MONTH 1:
Charlotte's first official "Hey I'm 1 Month Now" post got lost among...well...LIFE HAPPENING! I really want to blog as much about her as I have about Avery, but I know that's gonna be tough. However, better later than never!
In Charlotte's first month, she was a busy little baby. She got jaundice, which only lasted for about 2 days. I noticed how Paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07358303795454993714noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159208737674996752.post-7142187086239278602013-06-05T16:34:00.000-04:002013-06-05T16:34:20.833-04:00Last Day of School
School is out for summer and another great year at Celebration Academy has come and gone. Avery had WONDERFUL teachers and an excellent group of classmates who kept the year entertaining.
The parents joined together with the kids for a picnic in the parking lot to say goodbye for summer.
Here she is...MRS SUE!!!

This was the first year Avery participated in gymnastics. I knew it was time to sign her up when she was climbing and balancing on the furniture at home.
She took lessons at Gymnastix Training Center in Buford, Ga. She loved it and here are pictures from the end of the year "Xtravaganza".

Happy Anniversary to my very best friend and husband...Michael! Today is our 8 year anniversary and I thought it would be fun to take a look back at our time together.
Here we are in Miami on college spring break. This was the day he told me he loved me...regardless of my freshman 15...(and then some!) I loved him too...regardless if he wore cowboy boots on the beach.

Avery had her very first dance recital on May 4. She has taken ballet at Buford School of Ballet for 2 years and when they are 3, they can participate in the recital. The theme was Alice in Wonderland and her class was the "Little Alice". This was a huge deal for me as her mom because I LOVED dancing and can remember my first dance recital when I was 3:)

Where has the time gone? Our sweet little 'baby' is now 4 years old! She wanted to have her party at Monkey Joe's...so that's what we did.
Her very best buds were there to celebrate with her. Alyssa, Avery F., Jon Jon, and so many more great friends she loves to spend time with came to the party.
It didn't take long for her face to turn red from all the running, jumping, and playing.Paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07358303795454993714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159208737674996752.post-66383958374369476202013-05-29T12:28:00.000-04:002013-05-29T12:28:19.229-04:00Charlotte Elsie Ewing is born

Our baby has gone back to school. I had mixed emotions all month knowing she was going to be attending 4 days a week, but after I met her teacher twice, she relieved any anxiety I had. This morning, I was excited and ready to send her off and just to start back on a routine. I think it caught Michael off guard a bit because all he kept saying was, "She's just a tiny little babyPaigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07358303795454993714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159208737674996752.post-3885940090475228532012-08-26T20:33:00.001-04:002012-08-26T20:39:29.313-04:00Ballet...Round 2
Ballet began early this summer and Avery was ready to go. I was pleased that she wanted to do it again (since I had already signed her up and all!!). The best part about this year is that her very best friend, Alyssa, is in her class. Her mom and I plan on carpooling together.

She was actually pretty excited about it. I prepped her last night and pretended I was the dentist and flossed all of her teeth and then brushed them. We faithfully brush her teeth every day, so I was not worried about any cavities.
She sometimes resists the toothbrush, but I pretend there are granddaddy long legs and bugs Paigehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07358303795454993714noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159208737674996752.post-39541819425830930202012-06-26T16:56:00.000-04:002012-06-26T16:56:11.672-04:00According to Avery
Here are a few random comments made by Avery. They always seem so funny in person....hopefully the humor won't be lost on here.
While playing pretend, Avery pointed to me and said, "That's my sweetheart." I asked, "What can daddy be?"
"A WIZARD." ((okkkkaayyy???))
Throughout our entire vacation, she demanded to only drink "Gator Juice".

The first week of June provided us a chance to get away, relax, and eat.eat.eat!!! We went to St. Simons Island, Georgia to stay for an entire week at The Beach Club. Even though it did rain the last half of the week, we were able to get in some beach time.

Avery's first year of ballet is complete! I was so excited when she started her very first day back in September, and it's even better to see how much she's learned throughout the year. Buford School of Ballet is a great studio and they also incorporate their faith in Christ into their teaching of dance.

Today our baby is a whopping THREE YEARS OLD! I'm shaking my head thinking about where all the time went. She has brought us so much joy, happiness, and lack of sleep these past three years. The longer her hair gets, the bigger the bags under my eyes get :) Even though she is a handful and a half, I think she's a keeper!
