Abigail's preschool dance show

Nanna brought it to my attention that I only had a picture of Logan at Abigail's dance recital so here are the important pictures from that. Oops!

He was trying to call Child Protective Services to complain that he was being photographed in antler's with a giant bow against his will.

Logan, why are you so happy when your hair is so nappy?

I just came across this picture of Logan (taken July 2008) eating corn at Cappy's house. He must have run it through his hair a few times before he started eating it.

Snow in Texas!

We actually got some snow on Christmas Eve which is almost unheard of. Some of it even stuck so the kids got to play in the snow on Christmas Day.

Merry Christmas, Aaargh!

Caroling at NorthPark Mall

Abigail and her preschool classmates sang Christmas Carols for the shoppers at the Mall. It was an adventure jsut to find a parking spot at the mall on a Saturday two weeks before Christmas.

Logan's 2nd birthday

We finally had a celebration in honor of Logan turning two. The kids painted some crocodiles which was messy but fun and then we had burgers and cupcakes. (Also messy, but fun)

Logan's best "Abigail" imitation

Western Day at Preschool

We went to the Arboretum on Sunday to check out all of the pumpkins. They had all of the pumpkins beautifully arranged and Abigail wa excited because there were several girls dressed up for their Quincenera (sp?) portrait in brighly colored formal ball gowns. She thought they were pricesses.

hanging out with cousin Carter in Glenwood, AR

Doug's cousin Jud, his wife Alexandra and son Carter drove in from Atlanta so we met them in Glenwood.

Today was the first day of Preschool for the new school year. Both Abby and Logan have new teachers and are in new classrooms. Right after I shot this picture Logan stole the camera and the batteries died so I didn't get another chance to get a better quality photo. Sorry!

'50's Day

Abigail's teacher helped them make their own poodle skirts and put the scarves around their necks and in their hair. They turned out pretty cute. I'm sure none of the kids have a clue what "fifties" means.

Splashing at the zoo

Logan was actually saying cheese for this picture which is why he has the weird smile.

Here Logan is drinking the yucky water that everyone is playing in. Yuck!

I had to throw Logan in the bath tub when we got home to rinse all of the popsicle off of him. He is sporting his sister's swimming goggles.

Dinner at Rainforest Cafe

We took the kids to the Rainforest Cafe since we had never been. Abigail liked it so much she said "I want to live here forever!". Maybe we can get them to hire her to wash dishes. The dessert came with a sparkler sticking in the top but it burned out by the time I wrestled the camera away from Logan and got him in the chair (story of my life-always 2 seconds late for a perfect shot).

Doug's cousin, Brian, was in town visiting for a week. Abigail and Logan tried their best to wear him out. On Friday I let Abigail stay home from preschool and we went swimming at a very cushy rec center in Plano.

The picture of Debbie and Brian was taken by Abigail and I think she did a pretty good job.

I was determined to get a group picture before Brian returned to Atlanta but Logan wanted nothing to do with that. Is it wrong to photograph a minor against their will?

We had a very brief rainstorm last night so naturally we grabbed our swimsuits and a popsicle and ran outside.
