So, your baby can read???

Well, my baby can WALK!!!

That's right, thanks to my friend Lori and Libby's deep love of Goldfish crackers; Libby has been upgraded from baby to toddler. It's exciting because she's spending more time off the floor, but sad too because I am scrapbooking her first few months and I don't even remember that tiny baby. We love her so much!! People still stop me in stores and ask, "is she always that happy?" the answer is YES! If you don't know Lib, you should. She's amazing. I thank God every day for that precious little baby toddler.

• IT WORKED!! Let the fun begin!!!
  

BTW – did anyone else realize that Ms Becky Higgins quit CK???

She is the only reason I really got that magazine in the first place. Time to get re inspired to scrapbook.

Libby's birthday is in less than a month and I have done through month two. Bad mommy!!

Times, they are a changin'…

 

I am testing

this out so I can learn

to do fun stuff with my blog like I see everyone else doing. I am such a follower!

September 9th - no room at the inn

Growing up, I was not a fan of Christmas. The strange scary man in the red suit - coming IN TO MY HOUSE in the middle of the night - maybe still there when I was drug out of bed woke up in the morning - NO THANK YOU! Last Christmas I really started to enjoy the holiday more because we were able to focus more on Christ, especially when Abby was playing with her nativity or dressing up and pretending to be Mary.

The other day, Abby started talking about either Jesus, the Nativity, or Christmas (what? doesn't this kind of conversation happen regularly at your house??). I mentioned something about how last year she loved to play with her nativity that her grandparents got for her...and so began the constant begging for me to get it out so she could play with it again. Immediately I started coming up with reasons why she couldn't have it, but then I thought "shouldn't we be teaching her about Jesus year round?!" so I said she could have it after Halloween (no more mixed up holidays) and Chris said Thanksgiving, but I ended up caving and giving it to her on Wednesday. Here she is playing with 'baby Jesus', Mary, Jesus' sister (snow white) and his brother (Tucker from her doll house).
Notice how, in our house, Snow White *and* My Little Pony like to get involved in the action. We welcome all kinds in our house people! I also love how, as soon as she got home, abby changed into her comfy lounge wear! Not pictured: her princess glass slippers!

OH MY GOSH I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

College Football has officially begun. My Saturdays and TiVo will be very busy till January 8th, 2010 when the last bowl game will have been played and another champion will be crowned - or in this case, given a big trophy - you get the picture.

In High School, I was in the marching band (quit snickering). the good thing about this was that in 4 years and countless games I actually asked enough questions and paid enough attention that when I got to College, I actually understood and really enjoyed the games. Of course when I was at Georgia Southern, they handed out Subway sandwiches @ every touchdown, so attending a game (also in the marching band) had the added benefit to a poor college student of being fed lunch!

lots of sunburns, lots of memories.

Go Big Blue!
Go Jackets!
To Hell with Georgia!
and that's our family motto.
