What a night!

Tonight I was invited to attend the Robert S. Folsom Leadership Award gala where First Lady Laura Bush was the recipient. What a night! There were 1000 people (lots of Methodists) at the Hilton Anatole and the entire evening was very well done. The food was delicious and the presentations were great. Ray Hunt did a great job as the emcee and they included videos from family members and friends congratulating her. One of the First Lady's college friends talked about how the First Lady spoke on TV after 9/11 encouraging us to turn off the TV and reassure our children that even though there were bad people in the world, there were many, many good people in the world as well. I remember the First Lady doing that and I remember the amazing amount of respect that I had for her. She spoke tonight as well and she was eloquent and was beautiful. She really did look good! Everyone was also gifted with a children's book that Laura and Jenna Bush have written (it isn't in the book stores yet), I can't wait to read it to Madeleine.

Pro sitter

Everett turned 6 months old yesterday and is becoming a pro sitter! Standing is next...

The Kite Runner

What a movie! The story was amazing, the movie was gorgeous and I loved seeing Afghanistan and learning about what the country used to be like. Highly recommend this one! I didn't read the book, but Lee highly recommends the book as well. The director is also directing the new James Bond movie...

A gorgeous day outside!

Today was gorgeous outside! Lee set up the bounce house and Kristin brought Sydney over to bounce with Madeleine. The boys enjoyed the grass, and Everett loved rolling over on his blanket. It was 79 degrees and sunny!

Madeleine playing with the baby toys...

Here is Madeleine, dressed in her tinkerbell costume playing in Everett's exersaucer. Madeleine thought it was so funny, but then she couldn't get out by herself!

Here's the tinkerbell outfit complete with wings!

I want milk!

Everett got his first taste of food today, rice cereal. Because I create skinny children, the doctor had asked us to wait until Everett was 6 months old before we started giving him anything other than milk from mommy (higher in calorie than food). So, tonight was the night! (Everett will be 6 months on April 5)... The verdict is still out...

White Men Can't Jump

Or Can They???
(For those uninitiated, Everett is jumping in his jumper that is placed in a door frame)

Watch out Girls, here comes a heart breaker!!!
