Amanda

Sorry, I haven't posted lately. Just wanted all of you to go to her blog and listen to her sing Carrie Underwood's new song..."change the world" (i think that's the name). she's amazing! Amanda and Brett from my page.

Sleep

Kade spent the night with Mimi last night. She took off today to play with her grandbaby. This was just the 3rd night he has been away from me, and yes, I still hate it. However, I did sleep so very soundly and woke up at 8:30!!! That is the time I should be entering my office. Woops. I still made it by 9 but wow. It felt great. I still don't get that feeling of "yeah, baby is away" but maybe that hits when you have multiples. I know he had so much fun with his Mimi though and that time is so important. My mamaw and papaw have been so very dear to me. They were married 62 years this past Sunday. Can you even imagine that? Wow. The Lord has been so evident in their lives and our family is who we are today because of their love for one another and their love for their family. Velma Jean and Eugene are a couple that you could write a book about with all their hilarious moments and their unconditional love. I can't wait to sit with them again and eat some of that yummy homemade breakfast Velma J cooks up in the kitchen. That kind of smell that wakes you up in the morning praising the Lord! Papaw has been a little forgetful lately which has really taken its toll of mamaw. He gets mad and blames her for not being able to drive. It's so tough to watch, but at the same time, it's truly precious to see just how much she cares for him. He worries her to death, but she would sit by his side 24/7 if she had to and wait on his every need. Once again, unconditional love. I love you Jean and Gene and I can't wait to get my arms around you both!

My little model

These are a few I took of Kade. I truly do have a gorgeous kiddo. I like to capture those good looks as often as I can. (Am I supposed to be a humble mom?)...nah.

A Happy Spook Day

Halloween weekend was fun filled. Saturday started with a nice workout and then a trip to a Fall Festival which was soooooo crowded. 30 minutes was all we could do there. Kade and I took a lovely 2 1/2 hour nap and then we got ready for our evening. We had a fun night with the cousins. So, Kade was supposed to be Dwight Shroot from the Office, but the weather was a little chilly and my mother forbid it since she doesn't even know who he is. So, the skeleton pajamas it was. I took my self to Target and sqeezed into a child's skeleton costume to twinky it with my little bones sidekick. We took the kids on the hayride in Chad's neighborhood (compliments of the Medlocks) and the kids would hop off and trick or treat. Kade got the hang of it pretty quick. Enjoy the pics!

Long Time, No Blog

Kade and I modeling in the Women's Board Fashion Show



The hospital gown I made for Leslie! Isn't is precious? Isn't she precious?



I'm baaaackkk! I know all of you readers (or maybe 1) have been frantically waiting this post. nah. Well, life has been getting better and better. I don't think it's necessarily the circumstances but I have been diving into some biblically based books and God's word and just trying to surround myself with positive things. I am blessed. Fall is in the air and I couldn't be happier. I just hope it stays. It makes boot camp a little nicer. Kade has started First Baptist preschool and he has some wonderful folks watching him the hours they are not open. He loves his teachers and is bringing home precious art work. I'll have to post some of that when I take a pic. There's really no way to catch up, but I will tell you about this past weekend. We went to see Playhouse Disney Live and the kiddo loves some Mickey Mouse. We came home and carved a Mickey pumpkin and made a halloween "Boo" cake. Sunday was a nice day and I strolled (much further than I thought) to the Greek Festival downtown for some yummy food. I love my weekends. Have I mentioned that before? I think I have shared a love song with you before for my weekends. They simply go to fast. Ga Tech beat the #4 team in the country. Congratulations to my little brother....the best runningback coach in the country. For any Division 1 team interested, please post a comment and you could be the lucky one to get him. West Florida didn't pull through, but we had fun wrapped in our blankets in the stands. Auburn, well, let's just see how they do next week.
Thought for the day: Who thought...let's cut a face or other objects into a pumpkin?

10

Well, last Wednesday I forgot to post my weight loss. What's that...1-0. Oh yea. However, I had a traumatic experience that I am choosing not to write on the internet that has really thrown off my meals. Therefore, I am starting back at the strict nutrisystem plan tomorrow. Everyone neeeds a little time off. Most of you know the story, but if you don't...we are fine. I know that ALL things work together for good for those who love the Lord...I know; however, I am really wanting to rush the "good". I am praying diligently for this, but I do have faith in knowing that God will take care of everything. He does not give us more than we can handle. Sometimes, we just go through trials to bring us closer to our Jesus. How else would He really open our eyes? If everything was perfect all the time, would we ever really feel that we need Him? Think about it. I don't think he intentionally puts us through bad things, but I do think he may "remove his blessings" from us from time to time so that He knows where we go to in times of difficulty. At his feet.
