Olivia had a great check up. She weighs 10 lbs. 7.5 oz and is 21.5 inches long. She was so happy until they gave her the 4 shots. But, she is a trooper. Here are some pics of her in the doctors office.

Callie and her "worries"


Callie's class has a "worry" envelope at school. They use this envelope to put their worries in. Well, Wednesday night the Kindergarten classes had Family Night and Callie showed us her "worry" rabbit with envelope. I asked if I could read her "worries" and she said yes. Callie's #1 "worry" is that...her daddy will get stopped by the cops. Is this not the funniest thing ever? Well, we go in her room and she shows me her journal that she draws pictures in and then rights a sentence telling about the picture. Guess what she drew? A car, Derron standing behind the car, a police car behind Derron complete with red and blue lights. The sentence read: I hope my Daddy doesn't get stopped by the cops. I didn't have the camera, but thank goodness for technology and camera phones!! I took a picture of the entry. Hopefully Derron can calm her "worries" and assure her that the cops won't be stopping him anytime soon.

Madison's 3rd grade performance


We don't really look forward to the yearly school performances around here because our school uses them as a way to get you to the PTA meetings. However, the kids love them and they always do a really good job. Madison's 3rd grade music program was Thursday night and it was very fun to watch. For the past 6 weeks we have heard nothing but Michael Jackson songs. I am seriously tired of hearing MJ and if I never have to hear it again that is fine with me. I do believe Madison has developed a love of classic MJ songs and a love of classic Jackson 5 songs. They sang ABC, Rockin Robin, Man in the Mirror, and We are the World. They also danced to Thriller and Beat It. This was hilarious. The Thriller video gave Madison nightmares so the fact that she enjoyed dancing to it was quite funny to us. The sweetest thing was hearing 100 3rd graders sing We are the World, because they truly can make a change for a better tomorrow. Anyway...If I can figure out how to load the video from our camcorder onto the computer and post a video I will. If not the few still pictures we got will have to work. Madison had a speaking part in the program and right as it was her turn the little boy in front of her turned and knocked the microphone and stand off the stage. The microphone was no longer working and Madison gasped and threw her hands up in the air with a look of OH NO! What am I going to do ? on her cute little face. However, the music teacher proceeded to let everyone know that Madison didn't need a microphone, because her voice was loud enough without it. Madison did great. And if you know Madison you know that she NEVER does anything half way. She insisted on having her hair done for the program which I of course said yes to. She is our little drama queen and we love her so much and we are so proud of her and her performance. Now to get her to stop singing MJ songs... Sorry the quality of the picture is not that great. It was taken with my cell phone at my friend Rochelle's house. Who by the way can get anyone's hair to hold curl.

Olivia's Phot Shoot


I love pictures.I love having pictures of my kids taken. I love dressing them up. But, I have never had so much fun as I did with Olivia on Wednesday. She is such a trooper. She put up with 4 outfit changes and didn't even cry. She is such a good baby and very photogenic. I am working on the slide show now. Until then here is a sneak peek.
