There's The Church, There's the Steeple...

Henry loved going to church for the first time on Sunday. He was able to attend his Uncle Stephen's church for his first church outing. He was the most popular visitor at the First Baptist Church and I do believe the cutest one they have had in a long time ( I am partial, you know).

Uncle Stephen was so glad to have Henry at his church. He recognized him from the pulpit and told everyone about giving him his first real baseball and such. It was cute. Some of the ushers asked Juju if Henry had on a dress. She assured them it was a gown and it was made for a boy. So, if you are looking at these photos and wondering...know that it is a gown and it is proper for an infant to wear things like this...especially a classy little infant like Henry Patton!


I think Henry got a bit convicted at the beginning of the sermon...or he was upset about people talking trash about his gown. He cried out and raised his arms in the air. Like a good Southern Baptist mama, I took him out and we sat in Uncle Stephen's study until the end of the service. His cousins and his Juju were so glad to have him at their church.

Good thing I wasn't there to hear someone accuse him of wearing a gown. I may have disrupted the worship service. Now, wouldn't that have been a hoot !
Only kidding...just let him outgrow the gown stage ASAP!

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
