I became a kid again

Snow.

A rare sight to southerners.

We got some of this strange white stuff here in Greenville.

3 inches to be exact.

And what fun!!!

These two pictures were taken after it had been

snowing about an hour.

Shelby trying to understand.

She hasn't seen snow like this before.

Seriously??
Was this the best they could do?

"Mommy, it tastes like sugar!"

?????

Here in the south, it doesn't have to have to be July

to grill out.

We have to eat, right?

It's now the morning after.

35 degrees.

Windy.

I'm cold.

School's out.

I may not get dressed today.

Then again I may go explore the beauty of this

phenomenon one more time.

Stay tuned.

Until then...

Powerful

SPEECHLESS....

Until then...

Happy

Valentine's

Day!!

Jump ropes and Valentine's

Today was the big day.

The American Heart Association's

Jump Rope for Heart.

The first graders jumped "Chinese"

(I'm thinking due to coordination or lack there of)

Shelby and Callie "doubling"

Quante not feeling it.

Guessing jump rope is not cool for boys.

As of this afternoon Pelham Road Elementary School had raised

an estimated $7,000.

Way to go, All-Stars!!!

Corn on the cob could be a challenge

The dramatics are becoming less and less with each tooth that comes out.

This is #4.

It was extremly loose when we sent her to school on Monday.

Larry picked her from school while I was at a doctor's appointment

and somehow it got bumped out.

She turned to Larry with tooth in hand and said,

"Here, Daddy. My tooth came out."

That's it.

No crying.

No hysterics.

I'm guessing she's used to the idea by now.

And I am, too.

Until then...

Precious Memories

This past weekend Shelby and I took a trip to Columbus, Georgia.

Home of Granny and Grandpa.

Shelby doesn't realize it now but the time she spends with her great grandparents is time she will always cherish.

I have early childhood memories of Mawmaw and Pawpaw.

Sitting with the Sears catalog and preparing a shopping list of wants.

"I buy that."

Walking up the steep driveway on Valleybrook Rd to them sitting on the front porch with the Camellia bush in full bloom.

The slam of the storm door echoing in the neighborhood.

The smell of Pawpaws pipe.

Mawmaw's crocheting.

How I miss them.

Shelby and Great-Grandpa fixing pancakes

Talking and watching the birds

Shelby teaching Great-Granny how to play the Nintendo DS

I hope Shelby holds on to the memories she has created with her great grandparents.

I cherish the ones I have of mine.

Until then...
