Weekend with Papa
Well it has been awhile since I have posted. Life is my only excuse!
Along with loosing my wedding rings, trying to stay up on my housework (which I would only get and E in for effort) and all the other things : picking up behind an adult and a 7 year old (guess which one is the hardest to keep up with -- adult) cooking cleaning trying to organize all the "stuff" from the in-law's, trying to find new client and trying to make sure I stay in touch with old ones doing volunteer work at Tori's school and at our church's "Path to Shine" I am being told to "get a full time job".
Excuse me for living.
Only two weeks to go!
Hard to believe that school will soon be out! Good thing no more getting up at 5:30a.m. for a while!! Victoria is looking forward to staying up all night! I just don't want to get up until at least 7.
Things we want to do this summer break vs. things we know we can do is the topic of conversation around our house. We are planning to go to the lake maybe around July 4th and down to PaPa's so we can go to Tybee again this summer. One point of this summer break is it is only 9 weeks.
Kids in Cobb County start back to school on Aug 2. This coming school year we will have more breaks.

We had trouble emailing this to you so we had to post it here and we hope it works!
Christmas in January
Nana came to our house after rehab. She arrived on Friday evening. Today, Sunday January 24th we had Nana and Pop open their Christmas presents. Prior to the present opening, Victoria made a video. I hope you enjoy it.
Holiday House Atlanta
I stayed home from church on Sunday December 6th and watched the house show that comes on TV about exquisite homes. I saw this about builder Steve West. Then I saw the web address for the Atlanta Holiday House. I went to the web site and saw that they were asking for volunteers. I signed up and Trisha called me. My first day was Wednesday Dec 9th. I enjoyed it and went back on the 11th and helped with the party Saturday night.
Merry Christmas and go see the house.

Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving!
Our day started Wednesday at 10 am. We cleaned and prepared for the arrival of our guests. I set the table - yes I put out the china and the silver!! We waited for Papa and Dean to arrive. Scott said he would come late on Wednesday evening. Papa and Dean got here while we were out picking up the greens for Thursday dinner. Papa forgot he had a key so I reminded him and they let themselves in. We got back soon after and Dean was already fishing on his internet dating site. He had hooked him one and was on his way to meet her. I stayed up all night. Took a nap at 6:30 and got up at 7:30, then stayed up all day long until 2:30a on Friday morning. Reminds me of the days where I worked at the hospital. We had lots of food. We all ate drank and had a great time.

Nov 1, 2009
The Day finally came. We finally got to worship in our new church built on an old rock!
With a temporary CO granted graciously by the commissioners of Cobb county we held services in our new facility. We were all so happy. With two services on at 8 a.m. and the other at 10:30 am with Sunday School in between. We had 78 people in the first 8 am service and approximately 375 in the 10:30 service. We had over 40 children in Children's church and it was so nice to see them march into the new nave. Our month is starting off wonderfully. On Thursday, Nov 5th we will have a book signing and reception for our Presiding Bishop Katherine.
Enjoy the photos!

Hope you are having fun!!!!
Victoria did clean her room enough to go trick or treating!!!!
The Dance
Here is the video I tried to post earlier this month and couldn't. You may have caught it on Facebook. If not here it is: Victoria is dancing at the grand opening of Lenbrook with one of there handsome residents Mr. Oliver.
Wow! I think I have the video back!
After scouring through the blogs and techy papers I had to make some changes and now they say it should work. Stay tuned for some video posts. We got Dancing and wedding posts to put on here. Will try to deliver this weekend. Have a good one and Share your comments.
Blogger has taken away our video upload
There seems to be something going on with Blogger and video so click on the above link and see it on Facebook. Sorry for the inconvenience I miss the video concept
Victoria trying on the dress
We took a trip to Town Center Mall and went to David's Bridal Shop for Victoria to try on the dress she is to wear in her cousin, Honora Gathings' wedding. They only had sizes 3 & 6. The six was too big. The three fit good if she was wearing it tomorrow. She is petite and has height. So the question is will she take a four come next April? Will she grow any more in height? She hardly eats so will she gain any weight? Hopefully, Honora will see this video of the dress and let us know if this is what she envisions for her perfect day!
Maddies Birthday
September 29 nine years ago a two pounder came in to this world as a miracle to her mother and father. Since that time she has blessed everyone she has came in contact with. Especially her pony "Daisy". Tonight 10-03-09 we celebrated her birthday at "Country Girls" Cafe on Hwy 67 in Bulloch County GA. Mamma, Buddy, Gene, Rhonda and Victoria joined Maddie with her parents Joe and Dale. We enjoyed a wonderful meal. Maddie opened her presents and we had a wonderful cake that was baked by one of the patients at Maddie's mother's office.
Happy Birthday Maddie!! We Love You!
Happy Birthday Maddie!! We Love You!
Happy Birthday Victoria!
Wow! Wednesday brings the sixth birthday of our Victoria! Hard to believe that six years ago I was blessed to give birth to a beautiful baby girl.
We didn't have a large number of people but we had a great time with the ones that did come.

Second Day of School reporting in!
Well, we did good!!
She was up at 6am. Dressed and down stairs ready to go at 6:35 am. I had packed her back pack with supplies requested by the school. She had to carry in her hands the boxes of tissues and Nap Mat. She was loaded. Hallelujah it all made it to school (or so she said it did)! She was tired walking it all to the bus stop. We have to walk a 1/2 mile to the bus stop. The first day it was exciting and Nana and Pop drove me home; second day a different story I had to walk home with out my Tori! First day bus came that afternoon at 2:57 pm. Second day I had a client and she left my house at 2:45 pm and I left behind her in my car to pick up Tori. Got there and waited. The bus came at 3:10 pm the opposite way! Ms. Kiki had been early and wouldn't leave her there. So after her route was over she doubled back -- Thank you Ms Kiki!!! We will be there today at 2:50 pm.

Pulling her second tooth
Pulling of the second tooth. She did this the week before school. So she started school with her two bottom teeth out. She was hanging on to that tooth almost like the last.
BTY: tooth fairy gave her $2.00 for the tooth!
First Day of School August 10, 2009
First day at Nickajack Elementary School!!Would she go? Of course she would. That was never the question. The question was would we make it on time! YES, we did - and we were early to the bus stop.
Nana and Pop even got up early and came all the way from Buckhead to see her get on the bus.
We will try to post more pictures on here and on Facebook. So check us out there also.
She had a great time. I think she was more excited about riding the bus than going to school.
I hope the videos work and you enjoy them.
At 7 AM
Hot day, 90+ degrees at 2:57 pm when she got off bus.
Maddie meets Miley
Maddie got to meet Miley Cyrus. She had had a previous time at the beach of seeing Miley and a chance to be an extra in the movie. However, the time of filming was not convenient time for Maddie and her family.
