East Limestone Meets Lily Grace

Hey Everybody,

Sorry I was not able to blog last night. I had my best friend Kaitlyn over. We had lots of fun with Lily Grace last night. This week, I was going to football practice and Mrs. Susie Whitt, the East Limestone photographer, took me and Lily Grace's picture to put in the football program for this year. This year, our football team for the first time is playing a city school. Uh oh, that's my Dad's school. Oh well, he can deal with it if we beat them. Just kidding. I know many people that go to Athens also.

East Limestone football's newest star Cheerleader and player!

This week, also my other big sisters, Emily and Amanda, and Will came over and visited with mom and Lily Grace while I was at school. Mom said that they were all doing group hugs! They had lots of fun.

Friday night and Saturday night were so much fun. Me and Kaitlyn and Lily Grace went to the mall. She did really well, even though despite the fact that there were many people there.

Saurday Afternoon, Kaitlyn came over and brought her Video Camera, and we made a movie. It was so fun.we ran throgh the sprinklers with her andhad teapartys.

That night we made a Chinese Breakfast Aniversary Dinner for Mom and Dad since there aniversary is coming up soon.They really enjoyed it. We made: pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fruit salad.

That night after dinner we took Lily out for a walk, and rode by some of my friends' houses, Lindsay, and Morgan. They really seemed to like Lily Grace.

Kaitlyn has been like a great big sister to me and now Lily Grace. It is so fun playing with both of them. Last night, Lily wouldn't dare come out of her hands. Well, it looks like me and her will be babysitting this summer. That will be fun.

Lily Grace went to church today again. She did really well. Mom tried to leave her in the nursery to see how she would do. But that did not last long. After that, we came home and I tried to mow the grass, but guess what happens 10 minutes later? It rains cats and dogs! I got totally soaked. It was like having an outside shower.

Tonight I played volleyball and basketball with my friends at church, while Lily Grace enjoyed doing gymnastics and chasing balloons with all the girls. tonight when we went to the Gas station it was like a whole heard of animals attacked us so many people were so excited yo see My Little Sis. We ended up seeing morgan again and one of my other best friend's Bri.she really seemed to like her and later when her sister called her mom, we had to wait there so she could se her, but that's ok.Well, that's all for now.

Love You All and God Bless,

Austin

First Week at Home

Hey Everybody,

It feels so great to be home. School has gone really well for me. And all my new teachers seem to be loving the pictures I'm showing them of Lily Grace. Tuesday night, Lily experienced her first outing at Dad's ELAA meeting. She did really well. Then, Wednesday night, she finally met her new church family at family night, where she soon began eating Brother Eddie's cherry pie haha. Friday, I went to football practice and then Lily met up with me after the practice where I introduced her to all my friends and coaches on the team. I'm looking forward to beating Athens September 2nd. That game will surely be fun for both me and Lily I hope.


I Love My Big Brother

Tonight, we went to Ruby Tuesdays and celebrated having Lily home a week. Boy, she loves those chicken fingers. And tonight we found out she loves cracker too. After eating at Ruby Tuesdays, we went to Toys Are Us. Mom got Lily a couple of toys and I got me another video game. Lily has been doing really well. And fortunately, we have all gotten good enough sleep -NOT. Dad has gotten sick from the temperature change. But I don't want to bum out this post anymore than just a couple of words. Just to let you know, I will now be posting every Saturday night along with Mom and Dad.


I Love My Little Sis













Well that's all for now. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

That's all for now.
Love you all and God Bless,
Austin

Sweet Home Alabama!

Hey Everybody,

We are finally Home in the good old U.S.A ! I am so glad we are finally here. Lily Grace seems to
love her new room and loves all the great toys we have got her. She seems to like animals when there not so close to her. She loves all the balloons hanging on the stairs, so does Little Cav our Cat,haha.

Friday I went back to school and everybody wanted to know about my new sister. But as soon as I got home I slept from 4:00 to 8:00 the next morning. Last night I fell asleep from 2:00 in the afternoon till 4:00 this morning. Lily Grace has been adjusting really well and seems to like her new home very well. Today me and Dad are going back to Church, but mom and Lily Grace are staying back at the house. Then when me and Dad get back we have to go pick up more school supplies. Well thats all for now, I will post Lily Grace's pictures at her new home as soon as I can.

Love You All,
GOD Bless,
