Snow in Georgia!









When we got up this morning Matt told me that we were going to see snow and of course I said there was no way ... I was VERY wrong. We went to lunch with my parents and niece Bates just in time for the snow to start falling ... needless to say it is still coming down. Pearce is sound asleep after having a ton of fun playing outside. Here are some pictures of the snow down in Georgia !!

Random Pictures ....



So the reason for this blog is for our family and friends to watch Pearce grow up ... I wish that I could explain to you what a sweet girl she is turning into (with her moments of course!!) . If you have been around her lately you know that your listening skills are being put to the test ... Pearce will not allow you to get in to many words. She is a CHATTER BOX like no other ... she takes after her youngest cousin, Anna-Pearce ! If my shoes are around she wants to put them on -- even though she has not mastered how to "tie the shoe" she is pretty darn close. Until then she is determined to get any and every pair of shoes I own on ... what else -- oh, she is obsessed with my make-up. Every morning that I am home she wants to put make up on with me -- of course she gets a little "pretend" make-up to make her look pretty !!
Pearce still does not meet any stranges .. it makes me nervouse because she would go home with anyone and everyone. Maggie is her all time best little friend but we still watch very closely because she doesnt quite understand "dont pull her ear !" . The transition to a "big girl bed" is coming very soon since she is trying to climb out of the crib ... oh and play strip tease in the crib quite often. I am a little nervouse about that one considering every time she gets in our bed its playtime :)
Her birthday is in about two weeks and we will celebrate with Matts family and my family -- very low key this year. She will also have a party at school so we are looking forward to that celebration.
Besides that life is busy,busy,busy ... but we would not change anything. We are very blessed with two great careers, a wonderful daugher, great families, wonderful friends, and our health.

The Children's Museum











Matt and I decided to take Pearce to see Bob the Builder at the Children's Museum the other day and had so much fun. We got there right when it opened and Pearce was obsessed with ALL the toys. Unfortunately, mom forgot to charge the camera but we got a couple of pictures .. her favorite of the day was painting on the wall !!

Christmas Morning!




As a child you love Christmas ... but as a parent nothing will ever beat the expressions on your childs face when they get that one magical gift. This year Santa brought Pearce a new kitchen ... she loves to "cook" so we thought it would be an appropiate gift. Needless to say, Pearce was SO excited when she saw her kitchen ... she played all day and all night . We must have heard " I am cooking" ... 100 times during the day.Honestly, except for the expression my husband gave to me on our wedding day I can not think of a better expression than that of the one on her face -- it was priceless. Lucky for us it is all on video so we can watch it over and over !! We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with your family.

The New Favorite ..




Grandma Dee-Dee made Pearce her very own purse so she would leave mine alone -- Thanks Dee Dee!! She is totally obsessed and wants to take it everywhere.

Bye Bye Santa



Pearce wanted NOTHING to do with Santa this year ... we are hoping she will remember all the great things he brought her this year and like him a little better next year !! The only words out of her mouth were "Bye Bye Santa " !!
