Special Days

By -
SG loves to be with her grandmothers!  She was thrilled to have them with us last weekend and would prefer if all of her grandparents would move in with us!  Although I don't think it is feasible for us to all live together, I do think children were meant to have all of their family close by.  We have to enjoy the times when we are all able to visit.
SG stayed home from school that Friday so that she could have some special time to be with everyone. They had an adventure shopping and meeting Daddy for lunch.  After her nap, she went on an adventure with Grancy and Gramma to find some more kids' tattoos!  It was quite an adventure as the GPS kept taking them in the wrong direction and SG pointed out all the stores we frequent to them!  She tried to direct them as best she could by telling them to go right on Atlanta Road!

SG was so excited to sit down and do "art" with Mamma.  Mamma was excited that SG talked to her and called her Mamma like she had been seeing her pretty often.




We always say that SG looks like Aaron, but in this picture you can see just how much she looks like Mamma, two pretty ladies.


The two best co-grandmothers with my two favorite babies!


We love Gramma.  She spent special time helping SG paint and "hiding" the fork with her!  When Gramma referred to herself as a nut, SG said she was "nutty like Lovie!"  We now refer to her as Nutty Gramma in the most affectionate way possible1

SG loves her Grancy.  She had a great time being silly and performing for Grancy.  She is also in LovE with the Hello Kitty shirt that Grancy brought her and thinks of Grancy every day when she gets on her step stool that Grancy made her.  


We had a wonderful visit with them and mostly stayed close to home and let the kids just enjoy having these special ladies with us for a few days.  I think we all enjoyed it quite a bit.

Check-Up

By -
Since Sarah Grves did not listen to our request and come over the weekend, we had our scheduled check-up this morning.  All looks good.  My blood pressure and measurements continue to be fine.  We heard her heartbeat and it always makes me smile to hear that sweet sound.  We also talked about my growing anxiety about not going into labor on my own.  Anjili is very reassuring that 90% of women do go into labor by 42 weeks and we have every reason to believe that I will too.  We also talked a bit about how even if we do have to use pitocin to induce labor it doesn't have to be as bad as I feared.  She said that she will try to make it possible to be able to move around even though you are hooked up to the monitor and the IV.  Hopefully, we will go into labor on our own! One of the things that she cautioned us about is that even though family and friends are well meaning and excited to meet the new baby, the constant focus on whether labor has begu...

 We had a great start to summer! Downtime at the lake with family was perfect after the busy rush at the end of school! We spent time with Aunt Brenda, Nikki, Andrea, Bobby, Fisher, Brennan, Kade, Aunt Linda, and Maw Maw.  Time by the fire pit laughing and telling stories. No idea why I don't have pictures of Charlie or Aaron, but they were there! Time for a boat ride! In May the water is still cool but feels good after you get used to it! Good to have some time to bob! The much anticipated karaoke night! Nikki and Aunt Linda had us rolling as they performed their first number with instruments! Bobby joined in and Livy was his backup singer! Pops with the house band! My favorite karaoke stars! We even got Aaron up to sing!  We laughed so hard, cheered for each other, sang our hearts out, and had a wonderful time! Steak! And a lot of it! Yum! Charcuterie lunch! Everyone loves dips and snacks Kade surprised Brennan and proposed at Cheaha! I was in on the surprise so that th...

Mystery Tour

 Every six years there is a choir tour referred to as Mystery Tour since the kids (and parents) have no idea where they are going! We dropped her off super early and stalked facebook for clues about where she might be going!  As Ms. Kim gave her talk before they left, parents listened in and I love how she explained that they are representing not only our church, but Jesus in the world and need to behave that way.  Lovie was tracking her watch and could see them heading to Florida, Ft. Lauderdale to be exact! Yes, they spent a day at Universal Studios! There were stops in Charleston and Savannah They also went to Virginia Beach Stop at an alpaca farm! In addition to singing, Sis played the flute in the ensemble.  We thoroughly enjoyed their homecoming concert too!
