Well, I’m sure y’all remember my “spa” trip to the dentist, right? If not, go refresh yourselves and see if it sounds like something you would find fun and relaxing, or at least needed, or just plain “indulgent” (as Simon says) like me. If it sounds fun, we got ANOTHER mailer from them, and this […]
Baby Tips
It’s baby season!! Everyone I know is pregnant right now, and it seems like there’s a new announcement every day! A few of my closest friends (and most loyal readers!) are having their first baby – Lindsay, Barkley, and Deidre. So since we all know that NO ONE ever gives you child rearing advice when […]
My Nephew Has a First Name, it’s O-S-C-A-R. . .
Well, it’s not Oscar, but he does have a name! James Elijah, to be called Eli. So the cousins will be Ali and Eli!!! So apparently my blog has a pressuring effect and can get things done! ;) Just kidding, I don’t think it had to do with me. Not EVERYTHING has to do with […]
Ali’s Vacation!
Ali had a wonderful time at Gramamma and Pop’s, so I figured she would appreciate it if I blogged about her vacation also. My parents just got some chicks – from 1 day old to 2 weeks old. When I got there to drop Ali off, we went to see them, and the first thing […]
It’s a Boy!!!
My third “grandbaby” is a little boy!!! Barkley and Jeremy got their sonogram this morning and we are all super excited! He looked good and healthy, and performed very well having his picture taken :)Now if we could just get a final name to call him, but hey – I’m still waiting on that for […]
Kiawah, Take Two
We had another fun day today. Our plan was to bike the second half of the Island, or at least a small part of it (I’m still amazed at how huge the Island is!!). The second half is unallowable by car (unless you live there), but allowable by bike. It’s the sssuuuuppperr fancy half, where […]
Loving life on Kiawah
We are having a wonderful time in Kiawah Island! We started our trip out with a stop to our formerly in Birmingham favorite wing place, Wing Stop (closed due to our restaurant curse – see #22). They have the MOST amazing fries ever – they have sugar and salt on them, and wow are they […]
that beeping bird!
I’m waiting on Chris to get home so we can leave, so I thought I’d do one more blog before we head out! We have a big tree outside our window, so we get blessed with listening to birds chirp in the morning. It really is pleasant and is a nice thing to wake up […]
Destination Kiawah Island!!!
We’re headed out around lunchtime tomorrow and will be back Tuesday night!! We’re off to ride bikes on the beach and on bike trails, eat at fun places, enjoy being on an island, visit with our great friends Barkley, Jeremy and baby-on-the-way, spend LOTS of quality time together, you get the picture!!! Ali is off […]
cuisine de ali
This morning, we were playing in Ali’s bedroom, and she reached towards my mouth. She does this often, as she likes pointing out my teeth and saying “teef!!”. So I opened my mouth really wide for her as usual. For some reason I failed to notice that her thumb and index finger were together. All […]
