Christmas Faces - Part 1

Marmie was with us the week of Christmas. She was our only overnight house guest this year and she was a special one, for sure. Henry got lots of Marmie time. I hope the Fab Four don't hate Henry already! ha.

We loved meeting Henry's 2nd cousin, Caden. He came a few days after Christmas. He is the son of Randall's cousin, Micah and his wife, Tabby. We are hoping our boys will grow to be good buddies. Caden is 53 weeks older than Henry.

Randall's Aunt Diana "Sissy" loves a baby and this means our little Henry is on her list! She is Caden's "Grams" and she came with Uncle Rick to see Henry. She had not seen him since the hospital. We were so glad to see her again.

We saw lots of these sweet people, his Nana and Papa. Only being an hour away, Molly can come keep him for me while Papa goes tool shopping, etc. Papa loves a bargain and Nana loves a baby...score for them! We took Henry to their house the Sunday before Christmas to see Nana's white and blue tree and to eat lunch.

Henry met this sweet man the morning after he was born when he came to the hospital. This is Randall's grandad, Pat. This is where Henry's middle name comes from - Patton. We took Henry to see him the Sunday before Christmas. I think they will be good buddies. Randall's Aunt Dee Dee and Uncle Tim may come see him soon (Dee is Pat's daughter) and we look forward to Henry meeting them. His Uncle Tim is one of the funniest people we know. I need a good laugh.


This week we still have lots of Christmas to do and many other faces to see (that will be post "Part 2" this weekend). Grandaddy, Aunt Connie, Juju, Fab Four, Uncle Stephen, Aunt Babs, Hollye, Claire, Thew, Uncle Joe and Ashley are all going to see this baby boy on Friday when we trek over to north Mississippi. He is anxious to meet the Fab Four. I cannot wait to get a picture of the 5 of them together and one with Claire in the mix. My heart may explode.


In January, we will do a "part 3 trip to the Fort" post. I cannot wait for Henry to meet his "people" on the west side of the state. In early Spring he will meet my Mawmaw and UD when we take him to Texas. My heart goes crazy thinking about him meeting them...come on Spring!

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

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
