And what a week it was...

A week's gone by since the last post - shocker, I know, ha ha! And because soooo many wonderful and crazy things happened in this last week, I thought I'd hit a highlight of the top 5...or maybe 11...

NUMBER ONE
Quote: The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this.
Activity: Unloading all of Barbara's maternity clothes on someone that is much in need because we will be welcoming a new little niece or nephew into our family next year! Congrats again to Heather and her crew! Love yall!

NUMBER TWO
Quote: People who love sausage and people who believe in justice should never watch either of them being made.
Activity: Barbara prosecuting speeders in the big Hatch of south Alabama...and a huge shout out to Aunt Jerry and Justin for helping me be able to go and not worry about daughters! Thanks and much love!

NUMBER THREE
Quote: Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?
Activity: Saying goodbye to a family icon.

NUMBER FOUR
Quote: There is always one moment in childhood where the door opens and lets the future in.

Activity: One of Abby's BFFs has started hanging out with us at our home on Wednesdays...she came this past week and the two of them tackled everything from painting, playing, running outside, dress up, doll weddings, movies, and most of all - TONS of laughing!

NUMBER FIVE
Quote: The heart has reasons that reason does not understand.
Activity: A scare with a heart condition by one of our closest loved ones...we are still keeping him in our thoughts and prayers - and there's nothing sweeter than hearing your 3 1/2 year old ask to call this person (while they are still in the hospital) to tell him that she loves him and is sorry his heart hurts.

NUMBER SIX
Quote: Sports is the toy department for human life.
Activity: 63-7....speaks for itself.

NUMBER SEVEN
Quote: Gobble til you wobble.
Activity: Sitting with the twins while watching Abby perform at her school's Thanksgiving Program. And eating the feast afterward - should I have chosen the sweet potato pie or the salad? (Wink, wink!)

NUMBER EIGHT
Quote: Would you like some cheese with your whine?
Activity: Having the most fun at an adult only party where one of our own turned the big 4-0! Happy Birthday dear friend, we love you!

NUMBER NINE
Quote: Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Activity: Abby's 1st official real-deal pedicure and manicure...for her, it was love at first sight and feel!

NUMBER TEN
Quote: Let's not just go to church, let's be the church.
Activity: Another gorgeous morning and evening at Providence Baptist Church!

NUMBER ELEVEN
Quote: Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.
Activity: Having three of the most fun relatives come over for a Sunday afternoon visit that had Eric and Barbara laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes! What a great day - love to all of you!
