Chicago

Friday night David met us at the airport. Our flight got in around 9:00pm and we headed for the metro. Anna Claire was excited for her first "train ride." The next morning we headed to the American Girl Store. It was a bit overwhelming. So many choices. Anna Claire decided on a red bathing suit for her doll, and Gracie got a Chicago t-shirt for hers. They could hardly wait to get home to change them. We had gyros for lunch and then stopped by the Hershey Factory for dessert!

Bendaroos!

Anna Claire has been asking for these things since before Christmas. When we were in Camden she played with them at Callyn's house, and came home telling Grandaddy about them. Well, not long later, we were on the computer ordering some for the girls! They finally came in this week and Anna Claire has loved them. Here is her latest project.

Oh yeah, our heater is fixed and it is 70 degrees outside!

More Snow!!!

The Crew!

Saturday night we came home to no heat! We packed up and have been at the Green's since. The girls think this is the greatest thing ever. While I do love have extra adults around I am ready to be back at home! Hopefully the heat will be fixed soon!

Sunday afternoon Anna Claire was talking to Gran who said they had snow. She asked Anna Claire if it was snowing here. Anna Claire said it already snowed here last month. Little did she know that Monday morning she would wake up to more snow! They were so excited and couldn't wait to get outside.

Fun on the sled.

Building a snowman.

Gracie loved the baby's paci!

UNC Housestaff Ball

Saturday night Kim and I had a fun date night.

We went to the ball with our friends and celebrated Mardi Gras!

Anna Claire's Rosebush

Digging the hole!

Getting ready to plant.

Filling with dirt.

Giving it plenty of water.

Anna Claire was so proud of the rosebush she, Gran, and Grandaddy planted!

Camden Snapshots

So I am very behind on updating. Maybe over the next couple days I can catch up. Here are a few snapshots from our trip home a couple weeks ago.

Pennies in the Bank!

Every night before bed Grandaddy empties his pockets and the girls fill their piggies! Grandaddy has been doing this since Anna Claire was born and has taught them both to put the coins in the banks. They love doing this!

Happy Birthday Grandaddy!

Everyone helped Grandaddy blow out his candles!

Dermatology on Call!

Getting ready to do a biopsy!

Popcorn and a Movie!

Gran sent the girls a new veggie tales movie,

so last night they pulled out their chairs and ate popcorn while enjoying the movie.

Read Book!

Last night Gracie was reading her book.

She went on for several minutes just like she knew exactly what she was reading.

Checking Anna Claire's Pearly Whites

Anna Claire had her first dental appointment Tuesday afternoon. She did a great job sitting in the chair like a big girl. Her favorite part was when they painted her teeth with fluoride. She said her teeth were sparkling!
