He's off. 14 months and finally walking! It was all I could do to keep up with him when he was crawling... it's going to take some serious energy to keep up now! This boy is 100% full force, non-stop, all the time. So far he's had a black eye, busted lip, broken tooth, and multiple bruises and scrapes from falls and being hit in the head with swings, toys, etc... Most of the time he just picks up and keeps right on going! It takes me, Annely Blake, and Will to corral him during the day and keep up with what he's getting into. I've got them trained to keep bathroom doors shut and things picked up, otherwise we'd find him splashing in toilets, eating tissue from trash cans, tipping over the dog bowl, ripping up the kids book and toy, and on, and on, and on,....... I'm not kidding, he's NON-STOP!!!!! He's so cute though, it's hard to stay mad :) Other than chasing him all around the house, we've also been in a battle to keep him well. Asthma, chronic ear infections and the possibility of tubes in the near future. He's a great sleeper, which is pretty much the only reason I have any time for the other two kids! Enjoy some pictures of Henry on the move........

Hello, Blog
what happens when you only update your blog once a month??? you end up with tons and tons of pictures......, like these. that have to be posted. because the grandparents are screaming :) without further ado....
our new dog, Flora. yes, this is our third dog. third times a charm, right? she's pretty awesome, though. she doesn't bite, chew, bark, or jump. most of the time I don't even know she's there. my kind of dog. we took her in from a friend who found her wandering. she's cost us lots of money and we've only had her a few weeks. but the kids love her. no, take that back, they are obsessed with her. especially Annely Blake. so that makes her worth it.

Saying Goodbye to 2009
2009 will go down in the record books for our family. Lots of change and lots going on. I'm hoping 2010 brings a little rest and reflection for us as we sit back and settle into life where it is right now. I'll leave you with the last pictures taken from '09: our Christmas celebrations both here and in Athens with my family. Happy New Year!!!!

Summer Re-Cap
(if you are still reading this blog, I applaud you. I considered kicking it to the curb but there are a few *ahem* family members who would join together and all but dis-own me if I did that. so in order to stay on their good side I'll keep it going. I'm not making any promises for the future, though.)
My sister got married in August. We spent two days in Athens without our kids and it was glorious.
We took a last minute trip to the beach. The weather was perfect and we practically had the beach to ourselves as most kids were back in school.

Football season started. Like any good southern girl, I must dress my children in the colors of my team and make them pose in ridiculously humid conditions with the sun shining directly in their eyes. This picture is the result of that obligation to team.
Lastly, here is Henry at 8 months. He is getting so big I really must update on him more often. I know I am biased toward all my children being pretty cute, but oh. my. goodness. I could eat this little face up. He really is the cutest Maxey by far. I hope my other children don't hate me for saying that one day.

A: Who knows?? We've got a lot of major decisions coming up and are in the middle of a particularly stressful period right now. More on that later. Just pray for us.
