Resigning

Well, here we are....six months since my last post.  I've decided that I'm going to turn the blog over to Mom.  I am just too busy with school, sports, friends, and plain 'ol life to keep up with it anymore.  And as I am going through the pictures, I'm realizing that Mom has a lot more time on her hands. I mean, look......

Ryan reads to himself:

Emily feeds herself:

and, I'll spare you pictures, but she only has one hiney to wipe these days because Ryan is potty trained.  So, what's left for her to really do?  What does she fill her days with?  We won't ask her (b/c she acts a little offended) but I'm sure she can spend some of her free time blogging for us.

But, since this is my last post, I will leave you with tons of pictures from the last six months.

First day of first grade

 

 Ryan started preschool

Then, mom and dad took us out of school and to Disneyworld

 

Emily turned ONE!

 

We had Thanksgiving at Rick and Leslie's....with this wonderful view

 

We forgot to tell Ryan to use his best manners

 

Christmas was big this year. We started off with a practice run with Santa on the day after Thanksgiving.  As you can see, only two of us even made it in the picture

 

Ryan, MiMa, Mom, and I spent a chilly evening at Christmastown

 

We saw the annual Richmond Christmas Parade...where Rudolph came out unscathed this year

We picked out our Christmas tree

and Daddy cut it down himself!

Mom, Dad, and I went on a tacky light bus tour with a bunch of friends

 

We saw the Boats on Parade for the first time

 

We decorated cookies at Davis' annual Christmas Party

 

 We dressed Emily up in lots of silly Christmas outfits

 

We saw Drifty the Snowman with some friends

We celebrated Christmas at Grandma and Grandaddy's with Owen

and at MiMa and PaPa's with Molly

 

 and at home

and at Uncle Tommy and Aunt Brenda's

 

and then we were exhausted and Mom stopped taking pictures until we went to Great Wolf at the end of January.

and Ryan turned 3!  and got a snowboard

 and celebrated with cupcakes with his buddies at school

 

So there you are.....the last six months in pictures. Hope Mom can keep up with this a little better!
