I love my bath!



McGinnis just loves his bath! In fact, any time you take off his clothes he gets all excited like he's going to get in the bathtub. It's really cute! We let him splash as much as he wants to, and then he usually feels so good that he taps out right after he gets his pajamas on. It's so hard to believe how quickly he is growing! Emma loves to sit behind him and fix his hair. Look out little buddy, your sister is already using you as a guinea pig!

Happy Halloween!

Emma and her buddy, Connor

My first Halloween!

Last night we had "Trunk or Treat" at our church. The kids had a great time, of course. What's better than dressing up in their favorite costumes, getting lots of candy and running around with your friends in the dark? The cars in the parking lot were decorated with fun lights and decorations. One car even had teeth in the trunk, and the car was making really loud growling sounds! It was great. Our truck managed to look decent with lots of lights, until guess what?? Our battery died!! What better place for your battery to die than where lots of folks can jump your car off? Well, needless to say, we need to get a new battery before winter. My favorite part of the evening?? It wasn't freezing!!

Good Ol' Alabama Rain

One of the things I like best about Alabama are the rain/thunder storms. We didn't get any thunder on this day, but the rain was awesome. Emma really enjoyed playing on Grammie's front sidewalk with her "sunbrella" as she calls it.

BOO at the ZOO

We are just having lots of fun in Alabama! Last Friday, we went to Boo at the Zoo in Birmingham with Kennamer and Trace. We trick or treated, rode the train, rode the Carousel (BACKWARDS, I might add), went on a hayride, petted the animals, and even went through a crazy monkey house. The kids had so much fun! The Zoo really made a special event for all to enjoy. I was pretty freaked out that our little Snow White didn't look like Emma at all. Pretty scary!

Peek A Boo


Believe it or not, McGinnis was down for the count! He was sleeping so soundly one day last week. He looked so cute, I had to snap a picture or two.

PJ Storytime


Well, tonight, Emma and I went to the Hoover Public Library with our friends, Kennamer and Trace. They were having PJ Storytime with a Pumpkin theme. Miss Opal led the children in many active songs that had them jumping and laying down and waiting for her very next word. She even played her cello in the middle of a song! Emma, Kennamer, and Trace all wore matching skeleton pajama pants. You have to get in the spirit of Halloween!!

Baby McGinnis

Meet McGinnis Alan!
Our bouncing baby boy was born on Wednesday, August 13. He weighed in at 9 pounds, 3 ounces, was 20.5 inches long, and made his appearance at 4:33 pm. For all of you out there wondering, McGinnis is my grandfather's middle name and his mother's maiden name. Alan is Greg's middle name.
