Girls Night

Friday night we had a girls' night. I mean a real GIRLS NIGHT!! It's been probably over 15-20 years since I went to a slumber party. And I admit, I don't think I could handle doing it very often. I think I slept 2 hours, tops. What I loved was getting to know these precious girls/ladies in a more personal & deeper level. We go to church together & pray for one another. But to have that connection to one another, usually takes years for me & maybe even decades to start to form the bonds we were able to in just one night. We had church. We prayed, we sang......we played games. We snacked & giggled & cried our eyes out pouring out our hearts. It was sweet fellowship. I am blessed to be surrounded by such godly women. And I say it again, I am blessed.

Playdate

Drew had a play date a few weeks ago with his friend, Easton. He so enjoyed having a friend come play in his room & with his toys all day. I can't tell you how sweet it was to have little boys running, giggling, and playing in my house. I loved every sweet morsel of it.

Welcome Baby Clark!

Welcome to the world Baby Clark! My (kk) little brother & his wife (Matt & Kellie), were finally able to bring Clark home last week. He was in the NICU for several days. So, Drew & I waited to go for a visit until they came home. It was so wonderful for Drew to meet "Baby Clark"!! Drew has only known him as being in Aunt Kellie's belly. What a revelation for him to see him face to face. He did such a great job holding him. However, he wanted to keep hugging him & kissing him. It was so sweet. He even gave Clark several of his cars to play with :) He will definitely be a good big brother one day. Congrats Matt & Kellie!! Being a parent is one of the greatest gifts from the Lord. You are blessed beyond measure!!

Happy 80th Birthday - Pappaw

My (kk) Pappaw celebrated his 80th Birthday on Saturday. It was great to see so many members of our family. We don't get together very often,and it was such a sweet celebration. I volunteered to make the cake. If you know my grandfather, his passions are gardening, fishing, shape-note singing and hunting. I had to pick one for the theme of the cake. It was a big hit!! Here's the catfish cake (and every ounce of it was edible :). I even made some "bait" themed cupcakes to accompany it.
