A Story From Daddy....

Here's a little story for ya,

Earlier tonight, I was in the process of cleaning Mia Katheryn's high chair and she came over and wanted to sit at the dining room table. Then she asked me (in her own special way) to bring her baby, which was lying on the floor just a few feet away, over to her. After that, she tells me that she wants to feed her baby, so I get one of her little plastic bowls and spoon, hand them to her and she places them on the table. Now, I'm expecting her to begin pretending to feed her baby, then offer me a bite of the imaginary food just the way she has done many times before but not this time; instead, she sits back in the chair, places her palms together and looks at me to say the blessing!

Needless to say, I was very proud and that moment also reminded me of how much they are listening and watching!

P.S. She poo-pooed in the "big potty" for the second day in a row....

another summer day...

Well just like the song says "another summer day has come and gone away" that's how I am feeling tonight. Isn't Michael Buble the greatest singer!!! This summer has flown by. Back to school supplies were out today in Target. I felt so sorry for all the kids when I saw them. It is way too hot to start back to school!!!! I can't believe my niece JRL will be starting Public Kindergarten in two weeks. Just the other day she was crying in the hospital that February 5 yrs ago. I miss her sweet face sooooo much. We will see her and baby Jordan in a few weeks though at the beach. We are going camping on the Emerald Coast. My dad has an RV and we are all going for a long weekend. Went walking tonight with a new friend CW a Mississippi girl who has been in C'ville around 10 yrs. She and her husband adore MK so much and MK is pretty fond of them as well. We are counting down the days until the house is ours. We will start packing soon. Ugghhh , but that is all part of it. Well that's all for tonight. Gotta go do some laundry....

Nice weekend...

A great weekend to end a great week.... RLH's brother and sister n- law came over to GA. Mk and all of us had a great time. Showed them the new house, went out to eat and they enjoyed the free entertainment from the one and only MKH. We went to the park on Saturday and I posted a slideshow of some more great summer memories...

Friends Forever

It was a great Bday. GGR and her Cajun crew came over and stayed a week with us. We swam, picnicked, shopped, and played. They went to Stone Mtn. and had a wet adventure at White Water. I already miss her. She has been my best friend for a lifetime it seems; going on 18yrs. Her girls and husband are wonderful. So glad she met JP but no offense just wish he would have been from Miss so we would be closer in miles. But you know what the poets say, distance makes the heart grow fonder. Love ya GGR! I know it is GRL but like saying the other better HA! I have posted a slide show of our week. Enjoy!
Till next time....

Nice visit...

We had a great week! First Gigi came over on Sunday. We went to the park, swam, played and went out to eat. Rlh and I had a Bday date at a great little restaurant towards Atlanta and then Friday (my 33rd Bday) Gina and her family came over. And to top off the week. Gina and I saw Leeann Rimes, Gary Allen, Brooks and Dunn and KENNY CHESNEY in concert last night at Turner Field in Atlanta. WOO HOO!!! It was sooo much fun. It rained but not the whole time. It was the greatest concert I have ever attended.(even better the NKOTB) HA! Just kidding... It made me feel alot younger than 33. Great Bday present. Well our friends are still here so I will post some more later in the week. Enjoy some pics from last week with Gigi.

Fourth of July 2008

Wheewwww!Boy, are we exhausted! We had a jam packed weekend of fun, swimming, parades, concerts, dancing, and fireworks. MK had a blast. She is so not shy; as you will see as you watch some of the video clips I have posted. We celebrated our freedom with friends from church on Friday and watched the C'ville fireworks show that evening. Saturday we went downtown to the Motown "NEON's Concert" where MK danced the night away.... I don't think she realizes she is a Baptist yet. HA! :)
We all had a big time. And to top off the weekend Gigi came a day early and surprised us last night about 7ish. She drove all the way without stopping after church yesterday to see us. Well probably to see her "GIRL" MK. But I like to pretend RLH and I are still imp to some people. HA! Have a great week!

Family time....

We had a great time visiting our relatives from Mississippi that came to Cville this week. Thanks for all the veggies and desserts. I will have to walk an extra mile Thursday. Oh well it will be worth it. I am so glad MK got to spend so much time with her Great Grandparents this summer what an awesome blessing. She also can say Mamaw and Papaw really well. Families are such wonderful gifts from God. It is such a good feeling to know that so many members of my family will one day be in Heaven and then we'll never ever be apart. What a comforting thought....
MK got to eat her first home grown veggies and fruits. Yum, Yum! I have shared a slideshow towards the bottom of page with some of my favorite photos from the week. Enjoy....
