All Things Southern…

Oct 30th, 2008 by mary

I’ve decided to devote this post to ‘All Things Southern!’  We ate at the Courtyard Cafe today.  It’s my absolute favorite southern cookin’ hometown place!  I don’t even have words for the next picture:

YUUUUUUUM!

Notice the super sweet tea, peach cobbler, fried green tomato, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, green beans, and yeast roll.  Oh [...]

We have had a very busy weekend!  We cheered on the Tide to a victory against Tennessee, went to chuch and introduced John Michael to lots of new people, visited with Aunt Janna, and also introduced him to great-Aunt Sandra.

Roll Tide!

 
John Michael is learning to sit up all on his own!  He has almost mastered [...]

A few professional pics…

Oct 26th, 2008 by mary

I have yet to upload our professional pictures that we had taken in September.  I was so excited about how they turned out.  We took mom for her birthday and got her picture taken with John Michael and they turned out so cute!  Myra Wike did a wonderful job.  John Michael was in a great [...]

Today John Michael met his great-grandmother, otherwise known as Mamaw.  She was so excited to see him and she could not believe how big he was!  She thinks that JM looks so much like Dad did when he was a baby.  John Michael has brought such a unique, fun, new dynamic to our family. He has [...]

Hallelujah!

Praise the Lord!  John Michael slept until 3am this morning!  That’s over 6 hours of sleep in a row!  That has not happened in weeks!  He has still been a little fussy and sleepy today, though.  I think that he is still catching up on his sleep. We did not have too much planned for today.  It’s been [...]

Back Home

Oct 22nd, 2008 by mary

We have been so busy visiting with friends and family!  John Michael has really been enjoying going new places and seeing new sights.  My mother-in-law, Jane, and I went to the mall yesterday and JM was a perfect angel.  He had the best time and was a wonderful shopper.  We ran into a few people that [...]

New Places, New Faces

Oct 19th, 2008 by mary

Well, we’ve made it back to Alabama!  This has been John Michael’s first BIG car trip; all 15 hours of it.  We left around 4 am and as we got into our car, the car wouldn’t start.  Nothing.  You’d have to know our family luck with cars and trips to understand why this did not [...]

Oh No I Didn’t!

Oct 16th, 2008 by mary

Oh YES I DID!!!  I so did put John Michael into his pumpkin zip up suit to go for a morning walk.  It was crisp and breezy this morning and I knew that he needed to be warm, so I just put it on over his footed sleeper.  He looked awfully cute in his little [...]

We finally did it….we broke down and bought the big ole Britax car seat. Our big little guy is just way too small for the Graco seat. He’s always hated it anyway, so I’m kind of glad to be able to get him into this big, comfy (but safe) seat. It will be interesting to [...]

Easy Going Monday

Oct 13th, 2008 by mary

We didn’t do too much today.  Guess who didn’t want to take a nap all morning?  One guess!  I eventually gave up and put him in his swing!

 
Later in the day we went to a local walking trail and just took a leisurely walk.  Best of all, we brought Jackson with us.  I feel badly [...]
