Catching Up

Kyle and I have had a busy busy week! Last weekend, we went to Nemo, Texas, home of Kyle's wonderful grandparents Mama and Big Daddy. They live on a beautiful farm, and we love going to visit. It may just be the most relaxing place I've ever been...hardly a sound can be heard except the birds, crickets, and the occasional moo of the cows in the nearby field. I know...sounds almost too good to be true! I just love it. Big Daddy's birthday bash was last Saturday, and most of the family came in town to celebrate. We had a ball eating, laughing, and watching baby Bryden (the first great-grandchild in the family). Here are a few pics from the weekend.

In other news, Kyle and I had a doctor appointment today. They were super busy, and baby was getting hungry, so I was thankful for that granola bar I had in my purse! Anyway, we got a great report, with baby's heartbeat fluctuating between 142 and 150 bpm. We are so thankful for good news. Dr. McMinn also told us that instead of waiting four weeks to find out the gender, she wants us back in three! No objection from us! We can't wait to find out if we are having a little girl or a boy. Kyle is funny...he said he is 52 percent sure it is a girl. I told him I am 58 percent sure it's a boy! Ha ha :) Well, one of us has to be right. Can't wait to see which one it is!

Go State!

We have had such a great Labor Day weekend. The Wrights (David, Michelle, and Addison) came to see us all the way from Texas and we had a ball! Addison is three and a half and she is just as cute as can be. We all went to the State game on Saturday, and she was a real trooper! She wasn't sure what to think about the cowbell at first, but by the end she was ringing it like a true Bulldog. :)

Go Dawgs!

Football, Fall, and Growing Feet

Well, friends, the day is almost here. Tomorrow marks the beginning of Bulldog football season, and Kyle is already wearing his maroon. Even Scooter senses the excitement around here, although he will be cheering for the dogs from the comfort of his own bed (which is actually our bed...he is spoiled). Anyway, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kyle's best friend from high school, David, his sweet wife Michelle and their precious daughter Addison. They are flying in tomorrow morning and then we are all heading to Starkville! Oh, and get this...the high tomorrow in Starkville is a lovely 85 degrees. Yes! Fall is on the way. :)

Speaking of fall, it is by far my favorite season and it is almost here! I let myself light a couple of fallish candles this morning because it felt cool outside. Usually, I save those until it is feeling more like fall to make the lighting of my Yankee Harvest candle more special. You just can't light the Harvest candle when it's 103 degrees outside! Anyway, fall will be here before we know it and I am one excited girl. :)

You might be wondering what the Growing Feet title has to do with anything. Well, I knew my tummy would be getting bigger with pregnancy, but I had no idea my feet would grow, too! I have already gone up half a shoe size to a 9 and even those are a little snug. Now, I know the Hermetz toes are quite a sight to behold, but I don't think I can blame this one on my Daddy. :) I've since done a little research, and I am pretty sure it is a pregnancy symptom that I knew nothing about but that many women experience. Anyone else out there know what I am talking about?

Go Dawgs!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day weekend.
