Papa do list and food and fun

While we were in Atlanta I got to go to the doctor with Andrew and Taylor.  I got to hear Mr Precious' heartbeat.  I just cried.

We went to a Jerusalem bakery and had lunch one day.  Here is our humus and falafel.  I had a chicken shawarma wrap.  It was all really good.  What is so funny about us eating here is that Andrew picked it out and when he was growing up he was the pickiest eater know to man.  He ate a hamburger wherever we went and now he loves to eat all manner of food.  Sometimes I have to say to him that I need to eat something normal!!!!  My how our roles have changed.

High on Carl's list was painting two room.

This room required three coats of primer plus a few holes filled in too.

This is the largest cookie sheet I have ever seen.  The previous owners left it with the house because it fits in the stove.

More priming

and still more

Here is one of Andrew's top 3 desserts.  We celebrated New Year's Eve here.

Here is my artistic photo for Kaitlin of their back deck.

We watched lots of football.

We played Phase 10.  I hope we can get this game soon.  I loved it.  I was winning when we stopped.      

Confetti and boys and family

 This fun group gathered in Birmingham on October 11 to find out if Andrew and Taylor were having a little Carl or a little Ellen aka a boy or a girl.  This party was set to be at JenniferB's house and we were so sad when her health would not allow that to happen. Blessings upon Alicia and William for opening up their home for this party/celebration/family get together at the last minute!

 The reveal was done with a confetti cannon.

 They were loud!!!!

 They were filled with plenty of confetti!

 And I mean lots!!!!  It went everywhere.  When we got home I found some in my suitcase!!!

My nick name for this baby is Mr Precious!  Both sets of his grandparents were there for this celebration. We are looking forward to meeting him in February!!!!

Good Time, Party Time- headed to Savannah Time!

 Carl, Kaitlin and I got up early one Sunday and headed to Savannah to see Andrew and Taylor.  I can't make the 14 hour trip in one day so we try to pick a new spot to stay with every trip.

We got to go through AUBURN on this trip.  I love AUBURN.  I even have it on my retirement list for Carl and I to spend a month there.  Not sure if I want to spend a month there during football season or maybe basketball/baseball season.  I love planning!

 We got to see the new statues of the Heisman winners!

 We saw lots of folks trying to take down the statue of Cam.  It made us laugh.

I have this handy dandy feature on my camera that takes 3 shots in a row with the self timer.  Usually we take the first one 'normal'- well, normal for us, then we go for a little personality!  Carl didn't get the memo about what we do on shots two and three.  He was holding his phone loosely and after the first shot, well, the phone went flying with our enthusiasm. Here is Carl trying to locate the phone.  Phone is fine, just for the record! 

 Usually we wave at Uncle John when we get to Toomer's Corner.  They have a web cam here.  Since he was busy we took a picture for him.  We all waved as we took the picture, good thing not a lot of folks were around!

I believe in AUBURN and I love it.

Tomorrow Savannah...
