Telling Daddy

Saturday - April 11, 2009
Today I told Daddy and Connie, Aunt Babs and Hollye.
Daddy & Connie had planned to come for the day to shop and pick up the vacuum I had scored for them at a yard sale. Little did they know they would be getting news about Baby L upon their arrival. Ashley (Connie's daughter) was with them. She had asked them in the car on the way over when I was going to have a baby. Connie said she thought it would be soon, but she never dreamed she would get the news today! I made an Easter basket full of baby items. A bib, 2 pacifiers, Johnson & Johnson mini baby items, a stuffed lamb and mini Baby Ruth's that I had wrapped "L" around so it read "Baby L". Well, it took them forever to realize what was going on. They stared at that basket for the longest time and I finally had to coach them along until they got it. They screamed, cried, hugged me and smiled from ear to ear. We had a fun day shopping and talking about babies.

I called Aunt Babs & Hollye while we were together and told them the big news. They were excited and passed the phone back and forth. Uncle Joe wanted to know what we had been doing in March. We were all laughing in shock at UJ for being so bold! Hollye was busy dying eggs with Claire and said in her best "Mean Sister" tone, "Well, we know whose eggs will win the contest from now on!" I told her that we shall just see about that in due time…I may loose my creative touch, you never know. I encouraged her to keep on striving for perfection. She and Julie give me a hard time. They love to pick on little Abby. I would not have it any other way though. I love it. I can't wait for them to love Baby L. Anyway, Babs wanted to get out the megaphone and shout it out to all of East Memphis and the surrounding areas but I calmed her down and told her to zip it up until I went to the doctor.
I am excited about all of them loving my baby.

Abby

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go
