Long time, No Updates!

Hello All, I have proved to be a very poor blogger in these last few months. So much has passed since my last update. Our beautiful girls both had birthdays! Addison turned 4 and Ansley turned 2 (tear). They are growing up so fast and frankly it makes me sad. We had a big joint birthday bash with an Ariel & Nemo theme. Addison pretends she is a "real live mermaid" and Ansley LOVES Nemo & Dory. SO naturally a joint underwater party seemed perfect! Charlotte and I started a company called Cotton Candy Cottage. We sew and embroider children's gifts/clothing and bridal party gifts. We have a website www.cottoncandycottage.net and an etsy site https://www.etsy.com/shop/CottonCandyCottage. We were asked to sell items on Zulily in January and this has kept us VERY busy. I blame trying to actually work again on my lack of blog updates! :) We are so thankful to have this opportunity and it is proving to be somewhat successful so we are very pleased with our work so far. We went to Vero for Mother's Day and Grandaddy & Mimi surprised the girls with a new playset in their back yard! Addison wishes we could live there forever. They have a pool, pond, huge yard and now a swing set! It is a child's paradise!!! Addison just completed her 1st year of "school". She went Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-12. She did awesome and really enjoyed the interaction and crafts that school provided! We just got back from a quick trip to TN to visit Mama Jo & Daddy John. On the way up to TN we passed beautiful wild flower patches so we stopped to snap some pics and let the girls stretch their legs. The girls had a blast up there and the older they get the easier that 9 1/2 hour drive gets for mommy and daddy! So that is our quick, get you caught up with our past 4 months!!! Oh and Ansley has done GREAT with being potty trained! She only wears a pull up to bed at night (not at nap!!!) and she loves being a big girl (much to my dismay!). We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby Gerard. The girls are thrilled to be big cousins!!!
