Mother's Day

I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day. Mine was good and eventful too. First, we dedicated Mary Audrey at church on Mother's day. That was very special and she was so good (see picture below.) However, that does not come without a some hiccups. As you can see below in our picture, John is decked out, thanks to Mr. Sammie at Smith & Byars, but I am in the usual clothes. I went dress shopping at Belk on Saturday and found a cute dress (actually 2) to wear on Sunday, a) because it was Mother's Day and b) because MA was being dedicated and we would be in front of the church. So ... i was so excited because of my new dress and matching shoes. Well ... I got to put the dress on and what do I find????? The stupid security tag was still on the dress. How did we get out of the dern store with the security tags on both dresses????????????? HELLO!

Anyways, I finally got over that and moved on. What can you do ... Nothing. So ... I just relaxed the rest of the day, spent time with MA and my mom. We three did go to the hospital to visit our friends Betsey & Lydia. They both had given birth to their children ... Betsey had twins, Kaylie & Addie last Thursday and Lydia had Reed on Sunday. Both were doing fine and babies too. :)

I took MA to school Friday and this is what I received. Isn't it precious??

Here is the flower behind the sign.

Here are all the flowers I received for Mother's Day. Mary Audrey sent me the tall Gerber Daisy to work on Friday. I wonder how she got her Daddy's debit card?? And the roses are compliments of Belk ... for being a big contributor to our economy!

I think we are a "pretty" family. We clean up real nice.

I can't resist the fangs. MA has gotten her top eye teeth in first instead of the middle ones. She is so adorable. (BTW, she does have her two bottom teeth but she didn't want to show those.)

And look what is blooming in our front yard? I usually have to wait until June for my first Magnolia bloom but I didn't have to wait this year. They are so gorgeous and fragrant.
