Christmas Cookies

Whoever is brave enough can come and try our first batch of Christmas Cookies!

AJ had fun playing with the flour and dough and made sure to sample the sugar/sprinkles from each of the cookies.

AJs First Christmas Concert

Although I don't think any of the kids sang a single note throughout the whole performance we loved AJ's first concert - he got the jumping and the waving down!

After they were finished he made us feel like the "cool" parents when he ran past his teachers and slid across and off the stage and then leaped into my lap! It was hilarious and Pat and Jim caught it all on video.

And since then he has been singing the Reindeer Pokey...a lot!

Christmas in Florence

Our Christmas celebration with the Boatwright side of the family was fun for everyone - especially since the weather was perfect!

AJ has 5 cousins, Liam, Caroline, Aiden, Harold and Harrison.

We all played outside and then ate way too much! There were 25 of us there!

And Santa made a surprise visit!!!

A Happy Day

Oh my Biscuit makes me happy - and AJ too! This is Trisha my Biscuit! We had a wonderful time in Charlottte and went to see Happy Feet at Discovery Place and then went out to eat. AJ has been tapping his feet ever since --- we did have to leave the theatre a few times during some chase scenes that were extra loud and scary at the IMAX, bu the loves penguins now!

My Nephews Baptism

Alan and I are proud new Godparents! My sister Kate and her husband Gwen had Zachary Yann on March 25, 2004.

The baptism was December 10, 2006 and as you can see Zach was an angel throughout the whole affair! Meghan and Thad Kocuba (my younger sister and her husband) are with them here.

Our First Blog

Here are some of our favorite pictures - some old, some new - these are my screensavers at work. Just a test run of this new blog journey we are about to begin!

AJ at Sims Park - I smile every time I look at it!

AJ's first school picture! (And they told us he refused to smile for the camera!)

AJ's THIRD Halloween - So far he's been a bee, a dragon and now Chicken Little - as the DJ at the kids dance party at the zoo called him.

My happy husband - I love this picture of Alan - so happy!

AJ and Zach on a train/hay ride!

That's all for now!! xoxo Emily
