Beautiful Snow!

What an exciting way for a child to wake up! Who would have guessed that a trip to the coast would lend itself to discovering snow. My parents had about 3 inches!

They were running around (maybe to keep warm?).

I am pleased to announce that Greer likes the cold and snow as much as her mother- not at all. We will continue to be a warm weather family for sure!

Funny Greer

I just thought I should make a note of some of the funny things Greer has started noticing about us this week. Thursday night Chad came home earlier than I expected, and we were excited about playing together as a family after dinner. Greer and I were sitting in a chair, and somehow she pulled up the leg on my pants. I had been alone a couple of days, so I hadn't really had time to shave my legs. She thought it was crazy! She rubbed my legs, and said "hot" indicating a "do not touch" message. Chad and I thought it was hillarious, and so she kept doing it. With compiments few and far between these days, I decided to take the literal meaning of the adjective she chose. Greer thinks that mommy has hot legs!

She has been equally enamored by Chad's facial hair since that experience. If he has a scruffy face, she will not give him good night kisses. This morning while we were getting ready for church, Chad brought Greer into the bathroom and she watched him shave. She didn't quite know what to think about the shaving cream (and probably sitting still), but she like his smooth face. It sure is fun to watch her figure out her world!

Christmas

Could anyone help me locate December and the first half of January? We'll blame it on moving, but I can't keep up with my life these days. (Much less pictures) Here are a few. I have all of them posted on facebook, if you want to see more.Merry Christmas Greer!

Greer got a kitchen from us.
Greer is in her Christmas dress, her new apron, and she is eating "trash" aka Chex Mix.

With 3 kiddos, you can imagine the chaos at the Tidds. They had so much fun, but we learned to open a gift and play for a while before opening another.

Thanksgiving at the Tidds

We were in Simpsonville for a special Thanksgiving with the Tidds, Cavins, and Gram Todd. We got to enjoy seeing the kids together again, and it gets better everytime. As a stay-at-home mom, I must say that it is a delight to be around family and to see Greer play with other kids especially her cousins. I only took pictures at the park, so we will have to wait for the others to send pictures of the other things that we did.

As Promised

As promised, here are some pictures of Greer playing mommy to her stuffed animals. I hope that you find it as precious as I do.

House Lighting

It just hit me that I could add these pictures, so I thought I would show you two of the lights I have ordered for the house.

Formal Dining Room ( I am in love with this light!)

Breakfast Nook (with the Citrus Rug)

By the way, our closing is on Tuesday. (You can pray it goes smoothly!) I am getting quotes on plantation shutters, picking out paint colors, and looking at window treatments. I went to look for the bathroom hardware today, and hopefully got it all. Greer is getting good at socializing in the stores while I pick things out! The only time she cries is to remind me that it is snack time.

Sweet Girl

I know that I need to add some more pictures of Greer. We have taken some that I will put on here soon, but while I am waiting on Chad, I will tell a little of what has been going on with her lately. I really want to document this, so that I can remind Greer of it when she is older.

Greer is such a sweet mommy to her animals and dolls already. The imitation this week has hit record highs. She has a runny nose, and as expected, I have been wiping it regularly. SO...I have found her taking kleenex and wiping the Tiger's nose, Dolly's nose, and sometimes she will even wipe mine.

She has a precious doll that came with a spoon, cup, and bowl. (Thanks Mrs. Anna!) For months she has been feeding that doll, but this week she started putting her animals in the big high chair and using the doll's utensils to feed them. So sweet! Greer I hope you hear and understand all the times that I tell you that you are going to be a wonderful mother one day! I really believe that and hope that it will come in God's timing! Being your momma is the best gift in the world! I love you more than you know, and nothing will ever change that!
