Marbles Museum

On Anna Kate's actual birthday we headed to the Marble's Museum in Raleigh with Kade, Jackson, and Abby. They all had a great time! It is such neat place. There are 2 floors with about 5 or so different activity rooms. The rooms vary from pet shop, farm, dress up, building, wood working, arts and crafts, dramatic play, vet, sports of all kinds, etc. A definite good time!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Anna Kate!!

We celebrated Anna Kate's 3rd birthday on Aug. 3rd at the park. We did it at 10:00 in the morning so it wouldn't be so hot! A lot of her sweet friends came but there were some we missed :) She is a very loved little girl!!

We can't get enough of your sweet smile and gentle spirit. You definitely have a fire in you at times and can be difficult but we know you are listening to us and understand why we discipline. You love Jesus and are beginning to ask more questions, pray, and read Bible stories. We are so thankful God picked us to be your mommy and daddy!
