Eating Utensils

This morning I decided to see what Daphney would do with a fork. To my surprise she handled the new challenge quite well. Using both left and right hands she was able to eat her entire breakfast with the fork!

Who Dat

Daphney and I partied for the Super Bowl with sweet Lillie and her parents. Here she is pre-game in her Saints gear!

Rainy Day

Well, it's a rainy day here in Jackson so no better time to post some new pics! Daphney gets more personality with each passing day! I am relishing every moment of this sweet little girls life!

Daphney continues to LOVE reading, a passion that definitely doesn't come from her mother. But I am so happy she loves it! Also, she has figured out how to throw fits. When I put her down for naps and at bedtime she lets it rip. From downstairs I can hear screams and an occasional kick on the wall! Hopefully this drama will pass. Here are some pics of her playing 'ballerina' and a few in her Valentines Day outfit, specially for daddy! Thanks Kendy for the inspiration! Until next time!!

Charleston

Donald and I were able to get away for 5 days to Charleston, SC.... without Daphney! We stayed at the Charleston Place, club level.... so luxurious! We mostly just relaxed and enjoyed some of Charleston's finest cuisine. The rest was much needed. Other than sleeping and eating we did do some shopping on King and site seeing. I loved being able to have Donald all to myself.... until next time!

New Years and Lemsky Christmas!

Christmas round two happened yesterday for my side of the family. My mom, grandmother, Jonathan, and Ashley came to Jackson. Jonathan brought fire works, but the fun didn't last long. Daphney, who I thought I had primed to be fearless and tough, was so terrified. Fun while it lasted though. We had a yummy dinner and then opened presents. Love spending time with sweet family!

Christmas morning and a surprise visit to Jasper!

Daphney and I kicked off Christmas morning with just the two of us. Poor Donald was post call and arrived home late Christmas morning. As soon as I finished preparing Christmas lunch, (yes a whole turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, apple pie ect. just for two!) we opened presents. It was so special to have time with just the three of us. I look forward to many more years of making and enjoying holiday traditions that are just are own.

After all the fun I packed everyone up and set out for Jasper. All of Donald's siblings and their children were at his parents house, which never happens. It was dinner time and everyone was in the kitchen when we walked in the door. Such a surprise. Christmas was truly a special time for our family this year!
