My baby is THREE!

I can't believe my babygirl Neilie is three years old. She was born at 5:41 pm on a Monday afternoon. I went to school that morning and told my principal that I wasn't feeling well but today was my due date so I was sure that I could not possibly be in labor. :)
Of course, I was in labor! I called my friend Rhonda Coffey who came to the school and confirmed that I was in labor... we went to the hospital and after many hours... I had my Neilie Carolina Chappell. This is a picture of Neilie and mommy leaving the hospital.



Here are a few more of my newborn baby Neilie!

This was Neilie's party at Chick-fil-a. It was actually on her birthday! She was so excited to be there and for her friends to come.

This is Ella Grace both Neilie and Claire were excited when the Skippers came.

Here is my Claire Thomas. She is never quite sure of herself around people and loud noise... but I think she had a good time.

Here are Kayla and Luke Chappell. These are Neilie and Claire's cousins. They hadn't seen each other in so long. They were so happy to get to play together.

My baby girl blowing out the candles. I can't believe she is three years old. She is getting to be such a big girl. Thanks to all who came!!!

I made it!!!!

This is Neil with big news. To all of my closest friends you already know about my promotion. To all of our other friends her is what happened: About 6 months ago i applied to the Sheriffs Office traffic unit. I was passed over at that time. Well recently I was approached about the same job again. This time I was accepted. I just want to make it known that without the support of my beautiful wife, family and friends I would not have been able to take the job. My new postion is in the Traffic Enforcement Unit of the Sheriffs Office. I will be investigating collison and DUI enforcement along with other traffic related enforcement. Thanks so much to all of you who believed in me.

Michael Buble Concert October 04, 2008

As you all know, a few weeks ago, Neil and I went to the Michael Buble concert. He surprised me with a limo and dinner at Soby's in Greenville.

This is a picture of us in the limo. We set the timer on the camera and set it up on egde of the bar in the car, and hoped for the best.

It worked!!!


This is a picture of the screen from before it started.
He was GREAT!


" Birds flying high, you know how I feel. Sun in the sky, you know how I feel. Breeze driftin' on by, you know how I feel. Its a new day! Its a new dawn! Its a new life for me...... and I'm feeling good!"



The next 2 pictures were taken when he was singing with a group...Naturally 7. They had no instruments... but sounded like it!!! They were unbelieveable! Together with Michael Buble... and unbeatable combination!


We really had a terrific time.
Thanks to my parents for watching the girls so we could go.
