Lindsey Davenport



I got to meet my favorite tennis player, Lindsey Davenport, on Monday. Jeff called me Monday morning, and said she was doing a free clinic up at Richland. I took the girls up there to watch, and they let us get a picture with her even though we weren't registered to play. I would have loved to be able to play with her in the clinic, but my big tummy and Baby Owen wouldn't have appreciated it :)

 

Lindsey was so nice and friendly. I was very impressed with her. She got down and introduced herself to the girls, and they actually told her their names. I was a little starstuck I will admit.  :)

 

We watched her clinic for awhile

Then the girls got a little bored and started playing with the camera. We left after they got some good pictures of everything :)

 



I got a call from school about an hour after I dropped them off on Thursday, and they said Madison's neck was hurting and she wanted to come home. I got there and she wouldn't hold her neck up straight. We went to the doctor, and she diagnosed a bad crick in the neck. She had to spend the day lying on her back with ice then heat on her neck and Motrin. After Macey came home from school, I went in to check on them and they had both fallen asleep. Friday Madison was much better, but still favoring her left side. Hopefully she'll get completely over it soon, and it won't be a frequent thing.

Atlanta Trip

We took the kiddos with Mimmy and Pops to Atlanta to visit with Mimmy's relatives. It's always a fun, quick, mostly in the car, trip, but the kids still love to go. The adults love to go for the shopping :) We were able to see everyone except for Aunt Bee and Uncle Bill which is usually hard to do. We were able to go to Uncle John's 90th birthday party, so that was fun, especially for Mimmy to see her cousins that she hadn't seen in a long time. 

 At the hotel the first night. Gotta love Netflix on the Ipad when there aren't good channels on the t.v. Helps them calm down for bedtime.

Macey slept in Mimmy and Pops' room so they were up first. Mimmy sent me this pic of Macey eating breakfast. She loves hotels...everything about them..especially the breakfasts in the mornings..she can put it away :)

Macey has wanted for months to send Patsy Ruth some flowers. She was finally able to deliver them in person. She was so excited to give them to her...such a tender heart.

 Madison and Macey made cards for her

 Patsy Ruth said she wanted to learn to knit. So we brought her one of those easy looms to learn on. Jessie is trying to teach her how to use it.

Luckily she lives in 2 rooms in her nursing home so the kids were able to play in one room while we visited in the other.

 We went back to the hotel for Sam to take a nap before the shopping began. The girls enjoyed rest time with a movie and popcorn in the other room.

Preschool Spring Program

The girls had their Spring Program at school. They are finally opening up on stage a little :) They sing and do the hand motions, hesitantly. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We thought Sam would lose it on stage since he was sick for the Christmas program and this was his first one. He didn't do anything but wave and say "Daddy", but he didn't cry so we count it as a success!!
