We had a wonderful sun filled family weekend. The weather was perfect! Highs in the low 80's! We enjoyed the pool (4 days in a row) and a full beach day. Ansley is starting her 3rd week of ISR (infant swim rescue) and she is already turning into a fish! She will swim over and over again from someone to the stairs. It is wonderful! The girls are still recovering from all the fun they have. We went to a BBQ at our good friend's house and swam in their pool, ate good food and enjoyed each others company. Ansley hurt her arm jumping on the trampoline but good news was the X-rays showed no broken bones. As you can see from the last picture of her, she was a grump-a-lump the rest of the evening. She is babying it and it hurts her so it is in a splint to help keep it from moving. All in all we had an awesome Memorial Day weekend! We just love living in FL and love being back in Jacksonville! ON a side note: doesn't Addison's hair look beautiful when she actually lets me brush it?! It's amazing what a little conditioner and a hair brush can do to the girl's hair!

Happy Memorial Day

You are probably SHOCKED...2 updates in 1 week....I know!!!! But not writing much just posting a pic of the start of a fun Memorial Day weekend! She is a HOT Mess!!!!

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!!!
