Beautiful Weekend

This past weekend was absolutely beautiful! We spent all of our time outside and loved it! Alley is so much happier when she is outdoors and getting to explore everything. We took LOTS of walks, "smelled" (or tasted...) all the neighbors flowers (I hope we left some behind for everyone else!), and hung out a little at the sporting events out at HSC. We loved it! I hope we have more good weather to come! Here are some pictures from our time outdoors:

Checking the flower out...

Why does she try to eat EVERYTHING?!!! Poor flower...

Caught her in the middle of talking

Only our cat...

....would follow us , like a dog, on our walk around the neighborhood!! This afternoon after Alley got up from her nap, we all went for a walk around the neighborhood...and I guess Reese didn't want to be left out. We were about a block away when I turned around and there she was, waddling along behind us. Occasionally she would stop and look at something (usually a dog or two) and then she would come running after us...meowing all the way. We have a really weird cat...

On another note, here are some pictures from this weekend. Mimi and Papa came up to their cabin on Saturday and we all had dinner out on the back porch. It was fun:) Alley tested out their new rocking chairs and walked every inch of the deck. She also pointed out every bird that flew anywhere near the house while we were eating...I love spring;)

I'm really not sure what she was doing here...I think she was hiding from everyone

We are back from Arkansas and finally settling back into life. I am definitely not ready to go back to work, but I guess I don't have a choice;) Here are some other pictures from our week with Gee'maw.

The first morning we arrived (after driving 12 hours through the night) we met Andy's whole extended family for breakfast. It was wonderful getting to see them all and as you see...Alley put on a show! Alley is trying to help - help what? who knows...Walking with Daddy...two peas in a pod

The Memphis McPherson cousins, Daddy, Alley and Gee'maw

Oh glorious powdered doughnut! Thanks Gee'maw

Gotta love an Easter Bunny who puts goldfish in the eggs! Yeah for the Arkansas Easter Bunny:)

We had a great trip and look forward to seeing everyone again next time! Now it's back to life in Virginia...

Happy Easter

Happy Easter from Arkansas! Here are a couple photos from this weekend.

Here Alley is visiting with Andy's dadThe only Easter dress shot I could get of Alley...go figure!

Here we are before church

Yes...she's sick...rough day for her! I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Little bunny foo-foo...

We couldn't help ourselves...

She's still trying to figure out what she has on her face...

Such a cool rabbit;)
She refused to take her binkie out...I guess she figured if we were going to abuse her like this, then she would at least have her comfort item!

Still wearing the glasses, but now pulling on her "cape"...super bunny???!!!

Thanks to my Aunt in New York (she sent us the glasses) who provided us with an afternoon of laughter and fun!! I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!!

Spring is here!

Yeah for warm weather:)!! Today we got to go out and enjoy this beautiful day at Mimi and Papa's cabin in the woods. They were so kind to let us "help" them clean their deck;) Alley is such a little helper.

Check out her concentration;)

"Are you watching me?!"

Another "dirty" spot has been conquered!

On to bigger and better messes...we need the BIG broom!All in a days work...And here she is trying on the dress Mimi and Papa got her for Easter. It's a little long, but Granny is going to fix it for her. She's so happy about the dress...too cute;)

Escape of the bunny...

Yesterday Granny invited us over to have lunch at her house. My Aunt and Uncle from Atlanta were up, as well as my parents. We can never say no to good company and excellent food:)! When we got there, Granny presented Alley with a set of bunny ears - it was hilarious to watch her reaction when we put them on her and on us. She would just die laughing...I wish I had gotten a video of it! Here are some pictures of our little bunny...

Yeah for having the ears on...

Oh I look so silly and love it!!

hmm, maybe it's someone else's turn to look silly

on second thought...nope...they're mine...let's hide them!

Let's see if those ears re-surface again when we go to Arkansas for Easter;) Watch out Geemaw, they have your name written all over them!!:)
