homegrown, a baby boy bbq shower, marty jumps out of a perfectly fine plane & mrs. c

Hi all! Check out the tomatoes and okra, these came out of Grandma's garden. YUM! The tomatoes have been in lots of meals and Matt made the okra the other night - it was delicious.

So, here I am at week 35 - gulp. I am now on orders to "take it easy." That means I basically have to stay off my feet (with them up) and have Matt be my own personal butler. He is, as always, awesome - but I am pretty bored and feel like a BUM. Oh well, I will have plenty of opportunities to help out once baby boy arrives.

Anywho...Carrie, Patterson, Megan and Shon threw a BBQ Baby Shower for us over the weekend - it was GREAT! The food (um, enough to feed an army) was excellent, the flowers (by Mary Ann) were gorgeous and a great time was had by all. We also came home with a carload of baby gifts. Here are some photos for you to enjoy...

Earlier I mentioned that Marty was going to jump out of a plane - WELL HE DID. What a nut. I stole these photos from his crackbook page.

superman

he made it! he made it!

i think this photo must be marty coming in for his landing

Alrighty, I am about to run out to pick up baby girl from school. This morning she walked into church on her "tippy toes" - just like a balrina. She is too fun, we love her bunches.

PS - I meant to post a photo on this earlier BUT the one I had was not so good. Lottie Sue had MAJOR stink eye and I was waiting on Carrie to post about it. To my disappointment, Lottie Sue had the stink eye in her photo as well. Oh well, can't win them all...

Carrie's mom was in town last month, all the way from Vegas and we had lunch together. Mrs. Conyngham is an avid reader of our blog and it was GREAT meeting her. She had a gift for Miss Thang, thecutestdressyou'veeverseen - a photo is coming. Thank you again Mrs. C!

our meet and greet

Alrighty, toodles!
