A Bittersweet Goodbye

Well, today was our nanny, Jessica's last day with us. I am so excited for her and her new life that awaits her in West Virginia. She will soon become a married woman and a football coach's wife. But, I have to say, she will be SORELY missed here in Georgia. She has become a second mother to our kids and they have learned so much from her. As we said our goodbyes today, we all found a few tears in our eyes. I just think none of us knew how much we were all going to get attached.

Yesterday, we threw Jessica a bridal shower at our house. She got some wonderful gifts and I hope it helped her get excited about starting a new home and getting ready for the wedding. Here are some pictures from the shower of Ame and Amelia (Max's best bed playmate) and Kinsey with her good friend Hannah, who comes to play 3 days a week.


After the shower, we headed to Athens for Max's friend, Davis's first birthday. The weather was beautiful, despite a few strong gusts of wind and all the kids seemed to have a wonderful time playing in their backyard. Happy Birthday Davis!
