Last night, my mom and I went to see a local band perform to benefit our local humane society. A man from our church who plays the saxaphone has headed up this band for about 20 years. A good friend of ours, Stephanie, also sings with the band. Fun was had by all in the room...dancing, singing, eating. It was great.
Macy has gotten in the habit of getting in the bed with us around 5:00 every morning. We never wanted our children to sleep in the bed with us, but we really don't mind when she comes in and snuggles for the rest of the morning. This morning, however, was different. I thought it was strange that she wasn't in the bed when I woke up. I guess she didn't want to bother us...
Macy absolutely cracks us up most of the time. Saturday night was one of those times. Macy decided to sleep with Brian (she stayed with her Ninnie and Grandaddy the first three nights). I was just about to turn the light off and I hear (with her finger pointing as well): "I told you to hush, now get into time out." Macy was telling her bunny all of this. So, I guess she really does hear me!! She just obeys as well as Bunny does!!
Macy is definitely a beach girl. She could stay out all day if we would let her.
That evening we went to the mall and of course, Macy had to ride the car. She loves these rides anywhere we go.
One of the reasons we chose Savannah was that my mother-in-law absolutely loves Paula Dean and this is where she lives, works and shops. So, we took the "Savannah, Paula Dean Tour." Macy loved riding on the bus...she was the center of attention from all participants.
We then stopped at Byrd Cookie Company. She has all of her gift baskets made here, keeps their cookies always in stock and many other goodies that they carry. They are famous for their Key Lime Cookies...and yes, we bought plenty at this store!! We made the excuse that we were buying gifts...we'll see if that really happens.
After spending some time at the beach, we headed into Savannah to Riverstreet. Along the river on the original cobble stone street are all kinds of shops. We especially liked the ones that gave out free samples. The big thing there was pralines. My husband and sister-in-law absolutely love them. In fact, my sister-in-law bought 2 pounds that day and we had to go back the next day to buy more because she had eaten them all. She bought 3 pounds the next day.
I know it has been a week since I last posted, and for good reason. We have been on vacation!!! We took Brian's parents along with his sister, brother-in-law and nephew to Savannah and Tybee Island, Georgia. We absolutely had a blast. We did not take Molly with us because she is just too young to have had any fun, so Macy got our undivided attention...which she usually demands anyway! Molly got to have fun with Nomie and Poppy.
She played in the ocean. And just to give you an idea of how things just don't faze children...the ocean was approx. 64 degrees. I could hardly have my feet in much less any more of my body, but Macy didn't care. There was no shivering, no blue lips, and she even just sat down in the water.
What a fun day the girls had!! We drove to Bowling Green after church to see Brian's family and have lunch. Brian's family loves Easter and hiding eggs for the kids. We ended up hiding inside because it was too cold to go outside.
Yesterday, March 22nd, my in-laws celebrated 50 years of marriage. That is such a great accomplishment these days. We are so proud for them. Brian, Macy and I and Brian's sister and brother-in-law and their son are taking their parents to Savannah, Ga and Tybee Island on Wednesday. My mother-in-law is a huge fan of Paula Dean and my father-in-law loves history so they are so excited about going. We can't wait.
