June

June got off to a rocking start with visits from Josh and Barb Andrews. It was so good to see Vinny again and to finally meet Barb. We had a lot of fun watching old videos from Teen Mania, touring the Gulf Coast, and catching up. Aunt Marcie also graced us with a visit. I know she really only wanted to hang out with Darcy and Anna Belle but we also got to spend some time with her.

We are about a month away from the arrival of baby Fae, we are getting more excited everyday. Darcy likes to point to Audri's stomach and say baby- then she points to mine and says Daddy Baby, its a real confidence booster.

We had spaghetti the other night- Darcy's Favorite meal, here is the evidence.

Quick Fix

We will have more pictures from our weekend in Destin coming soon but here are a few for those in need of a quick fix.

Easter

We had a lovely 2nd Easter with Darcy this year. We went to church and Darcy and Audri participated in the Baby Parade, then went to Audri's family to have the annual Easter Egg Hunt. That was Darcy's favorite part of the day since it involved being outside on the grass and collecting things that she found off the ground. On Saturday we went to Mandeville for Noah's Birthday Party, we played Paintball at Paintball Command. Paintball Guy is my favorite- that is a whole other culture, and that stuff is expensive. I was by no means aggressive paintball guy but it was a good time and it's great to see Noah enjoy something so much.

Baseball season has started and we are really enjoying watching as many games as possible with MLB.TV. Fantasy Baseball has also kicked off and it makes for some intense moments at home but all in good fun. As of right now Audri is trailing Harold by half a point- UGGHHH OOOHHH.

Here are some pictures from today.

New Darcy Stuff

Well we really haven't been consistent bloggers this year, it has seen to go by very fast though and blogging is really low on the priority list.

Darcy has been hilarious lately, she walks, she talks, and loves to play with the dogs.

Darcy walking is sorta like a lot of people after a wild night on Bourbon St, but it gets the job done and she loves walking outside and playing kickball. Since her walking is getting better we are taking her in the backyard to play with the dogs and she thinks that is the greatest. Jeter loves to let Darcy hug him and she likes to lick his hair which is gross but whatever. Darcy still enjoys a good basketball game on tv, and is now getting in to baseball. She can say Baseball and points to it on Tv. I'm going to pick Darcy up on Monday from the office so we can watch the Yankees first game. I'm probably more excited than she is about opening day but we are starting a tradition so.... On the same note, Audri and I are playing Fantasy baseball with some friends at church and Audri has already struck fear in the hearts of these guys with her draft picks, I almost want her to win except that I want to win.

We are also struggling to find a name for the new girl, suggestions please.

Ok, here's the good stuff.

Pot Of Gold

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.
