And now for something completely different...

Hi all!

This is not one of those scheduled posts! Aren't you thrilled? Yeah ... I thought so! Here's what we've been doing lately:

Visiting with family. Mom and dad and Melanie (future Sister in Law) left Sunday afternoon so it is just our small family here with my grandparents (and Maggie, their dog). It has been so nice!!

Walking. My grandparents live in a small town where you can walk downtown and spend time at the antique (!!) shops, the coffeehouse, and the drugstore (which has the best milkshakes!). I haven't stepped on a scale but I am hoping all this walking isn't fruitless. :]



Taking pictures! Melanie left her camera with me to play with, so I have been having fun with that. Hers is slightly (okay, a lot) better than my camera, so it is a treat!




Taking steps. Well, one at a time. Yeah, I am talking about Ben. He'll take a step and then lunge forward. This is too much!

Getting Trimmed. And I don't mean Christmas trees. Benjamin had his first haircut today ... he looks like a big boy now and it is depressing! But adorable.






Parading. Or, er, watching others parade around. A long, almost not worth it parade. Actually it was a short parade in length, but it took soooo long.







Loving.

Relaxing.

Cryingandwakingupalotatnight. Well, Benjamin anyway...

Not worrying about neighbors or cleaning house or doing laundry.

It's been really nice.

It doesn't snow very often in Georgia, and when it does, it is almost always just a thin, thin sheet of snow that turns promptly to mush after about 15 minutes. Well, except for last year ... and the year of the above picture, whenever that was. I believe we had a blizzard that year. I don't remember it!

Anyway, we look cute! Ben sometimes plays with that stuffed animal.

Run Away!

A couple of old pictures here ... as you can see this is from back when Hubby and I were 'courting'. 2 Clues - Blonde hair, no wedding ring. Actually I think we were engaged. You'd think after seeing me like this he'd have been prepared for my craziness to come - not so!





Run away very fast! And no, my face never did get stuck that way! Thankfully!

I just can't wait!



On the road again



Goin' places that I've never been.
Seein' things that I may never see again



And I can't wait to get on the road again.



On the road again -
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway



We're the best of friends.
Insisting that the world keep turning our way



And our way
is on the road again.



-------

We are going to be out of town for two weeks! Keep us in your prayers as we travel! We are going to visit family and friends and we will be back with you December 14th. Don't worry, I have a few posts scheduled starting Dec. 4th.

Have a fantastic next two weeks! I'll catch up with you all when I get home!
