Things!

Well first of all HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA! (yesterday) and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KATIE AND DAVID (again yesterday)!!! And HAPPY NEW BABY to Sherrie (last week)!!! And HAPPY WEDDING TO LAURA AND JOHN!!!! I have been busy...sorry :) It has been an eventful couple of weeks. I spent three weekends in the Northern Neck...the greatest place in the world. One weekend I saw the new dorms at SMS which are amazing and have walk in closets...I mean really!?!?! Then Geoff took me on a trip up Catpoint Creek, while testing out the new motor and putting up stakes for duck blinds. Anne and I were bridesmaids at Laura's wedding where we got to catch up with old friends while we danced the night away in the 100 degree Virginia Heat. Laura look beautiful and was so very relaxed. It was perfect! Then Labor Day weekend I played with my nephew all weekend long! He really is the sweetest thing ever. We have a special little bond...well I thought we did...until I heard that an hour after I left on Monday he took his first steps. I think I would have been okay with this if it was to mommy or daddy or even his dear Ganny. But no...it was to cousin Lawrence. :) Of course it was also the opening day of Dove Season, Geoffs favorite day...well it used to be at least. Weekends with my family are some of my favorite. There has been a lot going on with my Grandpolly not doing well and this is when we all count on each other to be there through thick and thin. My favorite times are piling around at the cottage to watch a Steelers Football game that is playing on the east coast at 1am, or maybe it is recorded, rain delay and all. Anyway it is these times that I love and will cherish forever. Ok enough mushy stuff...here is something kind of comical, I think. Sweet little baby Tayloe and his mother are coming to stay with me tonight. I do not have kids, therefore I have no baby stuff at all. I called Barret's mom. She has three grandchildren, I knew somewhere there had to be a crib. There was, yay! Thanks Maureen!! Anyway, yesterday Barret stopped by his mom's house to pick it up, threw it in the back on the truck and was on his way. Now I must tell you there is never anyone in the alley or in the backyard when I get home. But of course today as Barret is unloading a baby crib the whole neighborhood was watching. Not only was there a crib that could have been hidden because it was in a bag, (except for the Fisherprice crib written on the outside that Barret displayed), but there was a tiny mattress also that I carried in to the house. I had to laugh a little because the two of us moved so fast so no one would realize what we were carrying into the house, but I am convinced the whole neighborhood thinks that I am preggers. I am sure I will have some more pics of little T, but you can also read my sister's blog http://www.emeryblaby.blogspot.com/

So I hope everyone is well and enjoying what is left of summer.
