We had a nice visit with all of Kirk's family in Elkin this Thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone for the great food and company! Emma Kate will be 18 months tomorrow, so looking forward to her checkup on Friday. Andrew and Emma Kate are really having fun playing together, which is just wonderful to watch!

Once again, thanks to Suzanne Dillon for getting on me about my posts. It is just too easy to forget to post here when I do it on FB so often and easily. We have had a good Fall thus far. Halloween was a blast(Andrew was Lightning Mcqueen and Emma Kate wore the same ladybug outfit as last year). I also had a great birthday weekend celebrating with Kirk Friday night and then again with family on my birthday. Here are a few pics from our trip to HHI(September) and Halloween, birthday, etc.
Andrew got to go to Target today to buy his first toy with his money from his "manners jar." Hopefully now that he sees what his money can buy, he will continue using good manners, listening, and staying upstairs until 7am every morning! He really wants something that is $22, so we will see if he can get that at some point. Of course I tried to have the conversation of saving money but he didn't understand that yet.
Emma Kate is all over the place..her favorite is to stand on the dinner table. She has a few words, "bump" being her first, along with ball, Mama, Dada, and now Andrew is teaching her how to say candy.
So my big news is that I got my early Birthday/Christmas present...a new camera! I am completely obsessed with it! I have taken over 1000 pictures in just about 5 days. I will be putting some of my favorites from the last week in an album hopefully tonight or tomorrow, so check back for more later. Here are just a couple of some of my favorites!
We are looking forward to school starting after Labor Day and then our family trip to Hilton Head!
We had a great time in Atlanta with my brother's family. Andrew was in in Heaven with all the toys Jake and Charlie have. My niece and Goddaughter is just beautiful and such an awesome baby!!!

Thanks to Suzanne Dillon for making me put an update on here. It has been too long, my apologies! We have had a great summer so far. Haven't done too much, but managed to get to the beach for a few days with Nana and PaPa(Flemings), which was nice.
We have been trying to go to the pool some and Andrew has learned to swim on his own(with a lifejacket), so that has been helpful. While I was on a girls' weekend to FL, Kirk and Andrew played a lot of golf, went bowling, went to see his first movie(Ice Age), and did the pool. I think they really had a good time together. Emma Kate visited my parents, so they could have that good time together.
We are enjoying our summer thus far, although not enjoying this 95-100 degree heat! Kirk and Andrew are playing golf every weekend, so that has kept them both busy. Andrew just moved into his big bed last night and did well(although didn't fall asleep until 9pm and still woke up at 6).
We had a great visit with Kirk's Uncle Reggie, Aunt Jackie, Cousin Allison and Oma(Kirk's mom).
My friend, Sara Grow, took some wonderful pictures of our family and the kiddos. Click here to see all of the pictures in color and black and white, plus a few extras that I took! We were so happy with her work, I already want to book her again this summer.
We also had fun celebrating PaPa's(Hesta's dad) birthday!!
Emma Kate LOVES kissing on her big brother!!
Our little girl is growing up fast. We had a great time at her birthday party. She could have cared less about eating her cake, but loved playing in it. Click here to see many pictures from her party and a few extra.
Sorry it has been so long since an update. Uploading pics on here is not the quickest, so I find myself putting them on my facebook page and forgetting about the website. We have had busy but great two months. Emma Kate started walking at 11 months and she basically runs now, especially anytime she thinks I am going to take something away from her.
We had a great time at the beach with Kirk's family and we also had a great time with Kirk's mom, Oma, at her new place in Pilot Mountain. Andrew fished for the first time and caught a fish right off the bat!
Here is a picture from Mother's Day
The pool opened Memorial Day weekend and much to my dismay, Emma Kate went crazy as soon as she saw the water. She LOVES it just like her big brother, so not sure how I will manage the pool with the two of them. I definitely plan on taking our 13 year old neighbor to help a lot this summer!
And last but not least, we are thrilled to announce the birth of our new niece, Colette Claudia Fleming, born May 19th! She is beautiful and we cannot wait to meet her!!
Even though Emma Kate isn't very big, we still like to do "How big is Emma Kate? SO BIG!"
