singing

December 2011

The girls had a great December. Teryn turned 2. She got rid of her passy, she is still potty training. She is counting to 10 in her own language. She tries so hard to keep up with big sis. She sang Happy Birthday to herself 100 times at least.

Evie sang Christmas carols at her school play, and has sang them EVERY day since them. This girl loves to sing. She is cutting, gluing, writing, and learning to ride her bike with training wheels. She told me in the car "God lives in soldiers hearts, even though they gave him boo boo's. But I am Jesus' friend and I would never give him boo boo's". Don't you love a child's innocence!

They both loving pretending to tell secrets and whispering/tickling peoples ears. They love eating snacks while jumping on the trampoline. Evie would dance all day if she could and Teryn would be held or eat all day if she could.

The girls enjoyed visiting Granny and Papa, Grandma and Grandaddy, Ms. Lynn and Mr. Steve came to visit with Odetta (their dog). The girls built gingerbread houses, snowmen, bells, dyed rice krispy treats, looked at Christmas lights, and went to Sea World.

Happy 2nd Bday Teryn Lois Freeman

Teryn will be 2 on December 18, but we celebrated a bit early. Teryn we are so proud of you and you have grown so much in the last 2 years. We pray for you to continue growing strong in the Lord. You are beautiful and your sweet, giggly personality is contagious. Thank you for being a sweet little sister to Evie and we look forward to you being a big sister real soon. We love you!
Love, Daddy and Mama and Evie

JAGS GAME

Thanksgiving Program 2011

Thanksgiving weekend was full of fun! Evie started us off with a bang being an incredible Indian in her pilgrim/indian performance. She sang 5 songs that her school taught them and was not a bit stage afraid.

Then came Tday dinner at Aunt Mar's. The girls had fun with Cousin Nolan and Cousin Liam.

Later came the EVA football game and a trip to Tallahassee and a stay at a hotel. The girls always love hotels!

Lastly came the girls first time to an NFL game. Jags vs Texans. They made it to 1/2 time, but what an experience.

Yes, we are so blessed to have each other, all the time together this past weekend and so much more!

happy halloween 2011

Evie and Teryn experienced their first real trick or treating in the neighborhood. All Evie wanted to do was knock on the door. They also had a blast at a nearby church's fall festival. Just think next year their will be THREE of them to dress up.

PUMPKIN PATCH 2011

Evie had a blast making funny faces and watching older kids at the pumpkin path this week.
She wants to be a ghost for Halloween, but Mama is convincing her to be a princess.


Teryn loved cheesing for the pictures. She couldn't keep her hands off all the tiny pumpkins. She will be a princess to for Halloween.

Weekend with Granny

The girls enjoyed their 4 days with their Granny. The loved picking her up from the train station. They loved her cooking. They loved her holding them. And then they loved seeing the "choo choo" train as the video below will show!

Circus 2011

Doin Good

The girls are doing great! They are really growing. Teryn is talking up a storm (still not able to make out everything she says). Although we do ask her, "What is your name?" and she says, "Evie!" haha
Evie is doing great. She is busy at school and knows how to swing herself on the swing "all by herself".

First Day of School 2011-2012

Both Daddy and Mama were blessed to be able to take the girls together to school on their firs tday. Evie is dressed with her cool outfit and awesome "light up" shoes for her first day of Pre-K3 class. Teryn is dressed so cute with her lime green and her new sketcher shoes too. She is ready for her Pre-K1 class. Evie has a new teacher this year named Ms. Priscilla from Ecuador. Teryn has her favorite teacher from last year "Ms. Kristy".

The girls have done good the first two days back at school. They are enjoying their friends and Teryn has not used the passy for 2 days (unbelievable I know).

Continue praying for them that they have a healthy, safe, and fun year!

Airplane Amusement Park ride

Teryn with a purple cast

Teryn came home last Monday from school with pain in her right arm. She would not use it to eat, pick up anything (so we knew something was up). Tuesday morning we got xrays (tiniest xrays I've ever seen) and it came back with the right ulna and radius both having a buckle fracture in each. Orthopedic surgeon put a purple cast on and we are in it for 3 weeks. Teryn was so brave walking in the doc office all by herself, sat on her Daddy's lap and never cried. She is adjusting well. Looking forward to July 6 coming so we can go to the beach and pool again.

Oklahoma Visit

The girls went on their first ever airplane ride from Jax to Atlanta then from Atl to Tulsa, Ok. They did great, Evie asked a million questions, drank sprite, ate peanuts, complained of ear pain a bit, and talked on her plane phone while Teryn sat with her Granny or me. Crazy drama almost missing first flight and only being 10 feet away from correct flight, delays in Atlanta, and then mechanial problems on the return. But God looked after us and we made the flight there and back safely so thank you for your prayers.

The girls had a blast hugging and watching Odetta. She was so good with them and the girls missing petting her soft fluffy fur.

Ms. Lynn had so much arranged to keep the girls busy and happy. She thought of everything and the girls enjoyed it. We can't wait to see her and visit with her again.

The flight attendant gave Evie a pin to wear that was in the shape of wings. I am proud of how they behaved and would do it all over again, thanks to the help of their Granny.

Happy Mother's Day 2011

Dear Evelyn and Teryn,
Mama loves you so much! Thank you God for bringing them into my life and blessing me with the opportunity to raise two beautiful girls. I pray I train them up in the way you desire God. Girls please remember that Mama is proud of Who you are, What you are, but most importantly WHOSE you are! (children of God) I love you and look forward to us being best friends forever.
Love,
Mama

Easter 2011

april 2011

Evie 3 and Teryn 16 months are really enjoying playing with each other. Evie is reading her bible to Teryn while they both sit on their windowsill in their room. Evie and Teryn have enjoyed their swing set from last April (as long as the caterpillars and mosquitos are out of the way). Evie is enjoying painting, drawing, learning her letters, and watching the Wiggles. Teryn is starting to talk more and has tried the potty a few times (no luck but hey if she's excited, we are excited). The girls are growing big time...now I see why my Mama always said " I wish I could keep ya'll little."

March Madness

Evie and Teryn are growing up quite a lot. It is madness at our house with baseball scheduling. We are on the go every weekend. We are looking foward to spring break..just 1 week away! The girls are doing great! Evie is 3 and acting 12. She loves to dress up, read, draw, cut, and ride her Dora trike. Teryn is 15 mths today and loves eating, pickin on her sister, being held, and being outside! They are quite fun to watch at ballgames as they only want to play in the DIRT, DIRT, DIRT! Good thing the beach is nearby, so we can go from DIRT to SAND!

Happy Valentine's Day

The girls enjoyed their visit to Albany. They have also enjoyed the weather outside these last 2 weeks, spring fever! Teryn is 14 months, has 4 teeth and is babbling like crazy! Her favorite thing to do is take Evie's toys and run away ( I think she likes the thrill of being chased) Evie's up to cutting and coloring and learning letters each week. She also is loving dressing up into dresses and "dance shoes" is what she calls them. We are looking forward to baseball season following Daddy to all his games!

Happy Birthday to Evie (the big 3)

Happy Birthday Evelyn Faith Freeman! We love you and hope you have a fabulous year being 3! Continue singing loud with your little gruff voice, continue reading God's word as you make up each story on your own, continue loving Teryn with your many hugs and kisses, and always remember that we love Who you are, What you are, and WHOSE you are!
