Braces for Maddy

Maddy got her braces yesterday. Everything went well and now we (mainly her) are adjusting. She is soar today. Chewing is a challenge but we are trying to find soft foods that work. So far her favorite is a Chick-fil-a milkshake. Can't argue with that :)

For a fun family outing we went to the New Hope Valley Railway and rode the Santa Train. It was the first time for the boys riding a train. It was lots of fun, rainy and cold, but fun. We got to visit with Santa, get candy canes, and on the way back we sang Christmas Carols (Maddy was very embarrassed.) After the train ride we went to lunch at Sonic and Graham got to enjoy a corn dog and decided he loved them and has been talking about them ever sense. I am going to make vegetarians out them yet!

Fishing with Gammie

Gammie took the kids fishing while she was in town. Two of them loved it, one not so much. Can you guess which one? I can't blame her I like to eat the fish but not necessarily catch it! It was lots of fun and we had some good laughs.

Fishing with Gammie

Not a big fan of the whole thing. She doesn't much like the eating part either. Oh well.

I Caught One

Graham caught a fish, he was the first one to catch one. He was very proud of himself but really didn't want to touch it. It took us a while to get this picture, he didn't even want to get close to the fish.

After four kids and a lot of use and abuse we have decided to say goodbye to our crib. This has actually been harder for me than I would have thought. So many memories. I remember buying the crib in Atlanta Ga, and getting lost trying to find Peach Tree Street (for those of you familiar with Atlanta there are a lot of streets with that name.) The crib is actually still sitting in the boys room. This is my way of preserving memories. Too cute!

It has been a long time since I posted so I am doing some catch up, April always makes me think of Emma's birthday and Strawberries. For Emma's birthday I was in DC with Maddy but Jason took her and Jenna to get a hamster. He was cute but mean and just a couple days ago we took him back because he was causing us to bleed. They have sharp little teeth!!!
