We got to take a trip out to Longview, TX to visit Matt's grandmother. The kids had a great time at Grandmama's house and she enjoyed getting to meet Melia Rose for the first time. Grandmama's name is Virginia Rose Burt and was the inspiration for Melia's middle name! We got to go out to lunch to celebrate Matt's birthday, show Grandmama some pictures of some places from her past using Google Earth, and she even used an iPad for the first time to read some of this blog! What a happenin' 91 year old!
Checking out that new baby!
Exercising with Granna!
Virginia Rose and Melia Rose
Papa and his grand-daughters
The girls
The boysMelia continues to be COMPLETELY loved by her big brother and sister. Here she is feeling the love once again with the beloved puppy and bunny loaned to her by her siblings!
They also took some time to load her up with some toys to keep her entertained!I have slowly been feeling the crafty vibe again. The approaching fall usually does that to me. I feel the need to make some pumpkin decor... but for now, here is my latest creation. The project was copied off a blog I read (of course), but still made me proud nonetheless. Below is an "apple for the teacher!" - gifts my kids took to their preschool teachers to start off the new year!
A fun heart ramekin filled with apple flavored jelly beans, a ribbon leaf and a sour straw stem!
And last but not least, our most recently family photo. And our only posed/studio picture with Melia in our midst. This is the picture that will be seen in our church's photo directory. So those of you at our church are getting a sneak peek at the Dillard Family's rendition of "church directory photo."

Hey your directory picture is great! Ours is not. The photographer made Jackson cry so it didn't go so hot. It was nap time so you can't really blame the guy but he wasn't fabulous with my cranky children to say the least:)
