Picture Perfect Weekend

Saturday we loaded up and headed to Huntsville for busy day. We got the girls pictures taken at Portrait Innovations - and I must say they turned out sooo cute!!!! Mallary slept through most of them, but we managed a few with open eyes. I will take sleeping over fussing any day! Gracie was her usual camera hog and hammed it up for the photographer. Here is a preview of the pictures, however, since several of you are getting them in the mail I don't want to share others.

After we did pictures, we ran to Toys R Us for a floating bathing suit for Gracie for our upcoming beach trip, formula and some other goodies. We came back and took a ride through a new neighborhood in Huntsville called The Ledges that Alan had a job site at. Huge new houses and a country club up on the mountain - pretty neat. After our ride and a stop to pick up the pictures we decided to try a new restaurant called Red Robin. Our dinner was great and we had a hard time deciding what to have. Alan had the chili chili cheeseburger and I had the bruschetta chicken sandwich. Both were delicious and we will go back.

Today we are finally enjoying some spring like weather (although it took until 3 to show up). We played frisbee and swung in the swing, cleaned up the flower beds and Alan has been grilling all day in preparation for some upcoming BBQ Competitions.

Not too much activity planned for this week. We are heading to Bham this weekend so I am wanting to make some plans for some fun!

New Mallary Pics

Poor Mal had to go to the Dr. on Monday for her cold. She's getting better and probably didn't need a Drs. appt, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything more. At her age, she can't have any medicine for a cold so really he just told me to watch for her the 3 weeks. She's acting fine except for an occasional cough so maybe it won't hang around that long.

She is going to have her picture taken on Saturday - so be watching for pics in the mail coming soon! I think I'll do some with Gracie as well in matching dresses! Woo Hoo, I'm excited about that! I love being able to dress them alike or coordinating.

Yes, the hair still sticks up, but not quite as bad

Warning

WARNING:

If you see this girl working at your clinique counter don't let her give you lipstick applying lessons.

New Poll

In anticipation of finding out if Elaine and Jeff will be having a boy or girl, there is a new poll on the left. Actual results will be revealed (hopefully) on April 10th!
