Grampy and I have been going through withdrawals this week because we haven’t seen Amara in forever! Her Aunt was here visiting from Virginia last week and it was one of her other Grandpa’s birthdays. PLUS, I worked a lot of extra hours last week so I didn’t get to just “stop by” for any [...]

Amara Logic
Some of the silly little moments with Amara are the ones that are the most fun, the everyday things she says or does. We didn’t get to see her this weekend but I thought I would share a couple of funny Amaraisms that I have missed telling you about recently. I had read about a [...]
Honor Roll Three-Peat
Amara did it again! She not only made Principal’s Honor Roll for this trimester, she made Honor Roll all 3 trimesters! What a way to soar through first grade! We could not be prouder. And she could not have been more excited. When they called her name she flew to the podium — her hair [...]

Emily is one of a kind, made with lots of special love, over-sized rag doll! Even Amara’s Daddy couldn’t get over how tall she is. [...]
Not your ordinary Christmas caroling
Amara spent the night with us last night. I was thinking that we hadn’t really done anything blog worthy until I sat here tonight with Grampy and looked at the pictures. I know I’ve said before that I love living in the digital age but it’s true. When Amara’s Mommy was little I would have [...]
Charlotte the Spider
Today was an exciting day. Amara’s 1st grade class did a Readers Theater performance of Charlotte’s Web and Amara played the role of Charlotte. She was a star and I was so excited that I got to be there to watch. She has the most wonderful 1st grade teacher, I’ve told you about her before [...]
