Happy Birthday Riley!

Tuesday was Riley's 31st Birthday. Hope you had a wonderful birthday!

I couldn't ask for a better husband!!! I love you!!

Triplet Update

Riley and I went to visit Wade and Mandy and to hopefully see the girls on Sunday. Well, because they were in ICU there is odd times that you can see them and we had just barely missed it and the next time wasnt for 4 hours. But, we did get to see Wade and Mandy and they released Mandy while we were there. She is doing great and looks awesome! We did get to watch videos of the babies and see pictures. The babies are doing fabulous! Audrey, the one that weighed 4-7 has already taken her first full bottle by herself! They other girls arent far behind either. In the videos you could see them laying on their stomachs and pushing up on their toes...almost like they were doing push ups. The doctors said Audrey may be able to go home soon and the others hopefully before Christmas. Sorry I don't know which is which in the pictures...they sent these to me.

Look how long!

Annual Christmas Party

This past weekend was our Annual Christmas Party. I love this time of year. I have been having a Christmas party since college and it just continued and is now a tradition. We always have TONS of food which is my favorite part (I mean other than the good company! :) This year we didn't have as many people as normal because of the game and so much going on as it always is in December...but we still had a great time! It was so great to see everyone.

The Triplets are here!!!

Our friends that I posted about earlier, Wade and Mandy that were expecting triplets just had them today. She did great because she went what is considered full term for triplets (34 weeks). Yesterday they had scheduled the C-section for today at noon. I got a text message around 1:15 that said all the babies were healthy little girls. They weighed 4-7, 4-5, and 4-2. She named them: Audrey Kate, Caroline McColl and Emma Grace. We are so happy for them! Please pray for them that they keep doing well and also for Wade and Mandy as they make this transition with 3!!!
** We plan to go to Birmingham to see them Sunday after church so I will post pictures then.

Iron Bowl 08

I first have to start off by saying ROLL TIDE!!! I am so proud of Alabama this year...they have worked so hard and it has payed off! We had a great time Saturday even though it was a messy day. We had several people to tailgate this weekend. Becca's family was able to come out and it was great seeing all of them! My friend Cyndee and her husband Dan came and so we were able to catch up since I had not seen her since her or talked to her much since her wedding in October. One of my favorite parts of tailgating is not only just watching Alabama football, but seeing and spending time with friends also...but watching the game and being in the midst of other fans is a plus too!

After the game Cyndee, Dan, Becca, Zach, Riley and I went to Chuck's Fish to eat. It was so good! It is one of my favorite places to eat. It was fun to because they had a Motown band playing so we got to listen to the band while we ate.

Weekend

Friday morning Riley and I headed back down to Fairhope for the weekend. We went shopping Friday afternoon and Saturday and got some of our Christmas taken care of. Becca and Zach had invited us to their house for dinner and to watch the game on Saturday. It was so good to get to spend time with them. Dinner was also wonderful!! Thanks Zach and Becca...cant wait to see you again Saturday!

Sunday we left early so we could make it home in time for Thanksgiving with Riley's Mom's side of the family. We, of course, had way to much food and I began the holidays off by eating way too much!!! I love this time of year though...seeing family and friends and eating wonderful food! :) I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Upgrade

We finally got some well needed bedroom furniture this weekend. I was very excited. I think if it was up to Riley, he would have slept on the bed we had (which was his since he was in Junior HIgh) forever. It had held up pretty well until the last month or so. Now we are working on putting tile in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms and new contertops in the bathrooms. So, the house is turned upside down right now; but hopefully the end result will be worth it.
