This week, Alyssa and I went on a big adventure with the babies to Mt Pleasant. This does not sound like a big outing, but when you have 2 babies (and no GiGi to help) ANYTHING could happen.
The first half of the day went beautifully. We lunched, we shopped, the babies were well behaved... perfect. Then Alyssa jinxed us. She said those famous last words: "Wow. Things have gone really well. Knock on wood." Then....

| The "BEFORE" picture. There was NO picture taken after the days events. A memorable day, and one we will laugh about for years to come!! So much fun... even during the disasters! |
 |
| We had an amazing visit with GrandAnnie this past week!! Blakely LOVES GrandAnnie and the two of them had the best time ever!! GrandAnnie brought Blakely a little "prize." Blakely got so excited about the tissue paper. She pulled it out, flipped it around and waved it in the air!! She was stinking adorable! I know how we are wrapping all her Christmas presents! HA! |
 |
| GrandAnnie got Blakely this adorable LeapFrog Puppy named Violet. After Blakely pulled out all the tissue paper, she realized there was something else in the bag. She was slowly reach in and touch it, then pull back like it bit her. Then, she would look at us, rub her belly, then reach in again. It took her 3 attempts to get her new puppy!! It was so cute to see her so shy about her present. Blakely loves her new puppy! Thank you, GrandAnnie! |
