a few updates...

just a quick update about our little world..

• i made a deal with terry that addison could wear her roll tide outfit for the next two weeks if she could wear her georgia outfit on september 22nd - the uga vs bama game! (pretty go deal, huh steph?)


• i went back to work this past week and it was awful! at least shug was here to keep little miss...thanks shug! we love you and miss you!


• friday morning was bad, very bad. the only saving grace was that it was friday!


• addison starts daycare tomorrow. you would think she was leaving for camp for a month...i bought one of everything at wal-mart today. always be prepared!
  
• just found out two seconds ago that my neighbor is having a trunk show for children's clothing called doo-dads and designs (http://www.doo-dadsanddesigns.com/) on september 18th. anyone is more than welcome...just come to my house and we can walk next door together (robyn that definitely means you!). Oh, and GRANDPARENTS please feel free to buy addison a fun little oufit. they take visa over the phone :)


• all baby/kids clothes at old navy are 25% off this week...make sure to take advantage, we sure did!


• georgia lost last night...but so did auburn and for some reason that makes the loss more bearable.


• terry's football team won last friday. he says he is finally confident enough to pursue a head coaching job...finally! i am so proud of him.


• we still haven't sold my land rover. the price just keeps getting better and better...$14,000, 76k miles, new brakes, excellant condition, leather seats, 5 disc cd changer...great car!!!!!


• one of my projects, the new football stadium and fieldhouse for birmingham southern college, just finished up this week. when i walked in last thursday i was so pleased with my work. really pleased. i will post pictures soon.


• i have another project finishing up this fall. it is an environmental science and education center for 4-h located in columbiana, al. it is the first leed certified (green) building in the state and a huge deal for our firm...and for me as the designer. i can't wait to show you all more. it makes me proud to do what i do.
  
• brooke took addison's 3 month pictures last weekend. below are just a couple she has worked on. she is so talented...truly talented. she even stepped in a fire ant bed and got bitten but kept on going...i mean, that is dedication! book her now for the holidy season! http://www.brookejaredphotography.com/.

little dawg

this picture was taken by aunt brooksie when addison was just a few days old and i am happy to report that the shirt still fits! that's amazing given the amount she has grown the past three months. but don't worry bama fans, she had the roll tide photo session soon after this georgia one...much to my dismay. so, we are three days from the big kick off to sec football and i have to admit living in alabama this year is even more obnoxious than ever. i went to costco today and just browsing through i heard THREE different conversations about "nick saban's first game" and "this is bama's year" and "watch out tommy, here we come"...yuck, yuck and yuck. don't fear, my terry is right there with them. so yes, bear bryant has come back from the dead in the body of nick saban to kick off the game at 6:oo central. does anyone see the dilemma?!?! yes, that's right, georgia kicks off at 5:45 central...what oh what will miss addison wear? will it be red and black or crimson and white? i am afraid little miss has two very stubborn and very proud parents that support their teams to an ungoldly level. it will take more than "pick a number" or "rock, paper, scissors" to determine the winner. i know to some this may seem quite trivial, but i am a lone georgia fan in this crazy state and i refuse to become one of them - them being alabama or auburn. so, in order to be true to my alma mater, i must fight for my daughters right to wear the red and black...to yell "go dawgs, sic 'em"...to know who the legendary larry munson is...to learn the art of true tailgaiting...and most of all, prepare to be a future georgia alumnus.

GO DAWGS!!!

happy birthday again!!!

happy birthday!

addison wanted to wish you a happy birthday from all of us! we love you josh!!!

uugghhhh

i am sooooo technologically challenged!!! i have spent addison's entire nap time changing my blog to make it look half as cool as my sister's and this is my limit. it don't know what took longer: playing with the colors or picking songs for you to enjoy...either way my brain is fried!!! all this to say, i hope you enjoy it because it is going to look like this for a looooonnnnngggg time.

AND not only do you get to enjoy a redesigned blog, i am going to post TWO blogs today. yes, that is right, TWO! ok, i gotta go and work on the next blog.

mommy thoughts and what-nots

• dropping in cvs for a quick coke is no longer dropping in cvs for a quick coke - is it bad that i actually think it might be ok to do this with addison still in the car?
  
• i was so tired today from running errands that i seriously forgot to strap addison into the carseat - now i know that is bad. i seriously had no idea why her head kept bobbing like it was.
  
• terry, i repeat terry let addison play humpty dumpty last week...and yes, she had a great fall.


• tonight she had an unfortunate accident that involved formula and her nose - that can't be good. needless-to-say, she didn't get any more formula after that episode.


• please don't call dhr on me. i am just a first time mom, cut me some slack.


• my mom says that being called "spoiled rotten" is a term of endearment...i don't see it.


• did i mention i went to work today? i am still on maternity leave people! and i worked. today. for two hours. ugghhhh.


• i constantly stress over addison's poops. today was a rough one. it was rough watching her struggle through it and it was rough changing it. rough.


• henry-dog is very jealous. so jealous in fact that when i am playing with addison and am not showing him any attention he prances into our bedroom and PEES on my side of the bed. not terry's side, MY SIDE!
  
• anybody out there want to have a wine and cheese play date? how do you stay at home mom's make it without one?!?!?
  
• addison's smile has got to be the best thing god has ever created...i love it!


• terry left for work at 7:15 this morning and got home at 10. can you hear my frustration. i miss him. it's ok, i will see him again in december, november if i am lucky.
