catching up

last week webb and i cruised through chatty to catch up with some folks we hadn't seen in a while.

the first and most important being nannie jo! ... that's my dad's mom.
webb thought she was so funny.
she kept acting like she was drinking out of his sippy cup
... or zippy cup, as my dad once called it :)

we met carter and frannie for my favorite ... clumpies ice cream!
carter is something else. an absolute doll!!
my favorite thing about him, besides those rosy red cheeks, is that he loves to clean!
talk about a total bonus!

i took webb to our old neighborhood park ... just down from mississippi avenue.

first time down the slide ... he wasn't a fan.

we made a quick pit stop to the pool with daddy mike
dreaming of walking ...

on our way back to home, we stopped by to see nat and mac before they left for college.

i babysat these girls over 10 years ago. can't believe they are all grown up!!

... sorry alice!

i'm on a boat

this past weekend we went to chattanooga for a good friends wedding. on our way back to nashville we stopped by my uncle's river house so we could see my grandfather. you can access the house by car or boat. boat is definitely the easiest. so ... webb went on his first boat ride!

since we are law abiding citizens, he had to wear a life jacket. this was the smallest they had, and he wasn't too happy about it! but he did like the ride.

recovered

i think i've finally recovered from last weekend. and, i'm not talking about this past weekend ... i'm talking about the weekend before that. what a weekend it was.

before leaving nashville for my high school reunion, which i had been anxiously awaiting, i found out that my me-me went home to be with the lord. it was a long weekend in chattanooga.

the high school reunion was so much better than i could have ever imagined. i was surprised by how many people from our class didn't show. it made me question why i was there, but i'm so glad i went! here are a few pics from the night.

april, me, and ericka

(april and i have known each other since elementary and ericka and i danced in terpsichord together ... you know how much i loved my terpsichord days!)

those that came ... i'm in the front row

so that was saturday, then sunday was me-me's visitation and monday was the funeral. it definitely brought back lots of old emotions. i couldn't have done it without casey, reg and al, and dad and mitsy. webb was wearing me down. and to think i thought it was because he had gotten spoiled ... i took him to the doctor when we got back to nashville and he had an ear infection. poor little guy! i told him i was sorry.

so that is what i was doing last week ... recovering. i was emotionally spent by the time we got back home.

thanks for your prayers!
