Princess Melissa

She did it! The wedding was in beautiful St. Simons, Ga and the weather was perfect. Britt had kid duty most of the time and he handled it wonderfully. Collin and Brooklyn were both mesmerized by the "princess." Brooklyn wanted Melissa to hold her the whole time - the slide show shows tells all. We had a great time and look forward to seeing the newlyweds very soon in Atlanta!

Since the wedding we have kept very busy with the restaurant, school, and extracurricular activities. Baylen just finished up soccer and Collin just started swimming lessons. Collin is not well receptive of this idea but I have promised him he can return to gymnastics just as soon as he learns to swim on his own. We are 4 lessons into it and he still wont let go of his instructor. Oh well! Baylen had an Indian POW WOW last Friday at school and here is a pic of him and his two closest friends, Lauren and Logan:

Lastly, are big news of the week is closing on our construction loan! The trees are already being cleared (Uncle Richard will be happy to know that not one Pine was left standing.) We should be in our new home by next summer - so go ahead and make plans to come visit. We can't wait!! We took a pic of the lot and will keep you updated on the building process:

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving - we are going to Tallahassee for the feast and back to Moultrie that night for the annual lighting of downtown Moultrie. Apparently its a big event and something our little town is known for doing - so we can't miss it!

Dreams do come true...

For the past six months Collin has been talking about going to Disney World for his birthday. I can honestly say I believe it was everything he believed it to be. This trip was certainly all about "Collin" as he proudly wore his "It's my birthday" button each day we were there. We spent two days in the parks - Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom and one morning eating breakfast with the characters at the Contemporary resort. For some reason, Disney brings the best out of our kids and we all really enjoyed every minute we were there. It didn't hurt that we scored three free tickets the first day and one the second day. The pictures kind of speak for themselves so I will let them. There are several videos included in the Disney slide show so you may want to click this one to view it.

There is also a short slide show on the side of our Halloween costumes. We did not get a chance to trick or treat but we did dress up for a costume party at the Emma's house. For any of you who know TJ, you are going to want to click on the Halloween slide show to see a video of him with the kids. Somehow, we did not get a pic a Baylen, but he was a red power ranger.

I also included a couple pics from Stetson where we caught up with some of our professors - Dr. Mieras, Dr. Croce, Dr. Musser, Dr. Reddish, Dr. Fant, & Dr. Lucas. The boys particularly enjoyed playing football with Dr. Musser in the hallway in Allen Hall. We met up with one of Britt's students from Pensacola, Claire Stubblefield, who lives in Britt old dorm - Stetson Hall. It was a lot of fun to go down memory lane with the kids.

Lastly, Britt was in David McKinney's wedding last weekend in Orlando and we had a blast. We got to see the Coffey family, which is always a treat for the entire family. David and Lindsay (his new bride) looked picture perfect and we loved being a part of the festivities. Next weekend is another greatly anticipated wedding. I am really looking forward to meeting the lucky man who got Melissa Gainey to say "Yes!"
