Closer...

And now we have landscaping~makes it look like a home :)

FYI~Andy did not do the landscaping but he will be taking care of the back. Will post those pics when he gets started.

Getting even closer...

Shutters, a driveway, and some sod!! YAY!

Closing date has been moved from December 16th to the 20th. We are fine with that; we just hope to be in before the end of the year. I'm getting so excited!!

What a child hears...

Lilley Grace has been saying the funniest things lately, so I had to write them down so I would remember them.

She told me the other night that her granddaddy was "an aunt sister." I said, "What is that?" She said, "A person that lived a long time before us." Oh! An ancestor!!!

We spent a day at the Wolfchase last week. She wanted to pose outside on the wall.

 I wanted to get a picture of the two of us on our girls' day.

I told her as we were walking in that the mall had a carousel. She asked what that was. I said, "You know, the ride where you get on a horse and it goes around and around." She said (so seriously), "Mama, that's a merry go round. You said a carrot sale!"

 We went to Birmingham for the weekend to spend Thanksgiving with my family. We had a blast! We spent the night at my cousin's house, hung out with he and his wife and their 3 kids. Most of the rest of my family came over on Saturday and we ate a great lunch and watched some football (we won't talk about that). My mom, Lg, and I spent Saturday night at the Birmingham Galleria where LG got to ride another "carrot sale." :) Check out the child in the sleigh behind LG photo-bombing the picture!

Saturday morning Andy took the kids to get donuts. This is the one LG picked out. 

ROLL TIDE!!! 

 Just a little happy to end on. Carson LOVES to sweep and clean. When he walked into his room with the broom, Andy told him to stop carrying Peppi's (my mom's) car around. LOL!!
