1st Birthday

We spent Valentine's Day - Darcy's 1st birthday in New Orleans. The day started at Pawpaw and Yaya's house for breakfast. She had yummy pancakes and fruit for break fast.


Anna Belle, Aunt Ali and Uncle Johnathon came with us to New Orleans. We took the girls to the Aquarium of the Americas.




The girls had a blast. Darcy and Anna Belle could not get a close enough look at everything swimming past them. Darcy kept knocking her head on the glass as she jumped to grab at whatever was swimming by. Since her head was already so close to the glass she would decide to take a good lick to see what the fish tasted like.






Neither one of the girls were ever frightened by what was in the water...no matter how big it was. Hence the laughter from Darcy in this last photo...she watched as the shark got closer and closer.

Flying Time

I don't know how it happens but time is flying around here. Darcy is almost a 1 year old. The last 3 months have been a blast, that kid has a personality and she is such an adorable little person. This past week we spent a lot of time together, she stayed home with me on Thursday and we sang Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes about 30 Times before we switched to If Your Happy and You Know It. We also managed to look at all the hanging pictures and art in the house at least 15 times. I'm so glad I get to have this time with her. Next week we are going to go to the Aquarium of the America's in New Orleans for her Birthday. Darcy loves our fish pictures, our Beta Fish Tweedy, and moving fish singing mobile that hangs on her bed. It should be a lot of fun, then next Sunday we'll have a Tigger and Pooh party at our house. Stay Tuned for Pictures.

Besides being busy with Darcy, Audri and I are disputing about what we would name another little girl, which promises that we will have a boy, but per chance it is another girl Audri is really into the name Faye. We would name a boy Leighton James, so we'll just have to wait until Feb. 25th to find out. This year Audri enters dorkdom and is going to play Fantasy Baseball with me. We are playing in a Yankee and Braves fan league and Audri's team name is Keith Lockhart Forever. Today, we talked draft strategy and ranked players. It should be a lot of fun to trash talk each other, and it's a great excuse to watch MORE baseball.

Lulu is getting married next month and that is going to be exciting. I don't know all of the details but rumor is that Sasha and Malia Obama are going to make an appearance. Well not really but it's not out of the question. There will more about this in the future so stay tuned.
