I love Jesus. I love Sam. I love my girlies. I love my hounds. I like to cook. I like long walks with friends. I like Danielle's porch swing. I like to laugh. I like to be weird. I like to give gifts. I cry when people succeed. I want to learn more about my heavenly Father. I want to grow and be stretched. I like life.

She wants cake!
Having her cake...
She's reaching, she's grabbing, she puts everything in her mouth. She is growing up way too fast. Oh, that makes my heart ache...

the bakers
Date with Daddy
love it!
Yum Yum!
While dad and daughter are out on their date, I try to make an effort to do something fun with the other child. Ali and I put on our aprons and bakers hats and made cookie dough a few weeks ago. She was so cute. She kept saying, "We are good bakers mom. We are really good bakers." Ava got to have ice cream and cookie dough that night. :) I love this time as they have been less frequent since Aria has joined our family.
When Ali went on her date, Ava and I played computer games and she got to help get Aria ready for bed. Two year olds are so smart and so much fun. I love my girls!
A loving Father...
Daddy has started date nights at the McNair house. He did this a little bit last winter/spring, took the summer off and is starting again. Each week one of the girls gets to go on a date with Daddy. The last two weeks it was ice cream and the park. They love it! They think they are sooooo special... and they are and that's the point. The girls are blessed with a Father who loves them, wants a relationship with them, and works at it! What an impact parents have on their children... I look at my wonderful husband and praise the Lord that he is such a loving Father. I am thankful that I had a loving Father growing up...and that my heavenly Father loves me. Mothers get all kinds of weird (but good) attention.... let's give those Daddy's some hugs today!

Preschool buddies...

Preschool days
Here are Ali's preschool buddies. I love this pic because it reminds me of a picture my mom has of the All 'A' carpool we had when I was little. I think it was for preschool? Mom? Andy, Aaron, Abby and ??? How fun!
We decided that I was going to teach Ali everything she needed to know at home this year. :) But on Tuesdays, we get together with three other families who have preschoolers and have preschool. The Moms take turns teaching, hosting, and watching the smaller kiddos and it works out well! Last week they went to the fire station... there will be pics and stories on that later...
Aria's first real bites:)
I mean really...how cute is she????
Cereal
We gave Aria her first real bites of cereal this weekend. The first bowl didn't go so well, but this pic is from the third try and she loves it now. :) I let Ali and Ava feed her a few bites during the second feeding session. They thought they were pretty cool... I thought they were pretty messy. Ali in particular thinks it is great that Aria is finally eating cereal. I love to watch my girls love each other. It tugs at my heart!
