Dodaddy and the Wagon Train 2011

For the past two years, my Dad, aka Do Daddy, has ridden in the Alabama wagon train. They start their ride in north Alabama and ride to Montgomery. This ride takes a week to complete. Lucky us they come to Wetumpka and stop for lunch. So we make the trip, in car of course, to meet up with Do Daddy and all the other riders for a short visit. Mary Margo thinks the world of her DoDaddy and the fact that he rides horses makes him even cooler.

This year she got a special treat. As Do Daddy rode by he stopped and picked her up and let her ride with him for a little bit. She was beside herself with excitement. By next year, she will have her own horse and ride along side Do Daddy. Just kidding, but I am sure that her and Do Daddy would love that.

Waiting for the wagon train at the trailer. It was FREEZING!

Pretty sure this is where we will be sleeping next time we visit Nana and Do Daddy. In the horse trailer. What a GREAT time sharing the day with Nana and Do Daddy.

Big Sister and Baby Hall

Before I was pregnant, I never was a fan of these Maternity Pictures. I just really didn't (and still don't) understand why you want pictures of your naked belly.

Well, my mind was changed, of course with the help of this precious little girl that is about to be a big sister and no longer my baby. (She will ALWAYS be MY BABY) But to her she is becoming the "Big Sister" and gets very offended when we call her a baby.

She is so sweet and gentle giving the baby kisses and hugs when she gets up in the morning and every night before she goes to bed. She sings to my belly on occasion and tells us everything she is going to teach the baby when it gets here.

Mary Margo is very excited about this new venture in her little world. She is going to be a GREAT big sister. And even though I get a little sad when I think about her not being my baby any more, I am very excited as well to watch her and the baby grow to be the best of friends.

As for the pictures, I had a good friend come over and take them. I just had to capture the sweet moment. Will they be framed on the walls, NO! Just tucked away in the baby books as precious memories of my baby girl blossoming into a big sister.

Daddy is so much fun!
