Evie 35 months and Teryn 12 months enjoyed their Christmas. Evie's into Dora and Elmo and yes Barney still. Her favorite thing to do is cut with scissors, chew gum, and talk talk talk. Teryn has been walking for 2 weeks now and she loves to EAT! The girls are healthyand we enjoyed our time together as a family this Christmas vacation. We count our blessings daily for such a healhty family. God has truly blessed us this 2010 year.

Jamaica 2010 Rachel's 29th Bday

Terrance and I got to spend my birthday in Jamaica. It was our birthday and Christmas combined. It was our first time leaving the girls. The girls held up great with their Granny and Papa and we enjoyed relaxing and looking at God's beautiful creations. It was awesome! But we were both ready to see our girls!

Teryn Turns 1

Teryn turned 1 on December 18, 2010. She weighed in at 18.8 and is 15th percentile for height and weight. Super healthy! Such a blessing. We continue to pray for her and know she will start Evie's school on Monday, January 3. She has quite a personality with sweet and loving, but can stand her own and be fiesty. So we will see how she adjusts to being a 1 year old. Right now. LOVES to sing "If You're Happy and You Know It"..she can clap, stomp and say "Hooray" and loves to EAT, EAT, EAT! Happy Birthday Teryn, we love you..love Daddy, Mama, and Evie

Daddy's favorite part was holding Evie when she was scared of Shamu/Santa

Mama's favorite part was the whole trip!

HAPPY FALL

Fall 2010

Teryn Lois is almost 10 months.
Crawling and pullin' up on things is her deal.
She is eating all kinds of solids and laughing ALL the time! Our giggle box!

Evelyn Faith is growing like a weed but still so very tiny. She is busy learning spanish at school on Monday's, dancing on Tuesday's, and having chapel on Wednesday's. She is constantly singing and constantly asking for CANDY! Her new thing is.....chewing gum! Hilarious..watching her chew it.....thanks to her Daddy she knows how to chew bubble gum like a pro!

New School Year

Evie at 2 1/2 ready to go to her new school with her Dora lunchbox and pink bookbag. Teryn did great at Ms. Lety's (lady who watched Evie as a baby). What a blessing and answer to prayer that they had a great start to their year :)

Lil Bit of Summer 2010

From baseball tournaments to pools to beaches the girls have had a great summer! Evie has learned almost completly how to swim, Teryn has learnedhow to eat sand at the beach, and the list goes on and on. The girls are healthy and looking forward to still 2 more weeks of fun times!

The American Flag

Evie and Teryn love their flags on their shirts. Evie loves singing The National Anthem. Maybe because she heard it at EVERY baseball game and it was drilled in her ears. Either way, I'm tickled to know she LOVES seeing flags and singing such a powerful song. Their Uncle Caleb has been in Japan because he is stationed there for the marines. Please keep him in your prayers in case he is sent to Afghanistan. Thank you to all the men and women who fought and stil fight for our freedom!

Happy Fourth

Teryn's Dedication

Teryn will be 6 months on Friday. Our little "T" was dedicated this past Sunday at church. Thank you to her Granny and Papa and Aunt Chelsea who came down for it. We are so blessed to have her in our life. It is such an honor and gift to be a parent. T and I prayed and thanked God for allowing us to be parents and we promised to raise her in a godly home and continue to take her to church. Our prayer is that she share the same faith as us so that our family will remain together not just here on earth but in heaven too. Thank you God for such a beautiful, healthy baby. We pray she learns to love you even more than we love her!

Two heads are better than one

Evelyn will be 2 1/2 this month. Teryn will be 6 months. These two girls keep me rolling and exhausted!! But hey, it is way worth it! I never thought I could love anyone as much as Evie, but when God blesses parents with children He some how is powerful enough to extend our love. It is not that I love Evie any less, it is just that I have been given more love to share now to both of them. I can see how God loves us. Each new creation He doesn't take love away from others so that He can love on a new child, NO.....he simply extends and expands His love. I'm so thankful to have both the girls in my life. I'm so thankful that they are loved daily by their grandparents who are watching them. I am grateful to have a supportive husband that adores them so much. But mostly I am so very thankful to know they are loved by their Creator and Savior!

Teryn's Ears pierced

Teryn got her ears pierced last month. she was such a big girl! She is five months now and is eating solids for breakfast, lunch, and supper. Hasn't found anything she doesn't like to eat and hasn't complained about a thing! hehe! Evie is being a great big sister and is talking up a storm. They both are loving being with their grandparents while Mama finishes up the last bit of the school year. Brownie is just loving being with them (and catching their spills)

Happy Easter

Freeman Family wishes ya'll a Happy Easter. The girls are growing daily. We are blessed to have had Evie's godparents come visit us before I headed back to work. Evie and Teryn both loved meeting Ms. Lynn and Mr. Steve's dog, Odetta Jean. Evie loves watching as she says "Daddy's baseball team", Teryn has just started giggling and cooing like crazy! It is a lot of fun here!

Back to Work

BOO HOO HOO! Back to work I go and leaving my two little girls behind. But as the good Word says, "His mercies are new EVERY morning"! And I am already seeing His new mercies because our Evie is soooooo pumped her Granny and Papa are staying with us. What a blessing to have our girls grandparents watching them, spending time with them, praying for them, and loving them DAILY! Evie and Teryn will be in good hands so that puts me at ease for my first day back. I'm so thankful to have stayed home for Evie's first 15 weeks of her life and now Teryn's first 13 weeks of her life. God has made it a miracle to allow me to go back to work and not worry b/c the girls will be in the hands of something better than parents, GRANDparents! Thanks Ms. Debbie and Mr. Moses for watching our girls!

Evelyn 26 months, Teryn 12 weeks

Evie: Says "Heyyo" for "hello", "Taaarence" for Terrance, "Racher" for"Rachel" (yep she knows our first names".....loves to call me "mommy or mom b/c she knows I hate that...the correct way is "Mama"
She is also going as she says "pee pee in potty" a few times a day (not real consistent). She doesn't want anyone to hold "HER baby Teryn" except Mama
OH, and this is Evie and Daddy's baseball facility. You'd think she'd beimpressed with how big Chipper Jones is...but NO....she only cares that "Mama ...dirt on shoes". Chipper has dirt on the bottom of his cleates! haha

Teryn: Can lay on her belly and lift head for long periods of time and look left and right. She loves to smile at noises and at herCAAACRAZY sister. She is sleeping up to 10 hours at night!

Fun with the Ladies

Every day is something new. Evie is sporting Daddy's hat backwards. She loves it when "Daddee ome" she says. Little Teryn is content just watching. The picture of the two of them sitting, Evie put it upon herself to bring Teryn's rocking chair close to her so Teryn could observe her cooking at her littlekitchen (cracked me up). Then of course we have fashion queen with her sunglasses! The ladies are well and keeping me on my toes!

Out on the Porch

Evie and Teryn love being outside...can't seem to think who they get that after. But, Evie is obsessed with painting lately, she has to take them everywhere, from room to room and this picture here shows you how she takes her paint (in her pockets...not viewable are her two back pockets each filled with a paint canister) haha! And Teryn is so laid back she just laughs and smiles as her big sister gets carried away. So looks like I have a busy body daugther and then a calm daugther. How neat that they balance each other out so well!

Valetine's Day 2010

THE FREEMAN GIRLS

Teryn and Evie at her party at the park

Evie turned 2

Ms. Lynn thank you for the ABSOLUTELY beautiful blanket you made for me. I love it....my mama loves the colors in it too.

Daddy (or Coach T to most hitters) is showing me how to hold the bat, where to stand, how to grip the bat, where to focus, and how to shift my weight (ALL in our first lesson). haha! j/k Daddy let me hit the ball with my new birthday bat WAY FAR! Watch me Daddy!
