Our Thanksgiving Part 1

We spent Thanksgiving at Steve's Granny's house in Mississippi. She has a big wonderful family and I always enjoying being around them! Here are my girls playing with their beautiful cousin Maddie.
This is Sam Henry, Josh and Steve's twin cousins, Allison and Angela. Sweet sweet people!
Emily having a little cuddle time with Granny. She is 88.
Olivia and Carol. Notice the ultrasound pictures Olivia is holding. She has a baby boy due in 10 weeks. These girls are a lot of fun to be with.
Resting after the delicious meal.
Cousin Mills.
Here are the girls are with Kay-K as we were about to go to Granny's house.
Lauren and Erica. Sweet girls. Lauren is a pediatrician and she ought to send me a bill after all the questions I asked her.

We had a great day and a ton of good food. I know I have gained weight. We have so much to be thankful for.

Ha! I have been reading your blog for a while now and just happened to look at today's blog and realized I knew somebody in your post Josh S., (Lauren's husband). We went to church together at LHBC in Olive Branch. His family are very sweet people. Small world :)

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.
