Saturday and Sunday Highlights

This weekend's highlight consisted of spending time with my college roommate (Holly), her husband (John), and little Salie. Caroline was so excited when our company arrived. I had spoke to her about Holly's baby being in her belly. Caroline kept looking at Holly's belly, just waiting for the baby to be revealed. She is going to love getting to meet Salie soon!
We have been sorting through things and giving baby items to Holly and John. The funny thing is that Caroline does not want to let go of any of her baby items. She brought the baby seat outside with her Saturday and got stuck....
Picture #3-Caroline asked me if I would put her in the Wal-Mart bag on Saturday, but when I went to get her out she said, NO Mommy! You have to purchase me first! Her mind is expanding!
Sunday is my favorite day of each week. I love my church friends! I wish I got to see them each day! Have a great week!

Shopping Saturday

We started off the morning by heading to Benton to go shopping. Mom picked us up and off we went. We had plenty of stops, but Caroline was a sweetie!

Stop #1) Post Office
Stop #2) Donut Shop-Caroline only ate one donut hole
Stop #3) Office Depot
I had to explain to Caroline today that the riding chairs are not for children, but handicapped or older people. She did not want to get out of the chair!
Stop #4) Subway
Stop #5) Wal-Mart...there were so many people at Wal-Mart today!

Thursday Highlight

Thursday Highlight= Matt's Compliment

We all love compliments and I especially love compliments from Matt. Matt is a supporting and a complimenting husband. I chose the above picture to display for tonight's post because I will never forget when I was pregnant with Caroline. We were about to go back to the labor and delivery room and Matt told me that I was more beautiful than ever. Such a special compliment from a husband.

Well, today I received another sweet compliment from Matt. He came to the office this morning, and later this afternoon I received a message from him stating, You are so great at your job. I enjoy getting compliments from patients, but a compliments from my husband will always top the list. Love you Matt!

Monday and Tuesday Highlights

Despite Caroline's ear infection and fever this week, we have still had some fun times in the evening. Below are our highlights from Monday and Tuesday:
1)This basket has been in the family for generations. Caroline is currently using it as her living room chair. Memories!
2) Tonight I came home to find Caroline wanting to go to see Will and Lana....then she told me they would go swimming with her. She still has to learn her seasons. Ha! The life jacket was a little snug, but hopefully this Summer we will have a little fish on our hands.

3) And who can resist this sweetness? These curls really hold the combs steady!

Sunday Highlights

Daily Highlight= I walked into the kitchen to find my two favorite people stirring up a little something special. We have been on a big cooking kick at our house and I hope it continues!

Caroline and I also worked on cutting with scissors this morning. Aunt Julie gave her a cutting kit for Christmas so we periodically break it out and practice. She is getting better at cutting, but she has not mastered cutting on the lines yet. She enjoys cutting one piece and then tearing it the rest of the way. Just look at these sweet fingers and hands. I could eat them up!

Have a great Sunday afternoon!

Daily Highlights

Daily Highlight= Spending time with Matt and Caroline. We have played, played, and played all day. Caroline is napping and I have been planning a vacation. In a few months we will be heading to South Carolina and we are beyond excited. Caroline is excited also...she completely understands what vacation means... We are getting take-out dinner from one of our favorite restaurants to make tonight complete.

Highlight #2-New chalk board for scripture verses. Caroline has a picture Bible that she loves, but it only tells Biblical stories. The Bible does not have scripture verses, so I plan on adding a new scripture to the board each week.
