We're BA-AAACKKK!

Hi everyone!  YEs, I am back to write about the girls.  Since we last chatted, our family has moved from Smyrna back to Crieve Hall.  I got ANOTHER part-time job to add to my Oak Hill job working at Crievewood United Methodist Church as the Children's Music Director.  I love it and the best part is that we rent the parsonage next door to the church.  It's a 2400 sq. foot house and we barely know what to do with all of the space...  Josh can finally set up ALL of his drum sets and teach lessons out of our home.  

Violet now talks...alot.  Her most common words are Da, Mom-Mom, Ru, Bop (our cat), Gramma-Gram, bop-pa (Grandpa), Anna, Yora (Laura), Ro-Ro(Aunt Rosie), Oma, Opa, Pee (Pete the Dog), Ott(Uncle Art, Ka (Eunt Katie, Mock (Uncle Mark), ba-na-na, mick(milk), peez(pizza), etc.

This baby has no fear.  Climbs on anythingm jumps off everything and is one of the happiest most joyful children I have ever seen.  She LOVES her big sister.

Ruby will be 4 in October.  She just started Mother- Day out last week and goes 2 days per week.  She also started gymnastics with her friend Caleb!  She can now do front rolls and walk on the balance beam.  We call her Mary Lou.  She went on a date with her daddy this week to see the Nashville Symphony at the Schermerhorn.  We had free tickets so I didn't mind if she only lasted one song.  It turns out that she loved it and stayed for the whole thing.  She loved the "beautiful lights" and favorite instrument was the violin.    She hopes to go back some day.

I personally think she will be IN it someday.

Ruby also informed me that she wants to be a mommy when she grows up.  When asked how many children she would like to have, she replied laughing, "Mom,  I think I'll start with one!"

Josh is working hard like a good Daddy does and in his free time he can be found at the park with his girls!
