Spring Break and Easter

Spring Break

Allie and Chris were on Spring Break last week. We really didn't do much. We spend a lot of time cleaning out stuff in the house. Avery was sick the first few days and the weather was not so good. So the girls spend a lot of time playing inside. On Thursday, the weather was great so the girls and I met my aunt Connie and her kids at the zoo. Everyone else in Atlanta was at the zoo too. Then we went for lunch at the Varsity. It was a lot of fun and Allie and Avery loved spending time with their cousins.

Easter Weekend

Saturday we went to the egg hunt at Cedar Grove church. It was fun to see our friends from there. The kids had a great time. Then, we went home and my brother and his family came in from Alabama. We really enjoyed spending time with them.

Easter Day

The Easter bunny came. We had a good day at church. Then we went over to a my aunt Cheryl and uncle Steve's for a great lunch. The kids had another egg hunt and it was great to be with family. My parents didn't get to come down this year and we missed having them.

Grandparents Day

Friday was Grandparent's Day at Arlington. Allie was so excited to have the grandparents come to school. The kids did a little program and the grandparents visited their classroom. Chris' mom came and my parents came too. My niece and nephew that live in Alabama were on Spring Break, so they came down with my parents. We were really glad to see them. The weather was terrible! It rained the whole weekend, so we really didn't do anything but hang aroung our house. I got some good pictures if the kids with grandparents. (Thanks to Jackie.) I actually forgot my camera, but she let me use hers.

Times Are Changing

So I can't believe Avery is 2 and 1/2 already. She has been asking for a big girl bed. So, I decided to take the rail off her crib. So she was very excited about her "big girl bed". Which is actually the same bed, but with a small rail. Anyway, She has done really well. She went right to sleep the first night. It was kind of weird for me the next morning. I heard her wake up and then in one minute she was standing in front of me, very proud of herself. She didn't take a nap today, but she stayed in her bed until I told her she could get up! We will see if that lasts. I am sure in a few days she will realize she can get up and ask for water, potty, to get in our bed, and all the other things her sister asks for. We will hope she continues to do well.

All ready for bed

Silly faces!

She asked if Allie could sleep with her. "No way"

Don't you just love sleeping children? These are some of my favorite pictures. They look so sweet and peaceful.

Update

I thought I would give some updates about what is going on here in the King house. Allie's cheerleading has ended for the year. She is enjoying kindergarten and I can't believe it is almost over. I am amazed at how much she is learning. Avery is now potty trained! We are very happy about that, but now we have to visit every bathroom in every store. We are about to make her crib into a big girl bed. She is growing so fast. Chris has been really busy with school lately. Arlington boys and girls basketball teams won the state tournament this year. We were all very excited about that. But the biggest news is that we will be having another baby in October! We are all very excited about this too. Please keep us in your prayers.

Alanta Zoo

So we finally took the girls to the zoo. We have been wanting to go for a while. Maybe I should say the girls and I have been wanting to go. Chris could have cared less if we ever went, but he went with us anyway. He did have a good time and we even got a year pass so we can go back. Chris and Allie were out of school for President's Day and so went after Chris' doctor's appointment. It turned out to be right at Avery's nap time, but she was very good and didn't get tired until the very end. The girls liked seeing all the animals. We saw the pandas, but our favorite were the the gorillas. There were lots of babies. They were wrestling around together. Allie and Avery liked that. They talked all the way home about coming home and playing monkeys.

Valentine's Day and Warm Weather

It has been a long time since I posted last. I just realized I had hardly taken any pictures in January. I am going to try to do better. We have been enjoying the nice weather lately. I took a few pictures when we were outside the other day. Also, Allie had a Valentine's party at school.
