Stamp out Hunger (and clean out your pantry)

Tomorrow, Saturday, May 8th, is a great opportunity to give to your community without much effort at all! Go to your pantry....select a few non-perishable food items, bag em up, and leave them by your mailbox for your letter-carrier to pick up and deliver to your local food bank! That easy!

Our sweet sweet friends had us a going away party Sunday night..... It was a sweet time of fellowship and closure for us that we will never forget. God blessed us so much with a close group here ...it is hard to leave. But, we know that God will continue to be faithful and bless us in this new chapter of our lives!

our current events....

I guess I am going to take a second to blog what is going on with us.....

These pictures are from MeMe and PapPaw's house last week. Let me back up.....our house sold! It was only on the market about 3 weeks.....and it sold! It completely shocked and thrilled us at the same time. For my sweet GA friends.....you know it does not thrill us to leave so soon.....but I mean, if we have to go, we have to go. I didn't want to spend months with Lee gone to MS every other week. So, for that reason, we were thrilled that it sold quickly. I have to say that we also felt like it was good affirmation from God that we are making the right steps. So, we got the contract on our house on a Saturday, and we went to MS that next weekend. These 2 pics are the only ones I took that were worth posting.....It is Will and cousin Emily playing together......and Lee, his dad, and Liza checking out the garden together. We had a great trip home as always......and it was so different leaving to come back to GA this time. I don't think my mom sqeezed me and the babies for 10 minutes like she normally does......she simply hugged my neck quickly and said, "See you in 2 weeks!" : )

Anyway, while there, we found somewhere to rent. It is a cute town-house in Hattiesburg. We close on our house here next Wednesday.....yes in 1 week. We will close the 12th, movers will pack us the 12th and 13th, they will load the truck the 14th, then we will be gone that weekend! I have so many emotions.......

But, true to our style, we are cramming in all we can before we leave. Dinners almost every night with friends, I am hosting a baby shower Monday night, Lee is still playing softball Thursday night, Will is having surgery Wednesday to have tubes put in his ears........yes we will have surgery Wednesday, close, and pack a house all in one day...... We are busy, but I don't think Lee and I could operate any other way......

Boy meets Girl

There is definitely a difference between boys and girls. Or at least between my boy and girl. While I would definitely put Liza in the "wild child" category.....she is no wall flower......she never went to some places Will goes. The first picture shows a permanent blocking of our fire place..... He will be in it in a second flat. He also travels to the unknown.....under tables.....behind furniture......if there is an opening, he chooses the smallest and darkest to explore. Liza could get into anything.....but she always stayed out in the open......Will gets into anything where he thinks I can't see! : )

I love the middle picture of Will "cooking." Maybe he will take after his uncle Matthew and be a gourmet chef! : )

The last picture is just one of those silly times of Liza being all girl......liza found her bag of old bows and insisted to have them all in her hair.....I chose to put them in a head-band style......Lee actually thought I bought a new head-band (seriously???).....it was quite a terrifying look that we sported all day.....yes even out to run errands. It made her happy. I am just glad she has never thought about it again. : )

the sweetest thing.....

Too many pictures.....too little time!!! I am playing catch up on my blogging today......


These sweet pictures captured a moment I stumbled upon.....these are the moments that make being a mommy the absolute best thing the in whole wide world....






Two little bottoms playing on the steps and reading books together.....

you are jealous.....don't lie.....

After her bedtime bath, Liza escaped from her daddy to go looking for mommy and Will.....which turned into a completely naked jam session with my i pod. Really.....wouldn't we all like to be free enough to dance naked???? hahahah......
