The Queen

Nannie meeting Whityn
Me and MY NANNIE
My nannie (who I call the QUEEN..it's our little joke..because she is from Liverpool and she's the queen by all means!!!.. Our nannie is a knitting machine...she has been knitting since she was a child and she is really amazing at it. To date she has knitted Whityn 5 sweaters, 4 pairs of booties, 2 hats and 2 blankets (see my favorite sweater below).....She is also brilliant at needlepoint (I have 2 hanging in my house *one is mine and Jordy's name for a marriage gift and the other is of Windsor castle in Enlgand) , cards (she taught me to play Old Maid and Rummi), crossword puzzles, jeopardy (she plays the tv and wins), and dressing to the nines. My nannie is a traveler too. She has been everywhere from the land down under to on a cruise ship in Alaska. She took my brother and I to her homeland while we were both in college and it was the trip of a lifetime....She recently met her first great grandson and was smitten kitten for sure. It was worth the 3000 miles to see the smile on her face while holding him. I am so excited to share him with her and when he grows up...to share "my nannie" with him....cause she's somethin I tell yah!!!!



My favorite (Organic cotton knitted with love by Nannie)
Doesn't he just look cozy?

22 days left

My maternity leave has been amazing, fun, crazy, nerve-racking, exciting, unbelievable...all at the same time. I will never again be able to have this time with Whityn (well, except for summer hehe)! I am really enjoying myself and my baby! I like to think of myself as a lady of leisure....see the following!


Tuesday afternoon Yoga with Deb....NOTE: Whit is asleep in front of me!
A close-up of those killer lips!
Here we all are...enjoying mommyhood and sun salutes!

Fun photos from bama

Brother and sister
I love my pops!
Ole BJ got hitched!!!!
Every time I see Raven...we pick right up where we left off. I miss you girl!
Kane and his new cutie!
Can you believe I met a girl taller than me?
Who knows what they are doing?
Whole lotta love!
My bro bought a new pad..I went to check it out. I am so proud of him!!!!
Our last night in Bama...my parents begged us to babysit....and we took advantage of it. We drove to meet some friends for dinner and drinks. Good times!

Children of the corn

sometimes when jord and I get together (like all the time) we do some funny things...like a photo shootout with candycorns. We took tons..but kept it simple not to bore you.
I love canycorns.
I can't see you..I have corns in my eyes.
Corn fangs
Hey, even Special K joined in the fun from Alabama.

Alabama adventures in random order

I got some new digs while in Alabama and they dressed me up and carried me to the pumpkin patch.
we're smiling..but it's 90 degrees mind you and my mommy was sweating all over me.
My Nonna could barely take her hands off me. She had all sorts of advice for my mommy too.
I got my feet kissed.....by a beautiful woman named Raven...she is my mom's best bud. She loved my feet.

I was the CENTER of attention!
I met my cuz JOSHUA...he wanted to know what I could do....he kept asking my mom "does he talk, does he walk, well, since he doesn't do anything...can I hold him?" 
I did some serious relaxing while there.
I got to meet Uncle Kane's girlfriend Kristina...boy was she cute and she knew just how to talk to me. I am a fan for sure!
I got to meet my mom's brother...Uncle Kane! 
I think I will call him Special K!
I slept through a wedding.
OKay, I opened my eyes once or twice.
I had this lady right where I wanted her!!!!! hehe
My mommy and daddy had a fun night too.
I met my great grandma, but I call her Nana so that it doesn't confuse anyone! She is from Liverpool, England but lives in Alabama. It makes for an interesting accent. I loved her hair the most and her sweet smelling snuggles. 



3 planes to get there and 2 long car rides but i made it in one piece to be reunited with my grandparents...
