Valentine's Day!

The other day we came home to a big Valentine's Day package from Bugga, Bama and Rosie. Averie was so excited to open it. Inside were many fun surprises! Bugga and Rosie sent Averie a red suitcase... she is now looking forward to using it when we go on "bay-cation". Carson's gift was a cute outfit with a red shirt that he wore for Valentines day... he was very festive. Bama sent Averie fairy flannel sheets which match her bedding exactly, but are much warmer. There were also lot's of diet wrecking treats. We've locked them up (literally) and I'm looking forward to enjoying them (sensibly, of course) when I ease treats back into my diet.

Thanks for the fun package Bugga, Bama and Rosie!!!!

Yesterday we got a package from Grandpa and Grandma Johnson with yummy treats. The kids immediately dove in! Included was one of Averie's favorites - Lik-a-stiks! They both loved their treats and walked around with colored lips and tongues (Averie's green and Carson's red) all afternoon.

Thanks for the treats Grandpa and Grandma Johnson!!!!

Averie and Carson really loved playing in the new, red suitcase and I couldn't resist a good photo opportunity! She's looking forward to her first chance to use it at Easter when Bugga, Bama and Rosie visit us and we get to spend some time at the beach!!!

This picture is from a few weeks ago. We have a membership at Discovery Place, a children's museum uptown. There are so many fun hands-on activities for the kids. I thought this picture was a good representation of Carson's toughness. This was an activity where the child uses a rope attached to pullys to lift their own body weight. There were three levels and this happened to be the hardest. Carson needed help hoisting his weight, but then he could hold himself up. That's my boy!
