Another week, another fun, family-filled weekend

Bloggin’ is kinda like exercising….the more you get out of the groove, the harder it is to bounce back. I have sat down at my computer more than a dozen times this week, only to be interrupted by a sweet, but curious 11 month old who thinks that wipes belong in the refrigerator and shoes go in the trashcan. More than ever, MR’s personality is shining through. She is into everything!

MR is certainly keeping me busy these days. The idea of “free-babysitters” (aka family members) who love your child unconditionally has been yet another perk of living back home. On Friday, we headed to Athens to celebrate Big Daddy’s 59th birthday with Grac C, Trent, Lauren, and Hendley. Hamburgers, potato chips, pickles, an ice cream cake, a cousins bath, and lots of laughs topped off the occasion. MR and Hendley were hilarious. There’s no doubt that these two are a handful when they are together!

Saturday was all about yardwork, football, and complimentary child care services from Aunt B (Hannah). It didn’t take long for MR to convince Aunt B to take her on a little Miss Rosy ride, or to score three tickets to the Braves “Bark in the Park” game at Turner Field. Twice a year, more than 600 fans gather at the ballpark with their beloved canines to cheer on the Atlanta Braves. Thank you Aunt B for the free ballpark tickets and for spending your day off with sweet Mary Reese!

Little Miss Rosy kept the cousins busy for most of Friday afternoon.

Love Light, I see pretty smocked dresses, a sweet little brother, and a move back to the south in your future…
