Welcome Ann Toland!!















My sweet cousin Kathryn had her little girl yesterday in Memphis! Isn't she a beauty?
Ann Toland Higdon; Born at 8:13 AM on August 26, 2007; 6 pounds, 9 ounces; 19 1/4 inches!!
Kathryn's parents and sister just happened to be visiting them this weekend for Kathryn's birthday! She was about 3 weeks early.. just like Nate!! Actually Kathryn and I had the same due date!! Wish we could be there to welcome her in person! Another August birthday!! WOOHOO!

What a sight!!






Look at this sight!! For those of you who are unaware of Covenant's situation. The church has been struggling for the past year. The church finally voted to leave the PCUSA church and join the EPC church (long story). It has been a little disappointing each week at the number of children who come to church. It kind of dwindled this past year. Well, Sunday was rally day and I am teaching four-year old Sunday School with Elizabeth Mehrle. All the kids made African masks and shakers and they performed in front of the congregation in the fellowship hall. They did sooooo good!! We were all so happy that so many kids were there. It's just good to see!!

Look how cute!!




I wanted to show you the outfits Renee made for both Bekah and Nate's birthdays! Aren't they sooo cute! Go to http://www.babyfacedesign.blogspot.com/ !! She does an awesome job!! WOOHOO!

Happy Birthday Nate!!



























































We celebrated Nate's birthday party at Pizza Inn Friday night!! What a fun time. I can't believe he is one year old!! Look at that Cake! Courtney picked it up for me at Wal-Mart! Do you believe it is cupcakes?? We have called Nate Nater Gator since he was born so it was only appropriate to get him an Aligator cake! Sorry Aunt Ann and Uncle Charlie (huge Florida State fans). Wal-Mart did a great job. Nate had a blast eating that cupcake. It was so much fun! Thanks to everybody for coming. I will say that I really think Pizza Inn is the place to have birthday parties. They were soooo nice and accomodating! And it rained and I didn't even care!! Remember Bekah's party?? Okay and the funniest photo is the one of our family. I don't know what Bekah was doing and poor Trey covered up with a balloon!! HAHA! SO FUNNY!

The things kids say....

On the ride to school this morning - Bekah and I were talking and I asked her what were her favorite things. This is what she said, "Going to restaurants (could that be b/c we have taken her to every restaurant in town since she was 5 weeks old), dancing, dress up clothes, and my barbie computer." But she said her Barbie computer only knows her name if we are in the room.. Wonder why?? So we started spelling her name and I told her who she was named after. And then the questions started. "What is your full name, mommy?" I told her and why my name changed from Bourn to Woodruff when I got married. Then she asked me a question that I was so not expecting her to ask this soon. She asked, "How'd we get in your belly, mommy?" I paused a minute and said, "Well, your daddy and I loved each other so much that God gave us you and Nate - you were a gift from God." She replied, "Well, that is one Special Gift!" I almost had to pull over - I was laughing and I said, "YOU ARE SO RIGHT BEKAH! You and Nate were very special, special gifts from God!!" I thought this conversation was very much blog worthy!!

Happy Birthday KIM, TREY and NATE!!
































Sunday afternoon Mom had us all over to have a combination birthday party for Nate, Kim and Trey. Kim's bday is Aug. 19, Trey B's Bday is Aug. 21 and Nate's bday is Aug. 24. It was a lot of "FUN!" We had a great dinner and cake and ice cream. I can't believe Nate will be one year old on Friday! That is just unbelievable to me. He got some clothes and some toys. He was very excited. He wasn't as excited about the cake though. He got some in his eyes and that didn't feel too good to him. And he really liked the box that the gift we gave him came in - hmmmm imagine that! The girls liked all the gifts too. Anyway at the request of one certain friend of mine b/c she has made me feel so guilty for not having a birthday party for Nate. Her name begins with an R - we will have a very small, small informal get together Friday night at Pizza Inn in Madison at 5:30 pm. I MAY get a cake from Brookshire's Courtney.. maybe! HAHA!!!
