THIS BIG BOY IS GROWING OUT OF HIS CLOTHES!!

Josiah is growing up soooooo fast!!  He is not only out of newborn and 3 month clothes, he is cooing and smiling and trying so hard to tell us something.  We just love him!!

OMG!! Our Little Entrepreneur Is Working Overtime!!

Since her Etsy shop opened after the looonnnnggg holiday break, she is selling these new chalkboards like hotcakes!

LOVE NOTES:

Dear Magnolia Bakery: I miss you!  Can't wait to see you in NYC in June!

Dear Tony: Thanks for still opening the car door for me after 27 years, even if you have to run to get there before me!

Dear Brooke: Thank you for art, all kinds.  You are always a sure-thing to go to Dance Alabama or any other show.  Not to mention the great works of art you produce.  How do you dream it up?

Dear Sommer and Jon:  Thank you for Josiah, and making ways for us to soak him up.  He is positively the sunshine of my days

Dear Snow:  Thanks for showing up last week just long enough for us to enjoy our loved ones with you, but going away soon enough for us to go on our Valentine dates.

Dear Yard: Thanks for your patience while I've neglected you. I promise to make you pretty again soon.

Dear Krispy Kreme: Why do you shout "Hot Now" at me when I drive by?   It's so hard!

Dear DVR:  Thanks for changing my life.  I never have to miss a program, PLUS, I never have to watch commercials!

Dear Camera:  Thanks for helping me preserve all the precious times with my sweet, sweet family and friends!

Dear Spring:  Thanks for being faithful.  I've seen 46 of you, and I know you will come this year too! (Even though that dang groundhog DID see his shadow)

Love, Terri

SUCH A LOVABLE VALENTINE'S WEEKEND

SIPS AND STROKES DATE

AFTER A FEW MISTAKES, BAMA BEAT ARKANSAS!

SENT THE GIRLS SINGING VALENTINES

JOSIAH WORE HIS "LOVE IS THE GREATEST" OVERALLS

SNOW "BLIZZARD" 2010!!!

Listen to my words and be on your guard for "Snowmageddon" cometh unto Alabama in the wee hours of night....He that goeth unto all the supermarkets and buyeth all the bread and milk is foolish...for man doth not live on milk and bread alone...instead go ye and buy multi-colored and flavored syrups and paper cone cups so that ye might make sno-cones...

We heeded the good advice of our old friend Jamie Joiner, we have no milk!

A few more LOVE pics: SPECIAL GUEST: THE KING - ELVIS PRESLEY!!!

YOUNG ELVIS AND OLD ELVIS

Hunka Hunka Burnin' Love

Boy does Mom know how to throw a theme party! She threw a Valentine's Elvis party this last weekend and it was rockin'.

Mom, you probably have better pics, but here are some of mine:

All of us posing as Elvis and Priscilla. It's pretty lifelike, I think.

We had some delicious old fashioned malts.

I was impressed with Mom's knowledge of Elvis lyrics!

and with Dad's Elvis-like moves!

Thanks Mom. Elvis may be the king of rock and roll, but you are definitely the queen of fun parties!

We LOVE love!

Couldn't wait to make Valentine's cookies, so we started at this week's Girl Time

And of course,  we had to dress up our "good sport" like a Cupid

Watch out! He WILL steal your heart!!

FIVE GENERATIONS - PART DEUX!!

BIRTHWEEK FESTIVITIES

Josiah gets clean diaper by Auntie and Unc before the cutting of the cake

Cake by Sommer

Lunch by Mom

The meal was Italian, but still included sweet tea and Fried Chicken, as any vintage Southern woman would never show up at a meal without bringing a dish.  My grandmother had to stop at KFC on the way from her Assisted Living apartment to pick up fried chicken!!  Miss Independent!

Josiah was peeking as Uncle Grant said the sweet blessing

Checking out old pics of mom.  She's pretty

This meal ended with a few Birthday High Fives!!
