Visit to Nashville


Aren't my babies pretty? Inside and out!

We went to Nashville over Valentine's weekend. It was a whirlwind of activity starting with going to CPA to show off Colton, a shower for Anna-Ruth with all my girls along, picture appointment for Colton at Calverts (keeping the tradition alive!), lunch at Carl's Perfect Pig where a waist is a terrible thing to mind (The Catfish Kitchen was closed.), the Fabulous Five Valentine's Party, a lunch for 34 at Nanny's, babysitting Colton while Ross and Lindsay went to dinner, and in the meantime just hanging out with Robert, Charissa, Grace, Ross, Lindsay, Colton. It was such a blessing for all of us to be together. It was really the first time since we went to Orlando last January, 2008, and did Universal. We didn't have Colton then! Well, I guess we did but we didn't know it!


Eating my cereal with a little help from a puppet distraction. This is so familiar! Ross was the same way! His puppet was Fozzie Bear!


Robert and Charissa waiting patiently in the "Party Room" of the Pig!


The sweetest face in the world!


Jennifer watches in horror as Lindsay misbehaves at the Pig.



All of us after lunch at Carl's Perfect Pig full of barbecue, ribs, catfish and hushpuppies!


Uncle Bobby's arm tastes good!

Aunt Grace and I are happy to be together!


I love peek-a-boo!


Hanging with my cool cousin Isaac. Somehow he likes to play ball!


With Nanny in the den...probably for the last time since Nanny's moving!


Grandy is so fun to play with!

Maybe I'll do the longer 25 things sometime, but for now...

A couple of pictures here and one at the end! No pun intended!

Happy Colton about to embark on a diet of rice cereal!



I think I like it!
