2007 recollections

January-spent the beginning in WV for the dedication of child #3. My father was able to be there for child #2 so we thought it only right to be with Hubby's parents for this dedication. We left on the 2nd and drove to Charlotte, NC and visited my dear friend Chris and her family there. It was a complete surprise to her but her hubby knew and thought it would be cool to show up with a newborn and see if she guessed who it belonged to. Seeing as Danielle was only 12 days old and we were far from home. She had no clue! The rest of the month was getting settled with a new addition to the family.

February-We journeyed into homeschooling. Celebrated Child #2's second birthday. And enjoyed seeing Spring happen in the South. We also spent several weekends in Jacksonville on many mini-vacations prior to Hubby leaving for training in CA. We di the Atlantic Ocean, the JAX Zoo, Chuckie Cheese, shopping, etc. etc. Spent lots of time hanging out in the suite with the little ones too and at the hotel pool for Kendra and her guests. She took one with her each trip down there.

Holiday Memories

Okay, first off I said Holiday as it contains birthday photos also not just Christmas otherwise My title would have been Christmas photos. I am not one to remove Christ from our celebrations. He is the reason for it all.
