Georgia Aquarium

We took Anna to the Georgia Aquarium for the first time. Here are some pictures.

Snow

We had a White Christmas after all. Anna and her grandmother went out to play in it while I stayed under the safe cover of the garage.

Christmas Morning

Santa came and left Anna a new pink tricycle. She loved it.

Aunt Lou & Uncle Lee Visit

My Aunt Lou and Uncle Lee came down from north Georgia to visit. Here are some pics of them, their dog and Anna.

Bill's new camera and Santa

I got a new camera for Christmas and these are some of the first pictures I have taken with it.

We stood outside waiting to see Santa in Marietta for 45 minutes. Anna was fussing the whole time, until we got our two minutes with Santa and she asked him for a bicycle.

Christmas Time

Our friend Amber Stephan came over on Saturday and took some Christmas photos for us. We hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season.

Halloween and Anna's Birthday

We celebrated Anna's two year birthday on Saturday, October 30. A lot of the children who came to her party wore their Halloween costumes. During the party, we had the kids decorate pumpkins and cup cakes. The next day, I took Anna Trick or Treating in the neighborhood. When we rang our neighbors door and they opened it, Anna would just start walking into their house. It took us about 3 houses before she learned to just stand outside and say, "Trick or Treat". It was a great weekend.

Pumpkin Patch

Today we stopped by a church selling pumpkins. Anna picked out a small pumpkin to take home. As soon as we got in the car to drive home, she started screaming for a bigger pumpkin so we had to stop at another church selling pumpkins and buy her a bigger one. I hope this is not a sign for things to come.

Anna's new playset

Anna got a play set from her cousins when they moved to Charlotte. The problem was it was so big, we didn't have a flat spot to put it in the back yard. Our friend Vincent, from our small group at church, helped me level off a place in the back yard to erect the play set. Patty's dad helped me reassemble it when we brought it up from their house.

This was one of the biggest projects I have done at this house and I can't wait to do more.

Anna takes gymnastics

Patty has enrolled Anna in "gymnastics" with her friend Allison and her daughter Brooke. I think it is more like running around on mats, but hey, it's not about me. Here is Anna in action.

Tanglewood Farms

We took Anna to Tanglewood Farms in Canton, GA today. They have all miniature animals for kids to pet and feed. She had a great time.

Byrds at the Beach

We went to St. Augustine, FL for a family reunion two weeks ago. Here are pictures from the beach.

Anna takes a nose dive.

Patty and Anna were at the pool, when Anna decided to try and climb on a chair by herself. This was the result.

Zoo Atlanta

Patty and I took Anna to the Atlanta Zoo this morning. Anna loved the animals, especially the petting zoo.
