Friendship, Love & Loyalty

Here are some pictures from sipsnstrokes. I had the privilege of meeting up with some sorority sisters to sip & stroke on night. These girls were the most influential group of girls in my life while I was in college. They were all Srs. the year I pledged AGD. I admire their friendship with one another & closeness and their relationships with the Lord. They are a wonderful group of women who I am glad to call them friend. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to visit with them and catch up for a few hours. Thanks Shana for the invitation. Thanks Shelley for the creative pictures!

Of coarse our lovely artwork is hilarious. We were there for 4 hours. By the end of the evening I just decided to quit painting. Who knew Catalillies could be so hard?

The VIRUS

So we have been hit been the virus and it is still lingering at our house with Ella Joy, or so we think. She got sick on September 18. I know, that will be 2 weeks ago this week. Trey and I caught it as well. This has lead to Ella Joy waking up in the middle of the night with awful diapers. She literally wakes up calls for me and says, "I pooped". How can I not laugh in the middle of the night? Trey has come in a few times to check on her and she sits right up and says,"Hi daddy". She has been awake for hours during the middle of the night and I admit, I have given up trying to make her go back to sleep in her on bed leaving her to cry, so I have let her come and lay down with us. Here are some pictures from our week. I pray this bug leaves our house and doesn't come back!

Learning to Tie

Ella Joy loves shoes. I don't know what it is about mine & Trey's shoes, but she likes to play with them. She likes to try to tie them and untie them and then keep doing that over and over. She likes to put on and take of socks. I love to watch her learn and try new things. These are some pictures of her wearing our shoes.

Cousins

This is a picture of Cole, Addison & Ella Joy. This was the last time they were all together before school began. We were at the Graham Family Reunion. We love getting to see everyone and spend time with other relatives. The other picture is of Rachel Bazzell. She is a cousin of mine that I grew up with. We graduated from high school together too. It was always fun to have a cousin the same age and to walk through life with. This is her little boy Mark He was born the May after Ella Joy. Needless to say, they look like they could be the same age.
