Because you've waited so patiently...

This summer, we made several short trips to Jackson. We love staying with Granddaddy, Grandmother, and Mamie...where else can a wee girl get sooooo much attention at one time. Most every visit, we also got to visit with Hayley, Jay, Nichole, and our favorite cousin Miles. Rebekah has a favorite toy in Jackson. It is a duck that "quack, quack, quacks"...Granddaddy decided he had a better "quacker"...and the Beks was quite impressed with his duck call. She loves her (Great) Granddaddy.
Our Mamie is quite the lady. She is also quite the shopper especially when it comes to her Beks. She couldn't resist the lure of the GloWorm. The GloWorm was a hit. This is Rebekah giving it kisses.

We (Daddy, Momma, and the sweetness) also spent some time on the Trace on our bikes.

This is the Beks getting ready to head out with Momma. The iBert safety seat has proven to be a great purchase.

I mentioned our visit with the Rogers girls in a gratitude list. They are too sweet. Uncle JR, Aunt KeithAnn, and Baby Rebekah LOVE THEM. They spent one afternoon and night with us. It was altogether lovely. And if you live in the Lake Charles, LA area, you should check out their Daddy's new restaurant...The Landing at Contraband.

All our girls being crafty.

THE END

Thank you very much.

What a week!

This week most of us have had some kind of sickness. J.R. on Sunday. KA on Wednesday and Thursday. NO. FUN.

Aside from the sickness, we rode bikes and walked. And some of us shopped (Thanks, J.R.) And one of us painted.

Rebekah has been pretty perfect. She thinks she is a grown up. And she has grown so much.

It is hard to believe her birthday is literally around the corner. She is really laughing at us, lately. This week she has enjoyed giving us a toy, just to take it away.

This weekend, J.R. worked in the yard A LOT. He also bought a tractor. He has some lofty plans for our piece of land.

Our calendar is pleasantly blank for the majority of this week but I will be super busy painting.

I have several things I would like to finish before Friday and must finish before Spring Break.

Our every March weekend is booked and busy with birthday parties and baby showers and weddings.

And this weekend, we are really looking forward to a visit from the super cute author of Life in the Eyes of a Child. Rebekah can't wait for her to get here so they can trade hair secrets.

Good friends.

What makes a good friend?

Loyalty, rocking listening skills, a loving heart?

Definitely those things.

But it doesn't hurt for them to be giving...

Like our friends the Alfords in Pensacola.

Who passed on this bike trailer for Beks and a jogging stroller.

Yay them!

Thanks so much.
