Cousinly Love

Sweet pictures of the cousins however the chlorine got the best of them!

My brother and sis n law came into town and I took the day off to spend with Alair while Chad was in meetings. The kids got to swim at the Polaris Hilton and had a ball doing so! The kids were just asking me about Camden so it was perfect timing that he came into town. We got to go to the park too because it was nice out ... well forty some degrees nice out but hey... it's February and JUST about March so it was time to get out and get some fresh air.  My nephew Cooper who is two is growing quickly and looks like a big boy with his haircut.. he's quite a cuddler too!  All in all a great impromptu trip by my family and we love and miss them dearly!

Tiny Dancer

Here is Ava practicing a dance routine she is learning for a May recital she will be in.  She is taking dance for the first time at Dublin Dance Arts Academy and she really enjoys it.  I'm glad I've gotten her into it and Andersen goes with us every Friday and cheers her on.  He starts t-ball in April so we will be running lots I'm sure!  Here's a sneak peek of her doing her thing!!

March for Babies Kickoff

Last Sunday we attended the March of Dimes kickoff event for their walk, March for Babies.  We had a nice time and I must say, my kiddo's were a few of the oldest ones there (sad face).  There are obviously families involved who are fresh off the NICU rollercoaster and then there is us.... six years removed from it.  We will be doing the walk again this year and although we may walk every year from here on out, I think this may be it for fundraising. I hate to see it come to a close but I am feeling it may be time.

As a coordinator of special events and coordinating the Kidney Walk, the average "life" of a friends and family team is 3 to 5 years, tops!  This will be our SEVENTH walk so I count that as a job well done for Team Parker Twins and not too shabby raising almost $30,000 dollars for the organization.  I have had a wonderful experience, many mementos to reflect our walks and A and A are finally understanding what it means to have been born premature and why it is we give back. 

Andersen enjoyed himself at the kickoff as you can see!  Afterwards we went to a movie and it saw the secret world of Arietty .. Ava fell asleep with ten minutes to go. Although growing up at six and tugging at my heart immensely, she is still my baby fallin asleep during movies...  guess it's the little things we hold onto.

Pajama Day

Ava had pajama day at school and was just thrilled. She remembers having a few during preschool and boy does she ever hold onto things that were associated with preschool. I guess in the big leagues (kindergarten) they tend to NOT do things like PJ day as much. Her class had earned the right to a pajama day for good behavior and they were able to bring a stuffed animal. She was happy to wear Hello Kitty PJ's and well... she has many pillow pets and chose to take a ladybug by the name of "love bug". I had to snap a photo of her to remember this special day in K!
