About Me

My photo
This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.

Snow day, play days!






I finally have organized myself with my new computer and now can thankfully upload and access my photos from my digital camera! So, here are a few recent pictures of the snow day as well as a fun morning with Sullivan in the new Children's Museum in downtown Greenville. More pictures and videos are on the way. Hope that you are doing well!

Bought!


Many thanks to those of you who helped me navigate the waters of my computer purchase with your suggestions and comments! I appreciate them! I, too, love macs (and have had one since grade school), but unfortunately, my means don't love the mac price. So, after some research, I purchased a new DELL Inspiron 15 and it seems like a good fit for me with teaching online, my basic needs and my humble budget. My dad was stunned at my PC conversion! Ha!

And thanks to Shane, Danielle, Beth and Lauren for a great Mom's Night Out last night! We missed all of you that couldn't be there and hope to see you next month.

Recently




Hope that this finds you all doing well this week! We are trucking along here...doing quite well. Recently, the last weekend in January, my mom visited and Lee and me were able to get away to Charlotte for the weekend. It was a wintry, lazy weekend, just what we needed! This past weekend we celebrated Lauren and Ben Barden's first baby, coming in a few weeks, at a lovely shower at Beth's house. We also were able to celebrate our friend Cammy's 30th birthday at her house. A very fun couple of weeks, indeed. And in baby #2 news, we had our first appointment at the OB office, and the baby is doing fine and due September 15 (my dates were way off-oops!). Lee was able to be there and see the sonogram, which made it extra special. I hope that you and yours have a fantastic Valentine's week!
PS- See Sullivan's hands, above. I showed her how to use rubber stamps not long ago and now she thinks all drawing utensils are for "stamping" hands and (of course!?) her feet as well. So, above you see her hands covered with markings as a sign of this new artistic outlet. Ha!

On the prowl...

For several things these days...

1. Mexican food. It seems to fit the bill right now, much to Lee's chagrin.
2. A new computer.

Yes, my 2004 ibook has gone to the nether-nether computer land and will not even turn on. Grrrhhh. This means that I can't upload my photos, access files, etc., etc. Friends, do you like the computer you have now? Any suggestions? As I am now teaching an online class, I'll need to remedy this issue soon.

Hope that you all are well and thank you for your kind "baby news" comments. Our first ob appointment is Tuesday and Lee can be there! We are pumped.

My mom is on her way up right now and then Lee and I are off for the weekend to Charlotte! (Savannah was axed as I-26 is closed!?) We are so grateful for some real R&R at the swishy Omni hotel in downtown Charlotte. Lee needs it desperately, as he is on Spine right now. I just hope the winter weather doesn't make it too difficult for us...

Have a great weekend!

And then there were...

Four!

Yes! We have the exciting news to share that we are expecting a second baby! We are so happy! And, to top it off, this child is 7 weeks along and due the first week or so of September, the week of my birthday, my mother-in-law's birthday and both of my brother-in-laws(Tyler and Golson), as well as cousin Chrissy and Aunt Carolyn! Wow! God has blessed us indeed.

I do apologize for spreading the news via the blog...but as so many of us live crazy lives it may take weeks to contact everyone via phone.

In other news, Lee is working extremely hard right now on a spine rotation and he has been missing time with Sullivan. He actually only saw her 2-3 times last week before the weekend came! Ugh! He is missing out on some fun moments like this one...

We are on the brink of potty training with her and so yesterday, I brought her to a store to let her pick out some "big girl panties." She chose Elmo ones (although we've only watched Elmo once or twice, she has a doll of Elmo that she loves), she calls Elmo "La la" as we sing the song often. She then proceeded to "wear" her "La la" panties as hats and bracelets for the rest of the day! Ha! It looks like I'll have to explain a bit more about this to her...:)

Hope that you are all well!
