Girlfriends mean so much.

There are 11 of us girls that have known each other since Junior High. Some of us go back even longer than that...up to 31 years!

We still get together on a regular basis. I am so blessed to have these wonderful women in my life and know that they are my true friends through thick and thin.
I hope that others in this world have bonds like we do. I know that in my happiest times and worst of times, these women have helped make me into the woman I am today...friend, wife, mama, sister, daughter, child of God.

What would I have done without each and every one of you? I love you, ladies. I'm proud to call each of you my friend.

Kelly & Autumn couldn't be at our get together last night...we missed you!

How cute!

John snapped this picture this morning when he dropped Emalyn off at school. She had her milk and juice and joined her buddy Tate on the couch for a few minutes of TV watching before breakfast. They only get 30 minutes of TV time per day, so she doesn't waste any time in the mornings getting settled to get in a little Wiggles or Mickey Mouse watching!

Using My Words Wisely

So, there is this little shadow that follows me around and lately she has began mimicking me. "Blah, blah, blah" and "I told you" are some of the words I am hearing being said to me these days. Although she says it soooo very sweetly and in her darlin' southern drawl, I know she is learning from me. I guess I need to make sure that those 4-letter-word slips are a thing of the past...I sure don't want her repeating those!
