Beautiful baptism

Last Sunday was a glorious day for our family. Our sweet little girl was baptized and all of her family was there to witness it and show support and love. It was such an amazing day and I am forever grateful for all of our family who came to celebrate this special day with us.

We hosted a brunch for everyone after church. It was a bit wild with 30 adults and 15 kids...but such a sweet day that I didn't mind!

And you'll have to forgive me, my pictures are out of order, of course.

Beautiful cake that my SIL made. It was seriously so yummy and was gone within minutes.

Food table and some beautiful flowers my second mama made. We served shrimp and grits casserole, blueberry casserole breakfast casserole, chicken salad croissants fruit and biscuits. It was all so delicious and I owe it all to my amazing mom, mother in law, and second mama Harriett. I couldn't have done it all without them.

My dad brought my grandparenst dining room table over for the brunch. It has been up at his office and I haven't had anything in my dining room...so it worked out perfectly. We are going to keep it for a while, until we can afford a new one! I love it for sentimental reasons...but it's just not my style. Don't think I could keep it forever. I love this about it though...each chair and the table is labeled with their name, address and the year it was purchased...1955. I think my Nannie was a labeling nut because she grew up in the Great Depression and knew it was like to have NOTHING.

I don't think little C is looking at the camera in any of the pictures. Oh well:)

My sweet grandfather couldn't make it because he was sick, but my step-grandmother was there to represent them. Love little C's hands here! She's excited!

My little family, feeling so incredibly blessed on this special day.

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand. I can’t believe it. The past five years have gone by at lightning speed! You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts. Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day. Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same. You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer. It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
