"Gooooo Cwemthon"

Looks like I'm not the only one in the house excited about watching the Clemson Tigers play today!

*within .02 seconds of me finishing this little photo shoot Adelaide pulled her pig tails out.  I put them back in. She pulled them back out again.  That's just how it goes.

Pizza Face

Now that Homegirl has 6 whole teeth, she's able to eat a lot more table food. In fact, she is able to eat most things that we eat for dinner these days.  The other night was her first taste of P.I.Z.Z.A. and I think it's safe to say she liked it (and she looked pretty darn cute eating it!).

CINDY!!!

THIS is Cindy. She is one of my favorite friends in the world.  We actually met when we went to Argentina together in 2005, and we have stayed great friends ever since.  We don't see each other nearly often enough. In fact, the last time I saw her was last summer when she generously made the trip down to Charlotte to come to my baby shower. So this was her first time meeting Adelaide!

Isn't Cindy BEAUTIFUL???

Cindy has 2 jobs... one is a boring old desk job... and the other is her own photo styling business (if you are doing any commercials or photo shoots in Raleigh, let me know... I know a great photo stylist)!!  So unfortunately that meant we only had 1 night to hang out. but it was so so worth it. Our next visit will most definitely be in LESS than a year :-)

I also got to see sweet Jenna Sherard and her new little girl Celia! No pictures from that visit, but believe me that baby is cuuuuute!!!

Warrior Dash

While my sister Dana and b-i-l Brad were back from China for a few weeks, one of the things us sisters decided to do together was the Warrior Dash 5K. It was tons of fun - especially:

• when Brooke got rolled off a log into green swampy water... and probably swallowed some
• when Brooke got stuck flat on her stomach hugging a board on the top of the "Horizontal Hike..."
• when I fell up to my neck in the mud pit
• when Dana got a shout out from the announcer and cheers from the crowd for running the race at 17 wks pregnant.

I did NOT purchase any of the pictures they took of me during the race (they were not exactly frame-worthy), but here are some before & after shots.

girl friends.

I have so so many things I have not blogged about over the last few weeks so this is going to be short and sweet.  

While I was in Charlotte a few weeks ago, 6 of my best girl friends from college happened to be in Chapin, SC for the day.  Adelaide and I got to go down for the day (most of them had never met her!) and hang out.  Naturally, we went out on a boat, laughed a lot and got to catch up. It was waaaay to short of a visit for such good friends, but it was still so refreshing. 

These pictures are terrible and blurry, but they are all I have of me and my friends :-)

Fence

We are finally trying to put up a fence at this "new" house of ours (and when I say "we," I mean "Jason"). I think we are putting up over 40 sections and as of right now there are 8 up. It's a little bit of a slow process because Jason can't do it by himself, so he needs at least one friend to help him, and he has to work around session meetings, softball games, hurricanes, traveling, etc. We are going out of town again this weekend, but I think AFTER that he will be able to hunker down and get 'er done. 

The one where Bidwell was bossing Schub around :-)

The fence now turns the corner. It will go all the way back to where that white fence is (just a few feet away from it) and then run all the way along the back of the yard there, back up to the front of the house. That's A LOT of fence!  We'll let you know when it's done. Our goal is first weekend of October. ha.
