Feather Falls Trip 3/20/10

We took a road trip to visit Feather Falls, the 6th largest waterfall in the US. It was quite impressive and a nice 9 mile hike. Annabelle did great in the backpack and on the drive.

6 months old & sitting up

Annabelle has learned to sit up! She can balance herself surprisingly well.

Grandma Honey Visits

Thank you for coming to visit Grandma Honey!!! We all enjoyed your stay and hope you come back soon.

I'm starting to grow some blonde hair, much lighter than the hair I was born with. You can see it here.

Annabelle is cracking up with Papou.

Christmas Eve

It is hard to take a decent photo with a baby and a dog! Well, we had a nice Christmas with our new expanded family and my parents were here to visit this year.

Second Cousins meet

Annabelle (left) and her second cousin, Piper, meet in Baton Rouge over the holiday. Piper was born on 8/1, so they are only a month apart.

Great Granny Cecil's house

We stopped off at Great Granny Cecil's house for a visit. We helped her shell some peanuts and enjoyed some freshly roasted Mississippi pecans.

Our first trip

Heading off to Mississippi to visit Lance's family for Thanksgiving. We packed so light - no checked bags! Annabelle was perfect on the planes, slept like a baby.

Annabelle and Madelyn

Madelyn is Erica and Dylan's baby, born 1 month before Annabelle on 7/27/09. They get to hang out a lot, although they don't know it yet.

Halloween

Annabelle is a spider and I am the web! Not sure she got much out of Halloween this year, she pretty much slept through the whole night. But she was a cute spider

Bathing Beauty

Loving bath time!

Great-Granny Cecil & Annabelle

Annabelle is Granny Cecil's first great-grandchild, and they share the same birthday! August 29.

4 Generations of Thorntons

We had a great visit with Lance's family this past weekend. Here are Lance's grandmother (Cecil) , father (Tom) and daughter. Lance's stepmother (Martha) and stepbrother (Guy) were also here to visit. It was wonderful to see them and let them meet Annabelle! We will be looking forward to seeing them again at Thanksgiving time in Mississippi.
