I decided against writing my name in the snow, but our dog Toby proudly penned his name in big bold letters...
Here are some winter pics of the chilly day.

SNOW DAY!!!
About a week ago, we had a major event in Atlanta - white stuff fell from the sky and we got it all on film! Yes, it snowed - not once, but twice! We took the chance to introduce Kate to snow, since she might not see it again until she's driving in it.

Happy Holidays!
Well, Kate's first holiday season has come and gone after many smiles AND viewings of "The Grinch"!
We spent Christmas Eve at Mimi and Poppy's where Kate got to see their holiday village set-up in all it's glory. Then we ate some roast beast (Kate's was strained of course) and opened some gifts. Kate got many nice things, which she clearly enjoyed, when she was done playing with the wrapping paper.
Christmas morning was spent at home, where she played with some new toys. The hands down favorite was an animal train. Later that day, we had an open house for family to stop by for some yummy food and to sit by the fire.
The following weekend, we headed to Birmingham to see the country folks. The food was great (as always) and Kate got to show off her "almost crawling" skills.
Kate decided to spend New Year's at home. She opted out of watching the ball drop at midnight however. Mommy and daddy almost did as well, but felt obligated to live up to their wild reputation. When the ball dropped, we had a sip of champagne to toast the New Year, then rolled over and went to sleep!
Kate turned seven-months-old on December 29. She weighs twenty pounds now, has two teeth and is working on a third. She's handling it really well...lots of drooling, not much complaining.
As you can see from the pics, she's SO close to crawling, though she hasn't quite figured out the whole forward motion yet. She's improvising by pulling herself along on the hardwood floors.
That's my girl!
Christmas Eve, with
the village in the
background.
"Poppy, just what I
always wanted!"
Playing with
new toys.
Christmas morning!
Sleepy AND happy!
Dinner in Birmingham.
"Aunt Patti, you have
a LOT of teeth!"
Yet more toys...
Hanging out with
Grandma Jane.
Chillin' with a book.
"OK...I'm ready to
go forward now..."
Showing off those
"baby blues"...
