A Precious Face

I had a very hard time trying to decide on which precious face to put on our Christmas card! The one of him really smiling/laughing portrays his personality best, but the sweet, adorable face on the others melt my heart!

Santa Claus visits Cedar Grove

Today, Santa came to visit the little kids (and big ones too) at Cedar Grove. Clark told him all about what he wanted for Christmas and he explained about our new tradition, the advent calendar.

Randi helped Clark complete a few Christmas crafts/ornaments for our tree.

Reasons for thanks...

We have dozens of reasons to be thankful. Below are some photos of Thanksgiving that remind us many of the reasons we are thankful each day!


Carl, Barbara, Drew, me, Clark, Kim, Peep, & D-Dog (Crystal is taking the photo) enjoy lunch together on Thanksgiving day.Mimi and Clark sneaking into Clark's turkey brownie treat!
Since I rarely post any pictures of Drew and me...
I joined Clark for his little "feast" at school on the Friday before Thanksgiving.

Halloween @ Cedar Grove

Clark had loads of fun this year at the fall get-together at church.
He rode the horse without hesitation.

Clark had a Halloween party @ school. His wonderful teacher, Mrs. Heather, face paints. As you can see, he chose Spiderman!Clark & his buddy, Austin, who was Spiderman also!

Carving the Jack-O-Lantern

Drew & Clark carved the jack-o-lantern this afternoon! Clark does not typically like slimy things on his hands, and that was no different this afternoon. It took a little bit of persuading and a pack of gummies to convince him to touch the insides. But he finally did it and didn't gag this year!



Clark is trying to decide how best to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth on the pumpkin.
He and Drew work together to draw off the face and the "lid".

Elmo Show

Peep took Clark to Elmo @ Philips Arena again this year for his birthday. He had a great time at the show! Thanks, Peep.

Clark @ work and play...

While I don't have any pictures to show for it, Clark had a small accident last weekend and ended up getting 5 stitches in his head. He did fantastic and was a real trooper for the entire ordeal. The worst part has been keeping his head completely dry...not even sweating...hello? It's July in Georgia! We only have another day to go. He has done great so far!

These pictures are from a month ago when Drew did a paver patio for my parents. Clark had fun "helping Daddy work" and cooled off with the hose afterwards.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. Clark had fun at the PTC parade, Moreland Bar-B-Que, and the fireworks. Needless to say, he slept very well that night! It was a long day.



We also welcomed a new family member, Austin, on the 4th. He is adorable and Clark can't wait to teach him all kinds of things.

Beach Trip

We went to the beach this weekend and had a great time! Clark really loves the water and even enjoys the sand...he takes after his mom in this regard! Drew has always disliked the beach, but is learning to enjoy it more now that Clark loves it so much!

Here are a few pictures from the weekend. My favorites are the black & whites!






Clark is not wanting to pose with either one of us. This was Friday night when we first got to the beach and all Clark wanted to do was play with the sand between his toes. He was not up for taking photos.


Boogie Boarding...he got pretty good at catching the waves and staying balanced on the board.
