happy wednesday

henry feels left out of the blog world. poor guy. i think the real emotions come from feeling left out of the tingle world. when leaving the house the other morning, the hubs and addison were still snoozing away. not henry. sweet, gentlemanly henry kept me company and walked me to the door. he just looked so handsome with his new "do" that i had to snap a quick pic.

happy wednesday handsome henry. we still love you.

time flies

i had a check up today and upon leaving the nurse said "ok, we will see you in 2 weeks." my response was "wwwhhhhaaattt??? already???"

amazing how this pregnancy has literally flown by. and already at appointments every 2 weeks. nuts. but, i am not amazed that my excitement is growing everyday. i cannot wait to meet riley. to find out if terry will get his boy or if i will get another bow-headed, dress-up playing, little miss #2. i have informed dr. ingram i want a loud and boisterous "It's a - - - ". so fun.

addison is pretty excited as well. she sings to riley and talks to riley...mostly saying "riley, you get out so mommy can jump with me" or "riley, you get out of there so mommy can swing with me." or sometimes she just looks right at me and says "wow, mom, you're getting bigger and bigger." nice. gotta love the honesty.

tomorrow marks the end of june which means the end of deadline #2 - completion of addison's room. let's just say i have always hated deadlines. but we are almost finished and i cannot wait to show you. (p.s. don't ask about deadline #1 - still working on that too - haha!)

all for now. nite nite.

in case you were wondering...

weather woman addison says it is going to snow tomorrow. i wish.

a little nostalgia

birmingham is my home but macon...macon, ga...middle georgia...it is my home. you know?

apparently tonight on the cma's jamey jonhnson sang his song "macon"...and it made me smile.

yeah it is small. yeah most people i know live on the north side. yeah the many private schools and their stereotypes and rivalries seems to rule the town. and yeah, i didn't go back. but i still love that place.

there is nu-way hotdogs. yum.

the cherry blossom festival. big deal people. huge.

the allman brothers band. classic.

the macon whoopees. man did mere love her some of those hockey hunks.

elliott farms. good pickin' for some berries.

fpd. tattnall. stratford. mt desales. the mighty four private schools.

the georgia state fair. in the good 'ole days every school got a day off called "fair day". nice.

we cannot forget marc ballard. dear family friend spending his days trying to rival paula deen.

forsyth, bass, zebulon, ingelside, northside, riverside. roads i know by heart.

and craddock way. sweet craddock way. with house after house. my sister and i can still drive the neighborhood naming the families that made each house a home. we remember the big hill where we sledded during the huge snow storm...or where brooke busted her a-sugar-sugar on her bike. there was caroling during christmas and cookouts and candy for halloween. and i can still hear my mom say "if you don't straighten up, i'm gonna knock you down craddock way." haha. and i am not kidding y'all, everyone lived there. the smiths. the gays. the joyners. the walkers. the gudenraths. the dunwoodys. the kaplans. the crabtrees. the powells. the terrells. i could go on and on. but i won't.

sweet 'ole macon. good times. good song. if you like that twangy, sappy, country type.
