Walter is 2 today!

I can't believe that my baby is 2 today. It seems just like yesterday that I was pregnant, with my house full of people waiting for his arrival. I almost want to go back to that morning when I went to the hospital to have him and big Walter and I awaited the arrival of our 2nd child. It was such a sweet time for us! Time has really flown by fast with him. We have been so crazy in the last year, or 2, that I have to look back at pictures to see really how much he has changed. He is so big and talking up a storm. He actually talked on the phone to my parents this morning, without jabbering.
He and I have enjoyed our morning together (Ann Elizabeth and her daddy were still in bed). Walter and I have had suckers and waffles for breakfast, and eaten cake batter as we made cupcakes and a little cake for him. It was so much fun!
We will have our party later and I will post pics so that you guys and see how big our 2yr old is!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

SNOW DAY!!

So today we wake up to snow really coming down here in the confusing state of Nashville, TN. It really can't decide if it is going to be 60 degress, 30 and raining or snow. It is so beautiful when it snows. Ann Elizabeth, however, wasn't all that excited that she didn't have school today. Her class was supposed to have their Valentine's party today. So needless to say she is disappointed about that. Once we convienced her that they would have the party on Friday, then everything was great and she wanted to play in the snow.

That took all of about 5 minutes. After spending 25 minutes to get everyone dressed, rope the dog up and convience daddy to go with us, we get outside and......."it is cold" is what I hear. They did enjoy it, but seriously 5 minutes was all they wanted. At least we have pics to prove that my children have seen snow.

Now, what do we do the rest of the day....................

Here is a picture of Ann Elizabeth with her Prince Charming on her 4th birthday. We hosted a Tea-Party at our house and Walter dressed in his tux and served the 13 little girls that attended. He was a BIG hit, especially with the Moms.

Crazy day in our house!

So, I don't think that my children have been sick more in there sweet little lives, than since we moved to Nashville. Ann Elizabeth has had a cold that she just can't shake since Monday night. And let me say that she is really bored with her little brother and I.
Speaking of Walter, we survived the tornadoes this week, but we had one of our own this morning. He managed in, 10 min, to pull out all of the board games and puzzles in the playroom and throw the pieces everywhere. And now, he is in the "treat drawer" trying to shove every piece of candy/gum in to his mouth that he possibly can. The picture is worth a thousand words-doesn't he look like he gets into TONS on trouble!
The babysitter gets here at what time?????? Not soon enough i can tell you that!

Hope all is well with you guys! We send our love to everyone!!!

This is the first time I have ever done this so...forgive me if it is a little crazy. Ann Elizabeth is sick in the bed and Walter Jr. is climbing all over me.

The children are growing like weds. Walter J will be 2 in March and Ann Elizabeth was 4 in Nov. Ann Elizabeth is is a church school here in Brentwood and really likes it. She has met some really sweet little girls so it has helped with the transition. She will start to play soccer this spring at the YMCA and is very excited about her hot pink soccer shoes.

Walter J is wild as ever and with me everyday. He will be in school next yr though-THANK GOODNESS! He is talking in complete sentances and yelling all the time. He looks just like his Daddy and just as silly too. We do Gymboree once a week and he has found a sweet little girl to torture (her Mom is super nice and we have the same birthday). He mom just laughs off all of Walter's antics and talks about how sweet he is. Time will tell!
Molly, the dog, is driving us crazy and is almost to much for us to handle. She is really sweet, but insist on chasing the children and chewing on everything

Hopefully this will be a better way for me to keep everyone-the parents mostly, up to date on the latest happenings.

Until next time......
