Random photos to remember

OK...I am officially so far behind on this blog that I am going to have to combine some photos into one post.  We had lots of fun in the early part of fall and I wanted to be sure to include great memories.   First family memory:  the arboretum in Lexington.

We have been to the arboretum a number of times over the years.  It is a beautiful place to walk, enjoy the flowers, bike, walk pets, etc. I love this photo because we have so many memories of Sarah on Daddy's shoulders.  I cannot believe she is to big to be hoisted up now!   I also can't believe that Leah is big enough to take her place on those shoulders.

Unlike Sarah, Leah has her own way of "riding high" on Daddy's shoulders. :)

When Leah got tired of the fun and Sarah was still rearing to go, Leah and I snuck away for a snack in the back of the van.   I absolutely LOVE this photo of my girl.  What a sweetie!

Leah is so full of life now.  She loves "reading" climbing and getting into mischief.  Watch out toilet paper, here I come!

Here is Leah hanging out with her Mamaw and Papaw at a local Mexican restaurant.  Leah absolutely loves Mexican food.  I think it is her favorite (along with Cracker Barrell)

Sarah of course sitting with "my Amy".   She has called her this since she was very small.  It is so fitting.  They have a very close relationship.  We are blessed to have her.

A rare photo of Chris.  He has been gone for countless weeks this year.  We are very glad to have him with us.

Leah being her silly self.  What a beautiful gummy smile she had.  Now she has a mouthful of teeth!

I love this photo.  This finger has been in her mouth a lot of late.  We can always count on a tooth popping through shortly after.  She now has 5 and is working on number 6!

Sarah has been keeping busy in ballet this semseter.  She had a ballet/gymnastics class.  It has really helped her coordination.  She even performed on stage recently!  Photos to follow.

Learning basic moves.  How cute!

She has also been busy with art projects.  She loves watching Bob Ross on PBS on the weekends.  How funny!

I am so glad she has a love of the arts.  She likes singing, dancing, drawing, and crafting.  Her favorite pastime is decorating the house.  Yes, she is 4 years old, but she acts like an adult in that respect.  We love our girls so much and look forward to very bright futures for both of them.
