Patrick and Julia were sorting through the mail when they saw a familiar face.

Conversation overheard while the girls were in bed.

Madelyn: "Jane"
Jane: "what bitty?"
Madelyn: "what's that noise?"
Jane: "there is no noise bitty."
Madelyn: "Jane?"
Jane: "what bitty?"
Madelyn: "what's that noise?"
Jane: "there is no noise bitty!"

Ms. Lois has a friend that is a dance instructor so she is going to start coming once a week to teach dance.

Jane absolutley loved it. She lit up like a Christmas tree. She was so happy and really really good at dance.

When Patrick is gone Julia tries to be the mom and the dad and this is the result.

It's almost Valentine's Day!!!

The girls are growing up so fast as the McCoys live their busy lives.

Jane was born a little early as this little tiny baby girl. It seemed like she played catch up for awhile. She has really blossomed into this beautiful and intelligent little girl with a wonderful sense of humor. She knows all the letters and is starting to spell/read words like Jane, hat, sat, mat, mom, dad, etc.

Madelyn Louise has become this remarkable toddler doing everything the big girls do. At 18 months she is speaking in full sentences. Things she says often:
"Conner's a bad boy." "What's that noise?" "I want juice!" or "I want milkies." "I put shoes on." or "I put boots on." She has a style all her own and is obsessed with shoes, hats, and bracelets. She never ceases to amaze.

Mamaw came two weekends ago and it was her birthday!!!
