Our Life in Bullets

*We've been so busy lately I haven't had time to think straight, and I won't be getting a break from the business anytime soon. We've got full plates for the next three weeks, but hopefully after that things will slow down around here a bit. I don't really know where to begin, so I think I'll just start from the beginning! (Always a good place to start!)

*We went to Birmingham for Mother's Day and had a nice visit with Aaron's family. We had some family pictures taken of the whole clan while we were there and had a really good time. They took me to eat at Jim and Nicks for my birthday and completely spoiled me with cake and presents.



Karen and Justin got me the Sara Snow book. I've really been wanting to read it because I find "green" living interesting and she is considered a Green Living Expert. My in-laws got me the Rachael Ray cookbook to go along with....



this gorgeous set of Rachael Ray cookware! I have needed new cookware for a long time---the stuff I got when I married turned out to be no good---and I was absolutely SHOCKED and THRILLED when I recieved the cookware! Thanks again Oma and Opa!

*For my birthday my wonderful husband and daughter got me a new wallet to match my Vera bag and a food processor. I was the most excited about the food processor. When did practical gifts become exciting? My parents got me this really cool organizer for the refridgerator...again with the practical gifts that I love! I also got a really funny card from my brother---he always picks the best cards! I was so spoiled by my family...I love all of you!

*I think the MOST exciting thing about my birthday was the cake my mom sent...well, not the cake itself, but the people who brought it! Lauren and Becca came with their kiddos and arrived on my birthday! It was so wonderful to spend time with them! We had a blast!

*We went to the mall and Caroline got to ride in a double stroller for the first time.



*I discovered what a great helper in the kitchen Blair is and she helped me with the Baked Spaghetti.



*Bec and La surprised me and brought Caroline some pjs to match Blair and Abbey.





*Caroline and Logan had a blast playing with Blair through the window.




*We went to the book store and happend updon a 60% off sale of children's books. The kids had a good time reading while we shopped. Caroline and Logan also found some empty shelves to climb in....the little monkeys!




*We went to the park and Caroline loved climbing in and out of the tube. I think she only crawled across once, but she loved it.



*On their last day here we went to the beach. Caroline loves the beach and the ocean. I know she would just run right into the ocean if we'd let her. Instead of that though, I sat with her and Blair where the waves would crash over us and we had fun. I am looking forward to more beach days this summer!




*Well that's it. This week we've been busy playing catch up and I've had some Doctor's appointments. Hope all is well with all of you!
