O Litttle Star of Bethlehem

Mac was in his first Christmas program and did surprisingly well!! He goes to playschool at the Episcopal Church two mornings a week and loves it(mom loves the break) and his class all dressed up as stars in the nativity production. They sand a little song -- Mac did not open his mouth BUT he stood up there so handsomely:) The pictures are terrible .. they were the best we could do from our vantage point .. the chapel was packed with proud parents, grandparents,etc and it was hard to snag a good spot to watch ... but here are the bad pics just because we are so proud of our lil man ...

Here kitty kitty

We live near Brenau University and actually straight across the street from a large vacant lot that is owned by them. It comes in handy for throwing the ball with Addy, running around with the kiddos and .... the nightly neighborhood cat feeding. Seriously though we have a lady that feeds stray cats there EVERY night and around 4:45 they start emerging from the woods and walking down our street to the empty lot awaiting her arrival. I have told people this story may times and they kinda blow it off and give me funny looks ... here is the proof:) (and these are just a few of the 15+ that gather)

I just love her ...

Annie is now 9 months old and sooo much fun! She is my budding little walker and will stand straight up(holding on to nothing) and take one or two steps then down to crawl again .. I think in January she will probably just take off... which I can't decide if will be better when the next baby comes or more challenging .... She also prefers to sit like an Asian as referenced in the above photo whenever she is playing! I tell Leigh is is just preparing for her new cousin David's arrival from South Korea:) Even though I want another boy if I end up with another girl like Annie I will not complain ...
