FYI

We are alive and well and are now living in Cincinnati. As soon as I get the pictures from my camera to the computer and have a few extra minutes to spare, I will post. I promise!!

I'm Still Alive!

Benny and Aubrey. Aubrey really did like Benny, but here she was exhausted after a very long day!

here's a shot of the whole group that was there.

the spread of food was amazing.

the cake was sooooo good!

I know it's been a while since I have posted anything, but there is good reason. I don't have internet access at home and am currently without my computer, so it's a bit more complicated trying to update.

Here are some pictures from the surprise going away party that our young people in Cayman planned for us. It was such an awesome time and we were so honored that they did this all on their own.

Sorry that everything is backwards. If it bothered you that much then read up again. =)

A Fun Evening

This restaurant happens to be one of our favorites here in Cayman. They have a deal on Tuesdays where you can buy a pizza and get one free. So, we usually get a meat lovers and a veggie on wheat. The pizzas are baked in a brick oven and taste awesome. We always have to get their spinach & artichoke dip served with pita wedges. Absolutely amazing. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

Another cool thing about this place - we went there the night before Aubrey was born. My parents were down and they really enjoyed it too. Our waitress asked when I was having the baby and when I told her "tomorrow" she was quite surprised! She has been our waitress several times since then and always enjoys talking to Aubrey.

enjoying spending time with grandma. they really seem to be communicating here!

Aubrey first started "winking" a couple of Sundays ago. She did it over and over again that night but then wouldn't do it so much later. Well, she's back at it again and when you say "wink" - this is what you get!

After we ate supper we headed downtown to Dairy Queen which is right across the street from the ocean. Their parking is on ocean side as well. So, we headed back across the street with our ice cream and enjoyed watching the sun set. Adam decided to hop the wall and take Aubrey for a little closer look at the Sea. She LOVED watching the water and having daddy put her feet it. The water would wash up over her feet and she'd just squeal! I don't think I got any pictures of that, but I got plenty of video. It was too cute how she kept screaming because she was SOOO excited! Adam said that every muscle in her body was tense! As you can tell by the picture she was still pretty hyped about it all!

So. That was my Tuesday evening!

Blessings

A lady in our church here came to me several weeks ago and told me that she had some dresses for Aubrey. They were her granddaughters and she'd outgrown them. I was very anxious to get the dresses as she was growing quickly and I was running out of church dresses that fit her. To my delight, they were size 18 months (that's what Aubrey is in right now) and there were about 5-6 beautiful dresses. She just told me last Sunday that she has a couple of more things for me, so... =)

These were taken Sunday morning before church.

Update

She figured out how to climb under her exersaucer. She seemed to like hanging out under there!

Aubrey's smile cracks me up in this picture...she's in to this fake wide grin. So cute!

from soup to sleep

Last night, Aubrey had some real soup for the first time. 7-can soup made with only 6 cans - so good! She's never gotten very sleepy while eating before last night, but the soup zonked her. I grabbed the camera and caught the last couple minutes of it.

Youtube is being quirky and I'm not able to embed the video, but here's the link.

Aubrey...who else? =)

Last night Aubrey decided it was a cool thing to pull herself up in her crib. She kept doing it over and over again. Of course, we snapped some pics....

High-five for daddy!
Last week sometime I took pictures of the group going to International Student Covention. Monique shared her bow-tie with Aubrey.

Hangin' out at Camana Bay

Playing in the fountain with Amy. She loved it! Aubrey, that is...but I think Amy enjoyed it too...it was REALLY hot.

Ok Mom, enough pictures already.

My First Mother's Day...

These are the beautiful roses that "Aubrey got for me!" Daddy takes no credit. =) I'm so proud to be her mommy...she's a great kid!

Love you, Aubs!

We are moving next month to the mighty metropolis of Cincinnati, Ohio. Farewell to the reggae, hello to hiphop on the hilltop. I'll be working in Student Recruitment at GBS with my good friend and former roommate, Timmy Makcen. So, if you have been procrastinating with that trip to the Caribbean, you might want to hurry it up. We leave June 15.

Happy Mother's Day!!

Today I celebrate the awesome mother that God has allowed me to have. She has taught me so many valuable lessons throughout my life. Anytime I have needed anything or had questions, she has been there for me. I thank God for who she is to me.

Mom, I'm many miles from you today, but I hold you close in my heart. I love you.

**I also want to say, "Happy Mother's Day" to some other very special moms in my life - my MIL, Becky Profitt; my sister, Stephanie Burley; my grandmas, Yount and Nichols and my sisters-in-law, Megan Nichols and Lisa Profitt. Love you all, too!!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Stephanie and Grandma. We love you both!
