Some Picture Sarah took Last Sunday

Well I realized I did not tell the story behind the pic with Lilly Gayle asleep in her high chair. She fell asleep in there one night eating her dinner, grilled cheese. She proceeded to sleep for 30 mins, after which she woke up and smiling, decided to eat the rest of her grilled cheese!
She is pulling up and letting go momentarily of furniture. Yesterday she took her first step. She actually let go of the bench she was holding on to and took a step to Grace! It was so cool and I just happened to be there to see, which I was so excited about. Well that is about all...no news is good news, I guess!

new pictures!

BACK FROM VACATION

Wheww.....we are back from a fabulous vacation. We just spent 9 days on Virgin GOrda in the British Virgin Islands with my family. It was so fun and relaxing. We had a villa on the beach with our own pool and we rented two 30-ft boats and went all over the Virgin Islands. It was so fun!!! Here are some pictures from the trip:

New Pictures!

First Tooth

Well yesterday afternoon, Jason and I saw our first glimpse of Pearly White. Yes, Lilly Gayle has a little white sharp nub sticking out from her bottom gum. I am not surprised as she has been spitting and drooling non-stop for about a week now and 3 weeks ago, she had 4 days of fussing and temperature, leading me to believe that she would get teeth soon! So there it is! Of course we picked her up and danced around the room singing "Lilly Gayle got a tooth!" She thought it was hilarious of course. The funny thing is that before I had her, if someone had said to me "Oh, Little Johnny got his first tooth!" I would have rolled my eyes, like "Who cares?" But now i realize what a big deal that is and I am sooo excited in all the developmental happenings of all my friends kids now. So that is the news in our neck of the woods!

TRAVELING DOG!

OK----SHOCKING STORY!

YESTERDAY MY MOM CALLED ME AT 2 SAYING SHE HAD HEARD ON THE Q105.3 PET PATROL THAT A WHITE DOG WITH BROWN SPOTS HAD BEEN FOUND ON 54TH AND REYNOLDS. SO I CALLED THE RADIO STATION AND THEY GAVE ME THE GUY'S PHONE #. WELL I CALLED HIM AND I ASKED IF IT WAS A JACK RUSSELL AND HE SAID HE DID NOT THINK SO BECAUSE HE HAD LONG HAIR AND WEIGHED ABOUT 20 LBS. I SAID THAT IS MY DOG!! IT HAS TO BE!! LET ME COME RIGHT OVER AND SEE IF IT IS HIM. WELL THE GUY SAID "WELL THAT IS THE PROBLEM B/C MY FRIEND TOOK HIM BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA WITH HIM TO FORT BRAGG ON SUNDAY." SO I WAS FLIPPING OUT. I CALLED HIS FRIEND AND SENT HIM AN EMAIL PIC OF DUKE AND HE SAID IT WAS MOST DEFINETLY HIM. SO THE GUY SAYS WE HAVE TO MEET HIM IN SANTEE, SC, WHICH IS HALFWAY, TO GET DUKE BACK. SO LAST NIGHT, ME, JAS, AND LILLY GAYLE DROVE THERE TO GET DUKE. WE PULL UP TO THE SANTEE CRACKER BARRELL AND THERE IS DUKE WEARING A NAME TAG ON HIS BRAND-NEW COLLAR THAT SAYS "BAXTER" ON IT AND THE GUY HANDS ME A LIST OF ALL THE VACCINATIONS HE GOT HIM AND 3 BAGS OF BRAND-NEW DOG TOYS!!!! IT WAS CRAZY!! SO DUKE IS BACK AND HE MAY THINK HIS NAME IS BAXTER NOW, WHO KNOWS BUT I JUST THOUGHT I HAD TO SHARE THIS FUNNY STORY WITH ALL OF YOU!

DUKE IS LOST!!!!!!!!

Well, we have had a sad weekend. Duke is lost. He escaped from the kennel and the yard Friday night during the Sand Gnats game (baseball) fireworks. We have no idea where he is and so far have exhausted all measures to find him. We have an ad in the pennysaver, savannah morning news, as well as have checked the humane society and Sanitation Department (picksup deceased animals). We just are hoping that he will come home.....COME HOME, DUKE!! WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Jason's Basketball Team!

I am so proud of the impact jason has made already on the boys on his basketball team and at Windsor Forest. I am enclosing excerpts from an email sent by his Assistant Principal about Jason's team. It is so great that he is getting so much support from his school; the administrators really respect him.

" I need your help! Please take my request to heart…

I am working with Coach Helton and the Boys Basketball Team in an effort to raise money and support for this group of student athletes. I need your help in identifying area businesses or individuals who would be willing to offer needed support. I will be actively seeking donations to support the basketball program here at WFHS.
The students on our boys’ basketball team this year had an average GPA of 83.2! These student athletes perform in the classroom as well as on the court. For many, the involvement in, and discipline of, a structured athletic team helps them to maintain a strong academic focus. Coach Helton has done an excellent job of beginning a truly structured and motivated team.

All of our students and student athletes are important, but this group needs some extra attention – they need new uniforms and shoes, and the athletic budget simply cannot support this effectively.

I appreciate you letting me know of anyone who might consider this."

Ok another one of my favorite pics. This was taken by my friend Sarah who is a photographer. She is so awesome, she has her own business and has a website, www.sarahbuckphotography.com. She took this photo at Lilly Gayle's friend Greer Hollis' first Birthday Party!!

Well this is one of my absolute favorite pics of Lilly Gayle. This was taken by me in her room the first week of March!! I love it, she is so serious all the time and this picture shows that.

Blogging Begins!

Ok, I have been sucked in.....I have started a blog.....IN ALL MY SPARE TIME! I have received blog info from three friends now and have enjoyed looking at theirs so here I am. Jason does not know I am doing this yet, but hopefully he won't mind. Mostly I will update everyone on Lilly Gayle. The biggest news now is that she is rolling over, eating baby food, and sitting up on her own for a few seconds at a time.
