The BIG 5 YEAR OLD!! Happy Birthday Coop...We love you!

Wow!! It is hard to believe Cooper turned 5 this month! He has turned into such a sweet little boy and of course we couldn't miss his BIG BIRTHDAY BASH at AcroTek Gymnastics in Georgetown! We drove down Saturday...unloaded the dog's at Mimi and Rick's and then headed back to Georgetown....it was a great time! Rory loved the bouncy floors she could crawl on and she kept watching the kiddos doing the ZIPLINE! She was very entertained...Cooper had a blast too!!! It was so cute he kept telling his friends "hey guys come meet my family...hey guys come meet my family" After that we went to Baby Acapulco for dinner where Rory and Coop were on their best behavior...as long as Rory has a cookie/cracker she is good to go for a couple of hours. We enjoyed spending the night at Mimi and Rick's...Rory loves her Mimi time!

That Sunday morning Rory woke up with a cough and it has been 2 weeks of sickness since then. She had double ear infections caused by allergies...so I watched her one day and Nana V thankfully watched her another day while I went back to work. Then she was teething really bad last week and refused to eat food...then she went home with 102 fever on Thursday and with a stomach virus and still had her ear infections. She is doing much better and her teeth finally popped up!
She has been on Antibiodics for about 2 months now and her ears are still filled with fluid...we see Tubes in the future....we currently switched her to Soy Milk in case maybe she has a milk allergie. We shall see!!!

Thank you to Nana V for always watching Rory when she doesn't feel great and I have to go back to work!!! You are WONDERFUL!!! WE LOVE YOU!

Rory walked away with a new chair, new car seat, and lots of jumpsuits that she loves. Thank you Nana V and Papa J for a great Christmas!!!!

christmas on Grant Park Avenue...oh yeah!

Greg and I hosted our first Christmas on Grant Park Avenue and it was great!!!! Merezie and Coop came up a few days earlier and we went to see ICE at the Gaylord, baked cookies (after 3 attempts to get the sugar cookie recipe right), went to dinner, and watched Christmas movies. The rest of the crew came down the day before Christmas and we had a great time! I loved having everyone over....we did have some National Lampoon moments. Buddy boy starting a fire without opening the vents, the blinds falling while I tried to open the windows, and a pan of stuffing exploding..."What is going on?" -Reagan Fuller It was a great Christmas as you can see in the pictures!!! Thank you to all the fam for coming up....love yall.
