Jim got me on this one!

I have always wanted a pencil drawing/portrait of Eli. When Coahlton Whitehead, an up and coming local artist, personally presented it to me on Saturday I was speechless.........and very, very tearful! It was part of my Valentine's Day present from Jim!

This is the photo used for the drawing. It is also Eli's favorite spot to nap....and to be sure that he is protecting me too!

Eli has enjoyed looking at the drawing almost as much as I have!

As stated, Jim really got me on this one, I was NOT expecting this. However, I must add that lately he is getting good at giving me big surprises - on my birthday he presented me with a NEW Pandora bracelet! (If you have followed the blog, you know that he just completed one for me during hurricane season).

The new one has two baby carriages and two baby booties with pink crystals! Yes, this bracelet will be completely devoted to Aubrey and Lainey. I am looking forward to getting many new charms as they enter the world and I reach new milestones as Moma D!

PS........Thanks Krisha for coaching him on the bracelet purchase!

Visiting Reanna and Savanna

We went to visit Reanna and Savanna on Saturday. It is amazing how much these two little beauties have grown since last year!

This is Savanna trying her best to ride a scooter. She is going to be the engineer of the family one day. She is constantly trying to put things together and figure out how to work things!

Below is Reanna, she is the "I want it, and I want it now" girl. ha. She had rather be entertaining herself in a mud puddle (and occasionally taking a bite of her mud pies)

Jim and I spent time "riding" the girls in their strollers in the yard. At one point I looked over to Jim and said, "Can you believe that we are going to have two of these in 4 months!"

Thanks so much to Allan, Darla, Reanna and Savanna for a wonderful Saturday on the lake with them. Also, a HUGE thanks for all the great "hand-me-downs" for our girls. They will get so much use out of all of it.

Looking forward to seeing you again in March for the girl's 2nd birthday party!
