Happy Fall Y’all!

Like-family Folks

As transplants often do, we have acclamated ourselves to the town we live in.  We have made such great friends and are lucky to have those people in our lives…here is a few shots from Mae’s first UL tailgating experience with her buds…and our friends too :)

Yes, this was Amelia’s first time sitting in the grass!

More energy- givers!

Miss Mae is growing SO fast, and SO much!!  Over the last few months she became an expert at sitting up, putting everything in her mouth that will fit (or not fit, she has no preference), feeding herself finger “treats”, and standing with her daddy’s help.  Every day she steals a bigger piece of her daddy’s heart.  I know I say it all of the time, but the love that he has for his little girl is the SWEETEST thing in the entire world….and she kinda likes him too ;)  And I have yet to drop her off at day care and not cry on my way to work… Maybe one day!I will be able to do it!

So much to do in so little time…

Sooo it has been quite some time since our blag has been updated, and I sincerely apologize to those of you who visit.  School is in FULL swing for both Momma and Daddy.  Daddy, as always, has a tough load!  Momma has fifty million hats she wears at school, as well as the main hat, “Teacher” that have been too quickly absorbing all of my time and energy.  At the end of the day, the remaining energy I have goes to my family.  I am representing my school’s ELA department in an advanced leadership seminar this year and one professional article we read was about how we spend our energy…I had to laugh to myself because at this time last year, and the year before, Andrew and I complained ALL OF THE TIME because we were SO bored.  When actually given the task to sit down and examine my days to gauge how my energy is spent, I realized that there are so many things throughout my day that suck the energy out of me until I am completely drained.  The next task was to identify those things that restore my energy… Anyone who knows my little family can guess who those 2 people are.  And with that being said, I will share with you my energy givers for the past few months…and leave you with the promise to update more often :)

Labor Day weekend…Terry and Whitney get hitched during a hurricane!!!

Baby Winger’s First Meal

So now that we are back from our trip we are starting out little girl on cereal.  She seems to be like it now but at first she was not sure what to do with all that goo in her mouth.  In about two weeks we will start on the fruits and vegetables.  Her next doctors visit will be on Friday and Day Care will start this week as well!  Mommy’s reign of the house is now at an end.  School has officially started!!!

 

“Seriously Mom, why am I in this chair.  What’s about to happen?”

“This stuff taste terrible!”

 

“More, no way get that out of here!”

“Fine, Ill eat some more but only cause I can’t stop you”

 

Daddy Finally Finished the Chair!!!

As was previously blogged, this chair was passed down from Grams to Son to Daughter.  Now that there was time to finish the chair here are some pictures of the old and then redone chair.
