      <![CDATA[So my mom, at the young age of 52, plays tennis...a lot of tennis. Her team went to regionals last month in Mobile, AL and won! The sectional tournament was here in town. They made it all the way to the finals and barely lost. They all played awesome and it was exciting to watch! Emma dressed accordingly and enjoyed playing outside at the tennis courts.

      <![CDATA[The best investment this summer has been our zoo membership. Abbey loves going and has memorized the location of all her favorite animals. They also have a small water park during the summer. Both girls had a blast playing in the water. Abbey has a thing for sitting on the water fountains as they shoot up. Seems uncomfortable to me! Emma has not quite figured out that you have to move your face out of the water to be able to breathe but she had fun waiting for the water to pop up in different spots around her.

      <![CDATA[For the holiday weekend we spent the morning with Nana and the afternoon with some out of town friends. Nana got the girls matching outfits, of course, and we went to the park. We then went out to Homewood and let Abbey play on all the inflatable rides/toys. It was so much fun watching her. She is getting so big and independent. She was able to do one of them all by herself! It was a proud moment but also a sad one as I realize how quickly she is growing up. We came back to Helena to watch the fireworks. I didn't know how the girls would take it since Abbey is terrified of the "very noisy vacuum cleaner" these days and Emma has never been around such a thing but they both enjoyed the colorful display.

Sunday we spent all afternoon swimming. Abbey is a little fish! She loves the water and is learning to swim. She can kick her "motor" and is sure to tell you all about it but does not understand the concept of holding her breathe yet. Emma only likes it if it is warm, truly my daughter! She is crawling, pulling up on everything, and attempting to stand alone so I'm sure it won't be long before she is toddling everywhere behind sister.

      <![CDATA[Yesterday (see how quickly I am posting pictures!) we put out the pool and slip-n-slide and grilled some fabulous food! The girls had a blast and the food was yummy, thanks to Clint. Emma was not entirely fond of playing in the pool by her self. She would prefer to sit back and stuff her face with food (thats <em>my</em> girl!). Abbey loves the slip-n-slide. No matter where the slip-n-slide is, she must start all the way back at the fence to run. It is quite humorous to watch. Even funnier to watch her as she runs her little heart out until she gets to the slide and then she gets down on all fours and crawls to the end. She doesn't get the concept of sliding yet. Daddy even went down a few times with her.

      <![CDATA[Abbey turned 2! We had a BBQ theme party at my mom's pool. It was a lot of fun! The cake turned out super cute! It was a watermelon. We served hot dogs, beans, and corn on the cob and placed coolers of real watermelon on the tables. Emma was ecstatic to get her hands on a cob of corn! My mom got Abbey a water and sand play station for our new backyard (oh yes! we moved!) and we got her a motorized tinker bell car. We had a blast!

Emma was not really crawling on all 4's at this point but she always managed to crawl up on to her toys and get stuck. She started solid foods and loved them of course! Abbey's new thing was wearing her easter hat and sunglasses running around saying "I'm a rock star!". Although recently she has gotten confused since we have been talking about ocean animals, including the starfish, and now she runs around saying "I"m a starfish!". What she really means to say is rock star but it is hilarious!

      No, the Neville&apos;s have not fallen off planet earth....although there are days that I wonder....anyways. I am in search of a better way to keep everyone updated with pictures. The programs I have been using are too time consuming which is why there hasn&apos;t been an update in 4 months. I guess I could just write about the girls but they are so stinkin&apos; cute that they deserve pictures posted to really understand what they are into these days. So with that said....I hope to have some pictures up soon and try to stay more on top of this blog (how many times have I said that before?!) 

And by the way....the next newest neville will be here in January!

      <![CDATA[Alabama does not get snow. Mention the word and the whole city shuts down. Of course once in a blue moon there will be the suggestion of snow flurries sometime during our winter but it usually doesn't produce much of anything except chaos at the grocery stores. Well, this time...we got snow! And lots of it! We haven't had snow like this in Alabama since 1993 and I think the snow this time was even better!

It was so much fun watching Abbey play in the snow and listening to her attempts to say snow! She was freezing outside but would not give up any play time to go inside and get warm. She played her little heart out and then crashed quickly for her nap.  Clint and I had a great time building a snow man. Sadly, the snow was gone by the next morning and then the snow man lost his head. Today, the bottom of the snow man still sits in the yard melting more each moment. I'm sure he will be completely gone by the weekend considering we are supposed to have a high of 76 Saturday. Only in the south can you have a 27 degree day with snow and a high of 76 in the same 5 day forecast!

      <![CDATA[This was the first Christmas since Clint and I have been married that we spent at home with family and it was wonderful. We stayed the night at my mom's house and woke up to do "santa" with my brother and Abbey. Abbey adores Luke and was more interested in him and his presents than most of hers. She did get a karaoke Elmo and spent the majority of her morning singing with Elmo. She must be a natural born rock star because without any prompting, she knew what to do with the microphone. Emma quietly slept through all of the gift opening which was a huge blessing as we chased Abbey around with a camera. 

Christmas night we spent at Clint's mom's house with his family. Abbey played with her cousins, Cooper and Bella, and enjoyed following them around like she was a big girl too. 

Emma is doing great! She weighs just over 10 lbs now and changes every day. She sleeps well as long as I hold her all night which I continue to do since that is the way I get the most sleep. She has started smiling which is adorable! Especially since she has a dimple on one side.  She wants to be held all the time so it is since having all the extra hands around to help meet her needs! 

This year has been challenging in so many ways but God has blessed us so much....Just look at our beautiful girls! We are excited to be home with family and are looking forward to the many blessings of 2009! 

Emma's sweet smile!

      <![CDATA[I obviously had unrealistic expectations of Christmas pictures this year. Having a toddler changes everything! I remember last year being able to take a family picture without much hassle since Abbey was 6 months old and smiling but not yet mobile. This year I found my self chasing her around just to get her dressed and then bribing her with anything to get her to sit still. Here are some pictures to show the process of capturing a moment with a newborn and toddler....

"I don't want to hold my sister!"
<img alt="DSCN6155.jpg" src="http://www.thenewestneville.com/DSCN6155.jpg" width="300" height="400" />

"Please don't make my sister hold me!"
<img alt="DSCN6156.jpg" src="http://www.thenewestneville.com/DSCN6156.jpg" width="300" height="225" />

"Here's your paci sister. I'm trying to help!"
<img alt="DSCN6157.jpg" src="http://www.thenewestneville.com/DSCN6157.jpg" width="300" height="400" />

"Okay mom I'm saying 'Cheese!'"
<img alt="DSCN6158.jpg" src="http://www.thenewestneville.com/DSCN6158.jpg" width="300" height="225" />

The results should arrive in your mailbox soon!

We hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Merry Christmas!]]>
