This and That

Sarah Kate was 5 months old on Friday. Time is going by too fast!
Just before bath time.
Our church asked us if we could decorate for Christmas early this year so the church could film it for some videos during December services. I decorated our dining room and then they decided not to do the filming this year and wait till next Christmas. So, my dining room is ready for guests. I enjoyed getting everything ready!


This weekend was my best friend's baby shower. It was all really nice and I had a wonderful time seeing all the cute things. These cookies are the cutest in the world!

Me and Kelly.
Kelly and her sweet mom, Judy.
Elizabeth, John Michael, Judy (Scott's Mom) and Mary Avery.

Kelly's shower looked like it was perfect--everything was so cute!

Your dining room looks really pretty. I'm ready to have the house decorated for Christmas, I just don't want to have to get the stuff out of the attic and do it!? But I'm afraid I can't find anyone willing to do it for me (except maybe Rhett--that could be interesting!?) :)

Thank you Laurie for the sweet comment on my blog! I've read your blog before because of Kelly. Your girls are so adorable, and I love reading about their little personalities! I hope Sarah Kate starts sleeping through the night soon. I personally let Eli cry it out...it took about two nights and that's it. I turned on a huge box fan so I wouldn't cry too and he cried for about an hour and then he was fine. But of course, you just have to do what you are comfortable with. Hopefully she'll have so much fun over the holidays that she'll want some extra sleep during the night!!!

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST....

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
