Friday Flashback

2005- Phoebe loves to hit baseballs. She is 3 years old here, and still continues to knock em out of the park. OK, she's not that good, but she does hit pretty good. Today being a warm 70 degrees, I'm sure she'll be out there practicing her skills.

Friday Flashback

April 2003

This is Phoebe, age 11 months. She was not walking or crawling at all. She just sat where I put her and played right there . She loved to read, and still does. She started to read for real at age two. It was a Dick, Jane and Sally book.

She didn't learn to tie her shoes at that early of an age, but she sure tried.

I loved the sweet little clothes she had. And she had many! She was my baby doll to dress.

Then God blessed us with another girl so I could use these clothes again.
Abby - 7 months

Friday Flashback

March 2003 - Phoebe was 10 months old. She just got her 1st tooth. Her blue eyes are now green. I could still put hats on her without her taking them off. We were living in NC at the time so there was no need for winter coats while taking our walk. I could eat her cheeks right off.

Where do the years go? sniff sniff

Friday Flashback

March 2007. Abigail was 2 and a half. She was entertaining us. She still sings around the house all the time. That's also a favorite outfit for her. Next to nothing in winter. I miss age 2.

January 2007

The girls were have a fun time. Phoebe was spitting water out of her mouth, and Abby was enjoying the droplets.

These days there is no way they will bathe together. Because they have body parts to hide from each other, ya know.

Friday Flashback

January 2005. We were living in North Carolina at the time. One day Phoebe is eating frozen ice thingies outside, the next day Phoebe is the frozen ice thingy.

Friday Flashback

Is it really Friday? I thought it was Saturday all day. Went to lunch and shopping with my high school friend. We don't get together as much as we should, so this was a nice treat. We had a great time. We went to Olive Garden, and they were out of the thing that she wanted, and out of the 2 things that I wanted. What's up with that? We got there at 11:30, so it's not like they were serving it all day. I ended up ordering some cheese filled ravioli with portabella mushrooms and strips of steak on it. It was sooo good. The steak was so tender I could cut it with a fork. I think I have a new favorite. Then we went to Hobby Lobby, to check out the after Christmas deals. Nothing grabbed me, except some Christmas stickers for my Christmas cards. Half off. I got 4 packs for under $3. Sale ends tomorrow, I may end up running there again to stock up on more varieties of stickers.

Here is Abby, 1 year ago, in January. We were getting ready to go sledding, and she just couldn't handle the waiting. She fell asleep on the penguin snow tube.

Christmas 2008 at Perry's moms house. Is that a flashback? crappy photo, taken with a phone. When will I learn to bring a normal camera along with me?

Friday Flashback

This was me trying to get a good picture for Christmas cards. Christmas 2005. We had just moved in, Dec. 1, hubby had to leave for Italy for work, for 2 weeks. So here I was alone, unpacking a whole house, had to get a tree, and decorate for Christmas, get cards and pictures out, not to mention take care of two kids. No big deal, it got done. I think I used the first picture for the cards. Boy, I had chubby cheeked kids.

Happy Friday. Elaine at Matters of the Heart had a cute blog post today, and I had to borrow it. Ok, I stole her idea. But I loved it and wanted to have my own Friday Flashback. This weeks flashback.....December 2004.
Here is Phoebe, age 2 and a half. Her way of decorating the tree. All decor at her level. I think I kept it that way too. That is some crazy do she has, and quite the chubby cheeks. sniff, sniff.
Here's Abigail on her first Christmas. She was 3 months old. Where did we get these nut storing, cheeky kids? I could nibble on that again. sniff, sniff. She still plays with that bear, but it doesn't look quite so big.

I love to look back on what my kids looked like. I'm looking forward to the next Friday Flashback. Join in.
