Asheville come to town




Okay, a dear friend of mine, who I have not seen in almost 12 years came to visit us the day after Thanksgiving. My lovely friend Mariah made her apperance and what a great reunion we had... and by the way she is a phenominal cook, I almost was replaced. We had such a great visit and I miss her dearly. Camp friends are the greatest. Ri this blog is for you! and remember do not bag your own groceries in the South!! Haha!

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!




Paige is anxiously awaiting her second visit from Santa. She is in awe of all of the presents around the tree and likes to look at santa, but "no touch" then will point at me to push his little button.

Just this week!

When I know how to book myself, I like to do it big!! This week is Thanksgiving, a time for family and friends...well I have decided to do it all.
First, with impending company on the horizon, Michael and I took the bull by the horns and finally after three years in our home cleaned and made our guest bedroom just that. That infused a cleaning frenzy on my part. I over the past 24 hours have washed walls, baseboards, dusted in places I did not know existed getting our home up for code. Meanwhile, shopped for thanksgiving dinner, did laundry, and well there is Paige. I thought I would be exhausted( yes about 10 pm) I will, but I feel extremely empowered and proud. I also know my grandmother has rolled over in her grave at least 10 times during today watching from heaven as I scrubed away!
Second, my college roommate Tricia will be visiting tomorrow, a lot of shopping and gossiping to catch up on with Paige in tow! After a long day of chatting dinner and drinks with Holly. I expect a headache Weds. morning. I will still be at spin class. There I have committed myself!
Third, my dear friend from North Carolina is coming to visit me and meet Paige on Friday morning. We are heading over to Jackson to pick her up!!! I am so excited and cannot wait to see her... I am throwing a meet and greet on Friday night at 0ur house for all of our friends here to meet one of my dearest friends....
Finally I need to back track, Michael and I are hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our house! I am very excited and I remember fondly Bonnie preparing for the holiday weeks in advance with at least eight types of dressing....
Paige is going to have a busy week....Keep me in your prayers please. I hope to find everyone has a wonderful and safe turkey day....

My big Girl!


Here is a picture of Paige at 17 months, she is growing up so fast and now looks like a little girl. Not much to report except that she is a singing queen. She comes home from mother's day out everytime singing a new song. Her personal favorite "wheels on the bus" and itsy bitsy spider" and we know all of the hand motions!!!

GO TIGERS

Beach 2008






At the end of September, we all took Paige on her first adventure to the beach. We arrived on a Saturday after the long journey which she did amazing....and hit the beach. She was a little uncertain about having sand beneath her toes,(any one who knows her she is not a fan of being dirty) but saw a whole new world to explore and she was then off. She enjoyed playing with her bucket and shovel, feeding the birds( sea gulls) and hanging out with the family... The trip was so relaxing and we are looking forward to next year and taking our little "beach baby" back!

computer issues

We have had such a great summer and fall and no one to share it with due to our USB cord being out of sorts and we are all fixed and I am ready to blog.

Welcome to the world of blogging

Okay, I new to this whole concept and also I have been meaning to do this for months. Story of my life. I am setting this whole blog up to keep everyone up to date with our sweet daughter Paige. We have family that lives all over so I thought this would be a great way for them to see her as she is growing into the fun loving toddler she is becoming, everyday! Enjoy!
