Happy Birthday, Maw Maw!

By -
We celebrated Maw Maw's birthday with her right after Labor Day and tried to make it a fun day!  We started with a fun breakfast that was yummy, too!  Then we took Maw Maw with us to Music Together.  We went home for naps and then headed to Lovie and Pops' house for a fun dinner and cupcakes!  





SG and Charlie hold hands in the backseat a lot.  SG tells Charlie to hold her hand and he reaches out and take it.  These two are very sweet with one another!

I love how she rides with her feet propped up and I am in love with these cute shoes!




She had so much fun playing with the parachute!




Charlie was quite tickled with the parachute too!

Sarah Graves and I made Maw Maw some lemon buttercream cupcakes.  We used candy pieces to make some of them look like suns!

Our fun dinner consisted of a variety of appetizers!  I think the favorites were chicken tikka samosas and cheese arancini.  

Sarah Graves made Maw Maw a card complete with a picture made out of glitter.

This tunnel at Lovie and Pops' gets a ton of play!  Both kids love it and Pops likes it a lot too!

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!
