Welcome little Melody Layne Irwin

Dale and Michelle welcomed their first baby on April 20th
When we went to Florida we were able to meet her, she is perfect! They are both great parents, she is one lucky little girl to have them both!!

Graduation day.

Emily Graduated from preschool in May and will start Kindergarten in the fall. She is VERY excited to be going to "big school" with Katelyn and Jacob.

Emily is FIVE !!

Emily and Abby (being puppy)


Giant candles at Grandma's (we didn't have regular ones, notice the new batting gloves)

Party at school (we took in cake, ice cream, balloons and party bags)

At Grandma's

At the new house, after we got home from Florida (ice cream sunday party)


We had a couple celebrations for Emily for her fifth birthday since we were in between homes, so here are the pics.
On her birthday she woke up and said "MOM!!! Look how much I groaned"!!

HOME!

We are finally getting settled into our new home in Georgia. The kids are having a ball meeting new friends and swimming in the neighborhood pool. They have really enjoyed (so have I) having Uncle Brad here with us! He has been helping us get things done around that house.

I will post more pics soon!

Signing off for the move to Georgia!!

*Katelyn, she LOVED NC right away. You can see it in the happy little face!!


*Emily, was just one yr old when we moved to NC.



*Jacob June 2005, in our "new" back yard!



*This is the three kids on the day we moved into our home in North Carolina June 1st 2005!






Our time in North Carolina is almost finished and I must say that we are all getting really excited to head to Georgia. It could be the new house, the pool waiting for us, but I really think we are all just excited to be a Family unit again. We have truly had the best time EVER living in NC though. The Mountains, the beaches, the Friends and Family, its all been amazing. Everyone in our Family has done a lot of growing in the time that we have lived here. so I thought I would post a couple pics to show just how much growing!

I won't be able to blog for a while (almost a month) as we are going to be staying with Mom for a while and she does not have a computer. I tease that it will kinda be like detoxing from facebook and gossip websites!! :)
Will be back on as soon as I can!
