At the Shrimp Boil:
One week ago today, Baby Lucy was baptized. Can you belive that I don't have a single picture of just her? She was very busy making her debut to all of her aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. And she ate, and ate, and ate. And socialized. And I just didn't get a chance to take her picture! Shame on me!
We started off the weekend with a Shrimp Boil at Mary Michael and John Ashley's house on Saturday night. Lots of family in town for the special occasion! Yummy food and fun company! The kids all played on the trampoline and later in the poison ivy. Only a few bumps and bruises, but otherwise the evening was a huge success. But don't ask Kit Kat. She'll complain that the hot dogs were bun length and she doesn't do bun length.
Sunday morning was beautiful. The weather was just perfect. Lucy wore the baptism gown that Mary Michael wore when she was a baby (made by my mom's aunt who is now deceased). She was a little doll. She was so beautiful and so well behaved. And there was a nursery available for those who weren't well behaved, so I was able to hear the political message/sermon from the pulpit. ( I think Al Gore was there). And Landon...kids just don't get any better than Landon. He was the best big brother ever!
Following the service, lunch was provided. My children are still asking me, "Why did they serve salad to little kids?" Oh, I've got to do better! Lunch was wonderful. (But again, don't ask Kit Kat. They served chicken fingers and KitKat doesn't do chicken fingers, only chicken nuggets from McDonlads!)I especially loved the pork tenderloin with the Jezebel sauce (MM, I have the recipe for the sauce. I complimented it and they printed me a copy!). Her cake was darling and delicious! Although, MM, did anyone get to see it before they cut it?? I hope you took a picture!
I wish I had a picture to show of precious little Lucy. She was perfect.
Thanks for such a lovely weekend!
Thanking God today for my awesome family!

Tiffany, what a beautiful write up - just like B'ham's social page. Too bad, we don't have an audio of all the fun and giggles and humming of " love songs" litttle ones sing when the family is together. love you, mom. can't wait for Easter dinner at the cabin.
What a beautiful family!! I miss the big family get togethers from when I was younger. We are military and not close to family.
I have been reading your older entries. I love your style, personality and writing style. The story about "balls" actually made me laugh out loud.
My youngest son, Todd, is the male version of your Kit Kat. Whew, love them to pieces, but without lots of praying I would be in the loony bin. LOL
I will be back.... Have a blessed day.
