Mimi's Visit

Brian's mom came in town last weekend and we had a full weekend! We had so much fun--we ate, slept, shopped, went to the zoo, read books, and just had some relaxing time. Mimi found out quickly that Cole is hard to take pictures of...we had a hard time coming up with very many pictures of her looking at the camera. Thank you for coming all this way Mimi--we had a blast!

CATS VS. CARDS

Well today is the big UofK vs. UofL rivalry game and Cole decided to sport her allegiance for both teams...check her out!

Ready for school...

...I don't think so, but she sure is loving her Elmo backpack. Doesn't she look like such a big girl?!

Singin' in the Rain

Cole absolutely loves being outside, and the only thing she thinks is cooler than being outside is being outside in the rain. She sported her raincoat and boots from the "Other Willifords" and enjoyed stomping in the puddles on our way into a friend's house.

Branam Fam

Cole and I went to visit a couple of our college friends that live in Indianapolis in Champaign a couple of weekends ago. Erica, Nathan, Isaiah, and Grace came to visit. We went to Erica's sister Carly's Xavier soccer game and wow was it hot. The kids kept cool and were great sports that day. It was so good to see you guys. Thanks for the visit!

Curious Cole

Nothing gets past this little girl. A fake apple rolled under this table and Cole was determined to get it out. When she was looking at these pictures with me on the computer, she pointed to the screen and said "apple". I couldn't believe that she remembered that moment! She is quite the curious little girl.

Uncle Chris

Our friend Chris from college came to visit us when we were in Louisville. Cole was quite intrigued by the guitar playing. She was trying to play the guitar with him and then dancing to the music. Thanks for coming to visit us Chris.

Great Grandma and Grandpa

The whole family got to take a quick trip to Louisville last weekend and Cole got to visit with her great grandma and great grandpa.

BIG SISTER

Well, now that you've looked at all of the pictures, we would imagine that you have deduced the reason for this post and that is to say that little miss Cole Brianne will indeed joyfully be a big sister in the spring. She is getting lots of practice with her babies at home. Her little brother or sister will be here around April 16th. What was a complete surprise to us has indeed turned into such a blessing. We couldn't be any happier. Thank you for your continued love and prayer for our growing family.

Visit to the Zoo with Mabry

We went to the zoo a little over a week ago and met Mabry and her family there. The girls had fun, but as you can see from the pictures, Cole was a bit sleepy during this excursion. We were cracking up though at the last picture because she kept imitating everything Chad did including putting her leg up on the rail. She's such a little copy cat!
