Valentine's Card Preview

This is NOT our Valentine's card, but it is a pretty good representation of how the whole photo session went! The boys were trying really hard to smile even though Caroline was making her "spitting" face and flailing about...gotta love it! :)

Sweet Caroline turns 7 months!

Our baby girl is SEVEN months old today! We celebrated with a trip to Portrait Innovations-they are simply the best in quick, cheap pics. You go in, they snap pics, you choose the ones you want, and they print them in 20 minutes! Nothing like it! Enjoy these pictures of the little girl who brightens the lives of everyone she come in contact with.

Sweet smile

Yay for me!

In her blue Christmas dress theat Nan made just for her, with pearl snowflakes on the collar!

I think this might be my favorite one!

Happy New Year!

Baby blues

She has started making this face when she wants something...NOW!

Sweet Caroline turns 6 months!

Well, our baby girl turned 6 months old today...it's so hard for me to believe! In another 6 months, she'll be a year old...time really does fly! Here are some pics of the past 6 months. Happy Half-Birthday, Sweet Caroline!

The boys will tell you they don't remember what it was like before we had Caroline. She has completed our family and is a complete joy! She is such a sweet, happy, content baby with the best smile around...I realize I'm a little partial. :)

More pictures!

This is, I think, the 3rd year he's been a cowboy for Halloween! If the boot fits...
Caden the transformer-and he can't even pronounce it's name!

The boys made jack-o'-lantern poopcorn balls with Nan...they were better than Caden is letting on.

Our boys and the cutest bumblebee EVER-

John Collier is 6 1/2, Caden is 5, and Caroline is almost 5 months

So stinkin' proud of John Collier!!! He got straight A's for the 1st nine weeks of his First Grade year! He got a cool medal, a certificate, and got to go on a Field Trip to eat pizza during the school day...so fun!

Loooong overdue...

Sweet Caroline was dedicated in September. I just never posted pictures. Here she is with both sets of her grandparents...4 out of the 11 "grands" she has including 6 great-grandparents and a great-gret grandmother! My children are so blessed to know so many generations of their family.
She is wearing the dress I wore when I was 3 months old! Gotta love a Feltman.

I am well aware that you are more interested in pictures than my commentary, so look for another update with more pics soon. I love this one of the boys sleeping in John Collier's bed...ah, a moment of silence!

John Collier got his Bobcat Badge in October! He seems to really be enjoying Scouts.

He also lost his second tooth, on the bottom left. That has been followed by his 3rd-upper left- and 4th (today!)-upper right. Everybody now, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. my two front teeth..."

Quick update...

It has been weeks since my last update. What can I say? Life has been busy with three kiddos, especially since school started. John Collier is in 1st grade and is doing a great job! Caden is in Kindergarten and is learning so much! Caroline is having good days with MeMaw and PawPaw, her sitters. I am enjoying teaching Math and Science Lab, too. Eric just got done running a job for his boss in Mansfield, and he did a great job!



The boys have been busy after school, as well. John Collier is a Cub Scout, and he, Eric, and Caden just went to their first campout this past weekend. Both boys are also playing flag football for Calvary. They are on the white team and are currently undefeated (3 games down, 3 to go)!!! Wednesdays we eat supper at church and the boys go to their class. Saturdays are for football games and Sundays are busy with church and our weekly visit in Keatchie!



Today, our floor guys are at the house installing the new tile and laminate flooring we bought a few weeks ago...tile in the bathroms and wide-plank, wood-look maple in the kitchen, living room, entry way, and hallway. Woohoo!!! I hate carpet-especially mine. But to add more fun to the day, our plumbing backed up last night...time to clean the lines to the street again. Anyway, the plumber should be there soon. Then I get to go home and clean the garage floor (the washing machine backed up-along with washing all the clothes that were out there) and the bathtubs where it all backed up. YUCK.



Hopefully my family and friends will have a restfull, happy fall! I am so glad it's here! Geaux Tigers! Go Cavs!
