Food, Family, and a Funeral

Mar 30th, 2009 by mary

FInal farewells bid to a beloved family member

John Michael meeting Uncle John for the first time back in November!

Uncle John was a Fantastic fellow, husband, father, uncle, and Christian man.  Oh yeah, and Crimson Tide Fan!

With Furrowed brows we say our  farwells,
Full-well knowing it’s not the “true” end, as we’ll see each other in the [...]

Guess Who?!

Mar 27th, 2009 by mary

Guess Who?!  It’s me and I’m not dead or in a coma!  I’ve just had NO internet for almost a week and I’m about to go crazy!  I think I have an internet addiction.  Every night Jordan has been reading all of MckMama’s updates on Baby Stellan to me over the phone…I’m that desperate!
The reason [...]

Seriously?

Mar 20th, 2009 by mary

Seriously, this little dog is driving me crazy.  I don’t want to sound mean but I don’t know what’s gotten into this little fluff:

Who knows if it’s Spring Fever, or that his “humping pillow” got left behind in Alabama or the fact that he misses all the attention that he got for THREE whole weeks [...]

Finally!

Mar 17th, 2009 by mary

Better late than never.  After nearly 3 years of being married I finally got my bridal portrait framed.  Yes, finally.  It’s done.  It’s pretty darn big and it didn’t fit on the wall that I thought it would so it now resides above our fireplace.

Can you see John Michael’s electric piano to the left of [...]

Ginger’s Shower!

Mar 16th, 2009 by mary

Last week we had a Sunday School shower for Ginger, who is expecting a baby boy this spring!  Big sister Alex will have to contend with all the camo and blue things that Ginger got for Kade.  We have some very generous people at our church because once again, there were tons of gifts for Ginger [...]

The Clapper

Mar 14th, 2009 by mary

Last Sunday John Michael turned 10 months old!  We were back home with family to celebrate with, so I decided to get a little cookie cake to mark the occasion!  I know I say it every month, but I still just can’t believe that almost a whole year has flown by since JM was born.  [...]

Excavation

Mar 12th, 2009 by mary

This past trip back home to Alabama I started working on my closet in my childhood room.  It’s been sort of cleaned out a few times and it’s been taken over with lots of clothes and other things.  I came across a few things as I did my excavation of the ancient closet.  As I [...]

Playgroup!

Mar 12th, 2009 by mary

I finally got to host playgroup at our house a while back.  I was so afraid that the “big” kids wouldn’t have anything interesting to do here because all we have are baby toys.  The big kids did well and found lots of fun things to play with that were in the 6-9 month old [...]

Gymboree and a Prank

Mar 10th, 2009 by mary

We recently signed up for Gymboree music and I have loved taking John Michael.  He really is musically inclined.  He likes to shake things and move his bootay up and down while standing at his learning table listening to music!  Jordan’s mom went with us and took some pictures of the fun. 

Hey, who’s taking my [...]

What a beautiful, warm day we had in Alabama today!  It was a wonderful day mainly because I finally got my hair cut and colored (yay!) and we took John Michael to a park.  I’m feeling so much better with a little color on my hair.  Some of you may know that I refuse to [...]
