Lately

A glimpse at what has happened lately...

Kim and Cory welcomed sweet Allie to the world this past week!!

 Allie gave me a reason to make cinnamon rolls...and Kim loves them, so why not.  I sent this picture to Kim on Friday morning at 5:30am in response to her message letting me know that she was up and ready for  me to meet Allie (and for her cinnamon rolls).  Heck, I love them.  Just looking at this picture makes me want to get up and make a batch.  Jackson friends - answer your door if I show up in about 5 hours - I might be bringing cinnamon rolls because they can't stay in my house.  I have a dress to fit in, in a month and this suckers aren't going to help that cause.

 My boys - enjoying a post-call nap together.  Not sure why the dog is the on sofa and not on his bed or in his chair.  My guess...his daddy let's him get away with murder.  Oh wait - that's me that takes him to get ice cream and Chick Fil A on call days...never mind.

 My present from Tucker on Friday afternoon...a stinky, muddy belly from him napping in the bushes after it rained.  Other than having to immediately give him a bath, I am taking the hint, we need pine straw...I am aware.

 After church today, I decided to work on my lack of tan.  Tucker participated for about 5 minutes, then he said, "Mom, you're crazy.  I am going to get in the shade."

 "Yep, Mom.  The shade is so much better.  I don't even care if my bed, which isn't normally allowed outside is over there with you - I am staying in the shade."

It was just too darn pretty not to enjoy it.  However, this is also known as - fry your pale self in a hurry sky.  It lived up to its name.
