Baby Legs

My favorite baby product as of now are these ADORABLE leg warmers that my classy friend Loria gave me.

They are perfect for crawlers, so they don't get carpet burn. And they are so cute!

Emery 9 Months

It has been awhile since I posted so I'm "marathon" posting tonight. We have been so busy with moving and ministry. We have finally finished our painting and revamping of the house. I've already hosted three parties! I had our monthly girls night get together, our entire family, and all Benji's Sunday School teachers over in a weeks time....whew!

Emery has also been keeping me busy. She is crawling all over the place now. She is eating new things every day. I think she is pretty much done with "baby" food. She really enjoys her "finger" foods now.

She has four teeth with another pushing through. At her 9 month appointment this week she measured in at 30 inches and 18 lbs....tall and skinny. ha ha I remember those days! So long ago!

Speaking of, I am still working hard to get rid of that baby weight that is still hanging on.

We also planted our first garden this spring. We have tomatoes, red, green and orange bell peppers, squash, blackberries, basil, parsley, dill, chives and oregano. yumm!

Benji is having not so much fun cutting the grass every weekend, but our yard sure does look good! We are having a blast in our new home and love being back in Greenville.








First experience with a half of a whole banana.

Girls Night: Derby Style

Back in February a few girls and I started getting together to have a Girls Night. Each month we take turns hosting theme parties. This month was my turn.

So in honor of my Kentucky "roots" I hosted my first ever "post" Derby party. Complete with hats, derby pie and mint juleps(baptist style, of course).





Girls Weekend In Hotlanta

A few weekends ago, the missions minister (Ange), the associate pastor's wife (Jocelyn), the daughter in law of the pastor AND SIL of Ange (Carla) and me got to get away for a much needed girls weekend!

We had a blast! We ate way too many carbs, I'm talking loaves of bread, people. Stayed up WAY too late talking our heads off, and spent too much money and time shopping......

We stayed in the swanky Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. We had dinner at Two Urban Licks, which is hidden in an old abandoned warehouse....way cool. Ange had eaten there before and hooked us up with reservations.

Saturday before the shopping excursion we had breakfast at the famous OK Cafe in Buckhead. We fueled up and headed on to Trader Joe's and then to Ikea.

Benji kept E all weekend, AND painted the bathroom! What a man I have! We had a blast and have the next one planned already.

Me, Angela, Jocelyn and Carla
