Happy 6th Birthday, Luke!

Luke celebrated his 6th birthday a little early with a few friends at Chuck E Cheese! He was really excited and had a great time, but was very shy when Chuck E came out!! His real birthday was on March 5, and we celebrated with cake and went to the zoo in Greenville, SC! Luke has grown up so much, and we love him dearly!!

MSU Basketball!

Boys watcing for Jarvis after the game, hoping for a high five!

This basketball season we were able to go to few home games, and it was a lot of fun! We are a bit sentimental, and so the last game we were able to go to, we took all four kids even though it was a Wed night at 8:00! We must be crazy! But it was fun, and the kids enjoy being at MSU, and Sam says "Mississippi State" the cutest way when we drive on campus. They also love the ice cream, and are sad there won't be MSU ice cream in Peru. It was a fun night, with some NCAA records broken!!

Happy 60th Birthday, DoDad!

Sweet DoDad, my dad, celebrated his 60th birthday on February 17th! We got to have a night out with my parents, Rebecca and Justin, and Katie and Talmadge, and celebrated together in Oxford for dinner. We love DoDad so much, and appreciate all that he has done for all of us. He is a wonderful person, and has been a great father and grandfather!

Happy Birthday, Sarah Caroline!

Sarah Caroline turned 9 on Valentine's Day, and it is hard to believe she is so grown up!! It seems like yesterday we brought her home from the hospital, but now she seems so big! She had a fun weekend, and the highlight was getting her ears pierced! She was very excited when I told her we could go get them pierced for her birthday!! Our plan was to wait until she was ten, but we found out it wouldn't be a good idea to have them pierced in Peru, so we went ahead and let her do it a little early. Well, now Marcus says I decided this, and he was kind of sad, and feels like she really to grown up looking! But she is loving it and had a fun birthday!

Swim Meet

Ben and Luke have been swimming this fall and winter, and participated in their first meet! Ben wasn't excited about being in this picture, but he was excited about swimming! We have been impressed with how much progress they have made since August, and it is amazing to us how they can learn the strokes so well at such a young age! It was fun watching them, and wish they could keep swimming! Maybe they can start back when we come back to the U.S.!
