-THERN, Southern Mississippi, USM! whenever we wear a t-shirt or drink out of a USM cup! I'll have to try to get it on video and post it (someday).
Okay, so i just signed back in and some of my comments are showing up and some are not. Go figure! But, in any case, enjoy the pictures. I have no idea why the birthday montage posted twice, and there is a Halloween picture on the Christmas montage. Remember, I did this quickly and then wrote during the middle of the night. I apologize for any typos! My next posts will include all the fun things we did during nana & grandpa's visit. Enjoy!!!

Thanksgiving Art 2008
We didn't do much for Thanksgiving this year b/c I had to work, but we did get a new doormat made that we have been wanting to make for a couple of years. I think it turned out pretty cute!
Emerson's New Bike
Once we got back from MS, we decided we needed to get Emerson a bike. We wanted to get her one during the summer, but never got around to it. And, I didn't want to wait untl Christmas, so we got one for her really for no reason at all! She hopped on the bike and took off and, so far, has not had any major falls, just a couple here or there. If we had someplace really safe for her to ride, I might try to let her go without the training wheels, but there just isn't anyplace safe for her to try on her own yet! We'll let her get a little more confident with the training wheels......
Celebrating Emerson & Macie's Birthdays
Here are some pics from the girls' birthday parties at both Nana & Grandpa's and Mimi & PopPop's
Good times in Mississippi Oct/Nov 2008
These are just some random pictures from all the fun we had on our trip to MS in October. We started off in Vicksburg for a few days, then went to my Grandmother's house in Alabama, met up the the Thiens in B'ham for some good times, had dinner at my cousin Shaley's house and got to visit with her and some of my other family. Then we went to Hattiesburg for pretty much the rest of our stay. Aunt Lauren flew in and had a good time with the girls. We went to USM's homecoming game with the Tharps and had a GREAT time! Everytime we pull out a USM cup or t-shirt, Macie breaks out in S-OU-THERN, Southern Mississippi, U-S-M!! And then, if we say Go, Eagles!, she says To the TOP! So stinkin' cute! I think football really made an impression on her!
