Where has the time gone???

OK, so I have been the biggest blog slacker EVER!!! I can't believe 2 months has gone by since my last post, but there has been A LOT going on since then. Once the holidays start rolling around, it's hard to find time to sit for 5 minutes.

Well, at the end of October, my mom & I went to the Delta to have the kids' hand prints made at Red Leaf Pottery. First, we stopped in Indianola to eat at The Crown restaurant with one of my VERY best friends, Angela. It was FABULOUS!!! I can't believe in the 24 years that I lived in Leland I never ate there. Boy, was I missing out!!



After eating, we visited with some old friends before heading to Red Leaf for the hand prints. Peyton & Rebecca Potter, the owners, do such AMAZING work. They have anything & everything you can think of as far as pottery goes. I'm so excited to see how they turned out. My mom & I are making another trip to the Delta this Friday to pick them up & to meet friends at The Crown for lunch (I'm hooked).

The first weekend in November, we decided to take a little vacation at the last minute. Hamp was ready for some "time off" from work and I was too, of course. So we packed up the kids and headed to Orange Beach for a long weekend. We normally go in April & again around September, but so much had been going on and there was never a good time to go. It was a little chilly and it rained on Friday, but we had a ball shopping in Foley and we mainly stayed in the heated indoor pool the rest of the time.












And so another Thanksgiving has come & gone :( My sister & her family came in on Wednesday and stayed through Friday. Reid & Lily had a blast playing with Anna Grace & Walker. Anna Grace was such a BIG help with Lily...she's going to be a great babysitter when she's older!! Reid & Walker played 90 to nothing the whole time they were together. Thursday, my brother and sister-in-law, Breisch & Angie, came to my parents house so we could all be together for Thanksgiving. This year we decided to take the family picture BEFORE eating, that way we weren't full & tired.




We are so thankful for ALL that God has blessed us with!! HE is so good!!!
