Aunt Maxie Visits!!!!

Poor little Maya. She hasn't been napping at home lately and just gets tuckered out. The potty is a very popular spot for a quick cat nap.


Can't see this really at all from this pic but both girls are hugging tightly along with their little dinosaur friend.

Aunt Maxie came for the weekend to interview at Palmetto Health for a medical residency. She is graduating from medical school in a couple of months and will soon be Dr. Darke!!! She is going into radiology and has six more years to go. Ugh....South Carolina was on her list because it is close to her boyfriend Ryan's family in Charleston and of course here with us! Her top choices are University of Chicago and Columbia University in NY but she interviewed at about 18 places! I know they would all love to have her but I would love to have her close!

Maya loved snuggle time with her Aunt Maxie.


Just some cute Tyson pics.



Delaney and Maxie played a little Mario Kart together.


Took these pics when we all headed out to dinner. This looks like Maya in a horror movie.







Heading out to walk to lunch.


Little pissy pants with her pizza on the way home from lunch.

Playing a little UNO with Aunt Maxie. Delaney is the UNO Master.


More Aunt Maxie snuggle time.







Last pics before Aunt Maxie headed off for her big interview!




These are all just random pics I had on my phone. I visited Delaney's dance class again. Delaney is so good and well-behaved in class compared to a lot of the other girls. It was a little bit chaotic but the teacher is great and Delaney was doing wonderful.

A random gorgeous day in  January when we could wear tank tops and go to the park.






Playing a little tennis.

Delaney practicing her tennis before we signed her up for lessons. She started the next week and is doing awesome! Her teacher is really impressed that she is able to hit it over the net consecutive times. Delaney's backhand is quite strong because she loves swinging the racket with both arms.

We took Aunt Maxie while she was here to the USC basketball game against Arkansas. It was great and we won!


Delaney's first basketball game.


HUGE thrill of going to basketball game was getting pic taken with the Gamecock girls dance team. Delaney now has a new ambition.

Another huge thrill of first basketball game was trying Dippin Dots for the first time!

Two Videos

Just my two little ones playing together. Delaney can do quite an incredible horse imitation and Maya loves wearing any crown. Love Delaney attacking Maya at the end.

Maya LOVES to sing "Tomorrow" from Annie and will sing it very loudly wherever we are....over and over again. She also does a little Wizard of Oz at the end. Truly hilarious.

Mia, Maya


Okay---more with Mia. Feeling very lovey towards my baby. Just lots of pics of me loving on my "first born". :)




















A little daddy TV time. These two love sitting with their daddy.



Just capturing the many faces of my little boo. She just really cracks me up.







This smile just gets me every time. Love love love.


Maya has not been napping as much so she gets a little tired. She said she wanted to lie down so she just curled up in her little chair and rested for a while.
