Our Future Vet....

Ok so not really a vet, but today I decided to play "vet" with Sarah Anne, well not vet as much as boarding and taking care of her random stuffed animals.  She LOVED it and I know her Aunt Amy would be proud.  She seemed a little young to try school although I'm sure that will start soon too!!  Here is the way you take care of your stuffed animals....

Hello Dr. Sarah Anne Norman here...How may I help you?

Let me see what I can do.

Time to fix up a little snack.

Here Mr. Bear your snack is ready!

Are you enjoying it?

She is actually saying "Num num num" here as he is eating it ("Yum yum yum")



Now for a litte water...

Night night Mr. Bear.

She was rocking him going "Shhh shhh shhh".

Love you Mr. Bear.

Now time for another patient.

Calling to confirm the appointment.

Have to cook some more snacks...

She would lift up him nose to get the food to his mouth.

Time for a little drink.

We went to wrap up Beggars, instead Sarah Anne decided it was time fo her to rest.

Night night Sarah Anne and Beggars!

Sarah Anne's "patients".

Shhh...Night night!

Confessions of a Library Addict

So Sarah Anne and I have a confession....we are ADDICTED to the library.  We have been to story time three times this week, but all in the company of our wonderful friends so I don't think it should count against us!  Tuesday we went to the Lexington library and they did a GREAT job.  They had bubbles and balls and Toto was there so Sarah Anne was very pleased!  Wednesday we went to the Irmo library for story time and this time Toto was there along with Isaiah.  Sarah Anne also has made a new friend who also "library hops".  Today was big kid story time at Irmo and Sarah Anne went with her friend Lucy (who is 4).  I was surprised but she did really well and sat in my lap or danced right by me until the end.  Then we went to Chick-Fil-A and Lucy helped Sarah Anne climb up in the playground.  Sarah Anne thinks she is such a big girl and loved playing with Lucy.  So I forgot the camera the first two library days so I only have pictures from today....

This is what a Library Addict looks like.....
Can you take me to the library?

I really need to go to the library!

PLEASE TAKE ME TO THE LIBRARY!!

Oh good a book to hold me over until I get there.

Finally at the library working on a puzzle....Notice the Madelon that Library Addicts get for reading too much!

Sarah Anne met a new friend!

SHAKE IT SARAH ANNE!!

SHAKE IT SHAKE IT!

Dancing dancing.

WHEEE!!!!

At the playground like a big girl!

Sarah Anne LOVED it!!

Day Trip

This week has been crazy.  Monday Matt got his promotion, Tuesday Mama and Daddy came for a visit, Wednesday Matt didn't have to go until 10 which was VERY nice, and then Thursday we went for a random trip to Aiken to keep Mama company while Daddy taught.  We had a great time and were VERY busy.  We went shopping, met Buddy's teaching friends, got to see Aunt Peggy and Mackie, and went swimming.  We didn't take a ton of pictures because we were on the go but still had a great time!  Sarah Anne was WORN out on the way home and slept the whole way but here are a very pictures from the adventure:
Nana, Ellie and I are ready to shop!

Now its time to swim!!

Let's go get in that pool!

Bouncy, bouncy Sarah Anne.
Sarah Anne loves her Nana!

Let's go Nana!!

She found a random toy in the pool and loved it!

Buddy came to play too!

Let me get it Buddy!

Whiskers is BACK!

Sarah Anne got a package and was VERY pleased that her friend Whiskers was back with her.  She cracked me up the way she sat Whiskers down and would have serious conversations with him.  Here are the pictures:
Whiskers I have missed you...let me tell you what you've missed.

Whiskers what is wrong with your tag?

The tag fell off and she was VERY UPSET and wanted to put it back.

Silly Whiskers!

A Quick Visit

Nana and Buddy came in for a quick visit on their way to Aiken/Augusta for Daddy to teach a class.  It was really fun and we were able to continue the celebration of Matt's promotion and go to lunch with them.  Of course Sarah Anne got to play with her Nana and Buddy so she was very pleased.  Here are some of the pictures from their adventures!

I'm very sleepy...what is going on?

OH NANA YOU ARE HERE!

There is Buddy!

Buddy taught Sarah Anne about lemons she LOVED them....

Would you like some Nana?


A little sour

Mmm...I was hungry!

Thanks Buddy I like to play ball.

Let me back there!

Silly girl!
