A Trip down Memory Lane...

Can you believe that 2009 is almost over? It has been an amazing year for the Parr Family!!

Take a look at our journey to 2010

This is me 8 months pregnant with Ansley... I look like I swallowed a basketball!!

And 2 weeks later...

on March 5 th a precious baby girl was born-- Ansley Belle Parr!! I believe she is my little piece of heaven on earth ; )

My Nanny and sister flew to Chicago just in time-- Miss Ansley was born 4 days AHEAD of schedule...

Connor Bruce has been THE GREATEST BIG BROTHER!! My little man turned 4 years old in April... This child keeps me on my toes-- he always has something clever to say at just the WRONG time... For instance, one day I had been asking him to clean his room REPEATEDLY (I was getting frustrated and he could tell) I yelled, "Connor get this room clean NOW!" and he replied, "Yes, Mrs. Puff!" I had to turn away so he wouldn't see me laughing...

This summer Connor "got his Kaylee back"... They have such a good time together AND it never takes long for them to pick up right where they left off. These two are soooo much ALIKE-- its crazy!!

Kaylee, Connor, and Ansley together the summer of '09...

This summer was eventful- I traveled to Texas on my own with Connor and Ansley. It really was an amazing experience and I couldn't have asked for two better kids... Ansley slept most of the way and Connor either slept or talked to me about the shapes he saw in the clouds. Connor didn't get cranky until we were about 2 hours from Quanah AND he had had enough and wanted to go back to CHICAGO. I couldn't explain to him we were SOOO close to being in Texas at that point BUT when he saw Nanny and Pawpaw's house he was super excited (so was I)!
