Pictures :-)

Yes, this is actually a new post...I was beginning to get tired of seeing that "we're okay" LOL.
first, here are some pics from the hurricane...this is Corynn keeping herself entertained while we lived in our camper for alittle over a week

Our home after Gustav..lots of debris, still some clean up going on, but nothing unmanagable.

That rocking chair WAS on the porch!

Corynn is getting so big & talking so much now...she says & does the funniest things. You know when she is doing something she is not supposed to be doing now because she thinks when she closes her eyes that if she can't see us we can't see her either!! LOL! so whenever she passes by me now with her eyes closed I know she's up to something (usually has paper in her mouth)
She loves animals & her favorite is horses...or as she calls them "porsey" We think it's a cross b/t horsey & pony. Here she is riding her swinging "porsey"




Corynn loves my sister (her "Nonnie") & I just got around to framing Nonnie's senior picture...which corynn promptly took off the hall table & gave it it's rightful place on a pillow in front of her while she watched Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.


The weather has been so great that I took Corynn to the zoo last week...


The giraffe got really close!

She LOVED the choo choo

We're okay...

Gustav gave us a beating, but it could have been much worse for us. I work with quite a few people whose homes are destroyed, so David & I count ourselves very lucky. We did have 3 trees fall in our yard (all on our fence) & ALOT of debris to clean up, we just got power back on a few hours ago (Thank you Lord!!!) We were worried b/c they were telling us it could be 4-6 WEEKS before we got it back on. Now we must re-stock for IKE (BLAH!!) Praying it downgrades. I'll post some pics later, thanks for all of your prayers & emails.

Just pictures...

Edited to add: Carol, you commented about wanting to get the kids together (that would be great!) but your blog is set to private. email me at larnstudent@yahoo.com


Busy busy around here with school starting back. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure...

Warming up for 2....

I've been telling everyone that since Corynn turned 18 months it's like she's gotten her attiTUDE in...whew! She is in to EVERYthing & knows how to throw a tantrum

I'm sure most moms will know what I'm talking about when I say bathroom time is rarely your own with a little one...when I want a nice relaxing bubble bath now I either have to have a 1 year old peering over the tub at me, or endure her banging on the door crying "maaawhmaaawh!!" When I got out of the shower the other day Corynn was on the other side, like this....




She has a major love of shoes...or as she calls them, shwooos...& loves to try on any pair that is left around the house...


When we were in Destin the beach & sand were "yuck yuck" to her at first...then she loved it & wanted to stay in the water. After one trip in the water we came out, but Corynn wanted to stay in, when we told her no this is what she did....





When mom takes my shoes off I improvise...


I spoke to soon a few weeks ago & told someone that our stairs aren't a problem at all with Corynn...she doesn't even pay attention to them. Now she treats them like her own personal play area, she piles toys on them, which was fine when she only sat on the bottom step & played, but now she's trying to progress upwards.
How could you not smile & want to kiss all over this face?

Destin...

We had a great time! Having an 18 month old with you (whose decided that she's actually 2..I'll post the tantrum pics later) was a challenge...but it was fun seeing her experience the beach for the first time!

1 year ago today....

we held Corynn for the first time.










It feels like yesterday & it feels like we've had you with us forever at the same time.

My Baby Humps...

Happy 4th! This was Corynn's 1st Independence Day as an American. We went camping, BBQed & had a great time!









Random pictures...

love these....



Corynn found some old sunglasses of Cameron's & did not want to take them off! She looked like Velma from Scooby Doo!
