Giggles

What a whirlwind weekend! Thanks for all the prayers this weekend. I made it to St. Louis in time to grab a quick sandwich for dinner and get parked and to the airport. I have to admit flying out at 9pm was pretty nice...there weren't any lines at security and the plane was only about a third full. I love Southwest airlines, and only wished they had a closer hub to Paducah! My sister and Karmen were waiting curbside and we were off. I enjoyed the trip home with Karmen in the backseat holding onto my finger while she dozed. (It was way past her bedtime.)

We had a great time together and there are few other people that I would get up at 6am with on a Saturday morning! We enjoyed lunch with family to celebrate my grandmother's 87th birthday. I hope I am still going so strong when I am 87. They still live on their own and are in great health. Here she is with Karmen.



Later that afternoon we enjoyed a photo session. I just love these pictures!










The best part was right before my sister and Karmen left, I lifted her over my head and brought her down to my face. She thought that was the greatest thing ever and just laughed. Well, that was all it took for us to get the video camera out and do it over and over again! She thought it was great everytime.

It is also great to be home. Mike was wonderful and picked up the house before I got home because he knows how much that means to me!

COULD SHE BE CUTER??!! And though she doesn't have your blue eyes, she looks a lot like you!

The pictures are wonderful. You keep getting better and better at this. The one with your grandmother will be an heirloom for Karmen.

I'm glad you got to go for a whirlwind visit . . . mostly 'cause I don't want you to be gone longer than that!

Those are some pretty sweet pictures!

Thanks for noticing I made an effort to pick up for you. I'm glad you had a good time but I'm equally glad you are back home!

Love ya...

Be still my heart, she is adorable. I love big open mouth grins.

I miss my babies...it was so much easier than it seemed...I was warned that those were the easy years...I laughed and knew that was wrong...until now.
