Gator Party

We had some friends and our neighbors over last week to watch the Gators win yet another championship (yes we could get used to this). As you can see, we dug out everything we had that was orange and blue and adorned our house. Looking forward to doing this again next January!

2009 - off to a great start

2009 is off to a great start!  Here's a short ramble....Hank is away for a few days up in Athens so me and Jacob will be hanging out by ourselves all weekend :(   We miss you Hank!  ...Tonight I decided that Jacob would take me on a date so we went to Cracker Barrell.  That boy sure can eat!  He enjoyed coloring his menu and then playing with the peg game.  He even paid!  Well - not really :)  We ran into a friend and he said he would tell Hank "I was out with another man".  Yep - he's short - but sooo cute :).....It finally got COLD.... After a very warm December - it finally feels like it should outside....Went to playgroup today;  I have some awsome mom friends - we always have a great time while our kids burn off their energy...Hank and I started our tv train wreck that is American Idol.  Yes we DVR every episode of every season.  We're nuts I know - but it always makes us laugh so here we are....Our friend Becca has moved here to student teach and eventually become a band director.  She is also playing in our church orchestra with Hank.... she's awsome and we like having her around :)......oh!  last week we had a blast with friends and neighbors watching the Gator's win another championship.  Pics to come......We got a new computer!!!  Yep - no more putting the old laptop on blue ice to keep it from shutting down.  YAY for a brand new Dell with a huge monitor and wireless keyboard.....Jacob got his first bike for Christmas.  We have "lessons" every now and then.  He really enjoys it - but doesn't quite get the whole pedaling thing yet....We are going to Savannah for our annual GMEA trip (Hank's music educators conference) at end of month.  It will be fun to see old friends, drive by our old house, eat out, stay in a hotel, see all our friend's new babies....always a fun trip......I think I will be visiting this store I love back in Rincon called Sweet Pea's - they have a huge Vera Bradley collection :)....I found out today when our church's VBS is - so I'm looking forward to helping this year...last year we were out of town......Christy - this is for you if you read our blog.....A friend of mine collects nativity sets and fell in love with the one you sent us.  I was able to send her their website and she has ordered one.  She is real involved with missions and loves that it supports the ladies in Poland... Thanks so much for giving it to us :).....Facebook - I am sooooo enjoying finding old friends and keeping up with everyone else who is just as addicted to it as I am... - but NOW Hank is on too - so I would ask all you Facebookers to throw snowballs at him, kidnap him, send him flair - etc. :)  His wall needs more junk like that :)  He is having fun finding his old HS band buddies and also kids he taught back in FL - and also all his grad school buddies......well its late and the bed is calling.  Until next time....
