RIP St George

Our kitty St George passed away a couple of weeks ago. We are sad to lose a member of our family, but know that he is not sick anymore. We told Grace that George died and went to heaven (at least I can't imagine heaven without animals!) Here are some pictures of George over the years.



George loved to sleep in Grace's bed when we were away. He wouldn't go near her room when she was home, though.



Ben never liked to waken George from sleeping.

Of course Saki wanted some attention, too.

I think he found a comfy spot here.



This is last year's Xmas picture. Of course George was just taking a nap and didn't know that he was cooperating.



Couldn't leave anything open or George would find his way inside.

George always loved food. He's hoping for some of Ben's bday cake.

George was actually lactose intolerant. We tried to feed him milk in this pic and learned that it didn't stay down. Gross!

George didn't cooperate for this year's Xmas pic.

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas visiting family to celebrate the birth of our Savior! We began the festivities with a Christmas Eve service at our church and then came home to open our gifts before we headed to my parent's house on Christmas Day. The day after Christmas we travelled (while snowing) to my Granparent's house to visit more family. It was a great time and of course we all ate too much!



Enjoying my mom's famous Christmas breakfast of stuffed french toast with apricot syrup - Yum!



Grace LOVES to open gifts - even ones that aren't for her. Here she is smiling about her new tea set (plastic). The tea sets she got for her birthday are gone because they were porcelain and broke on our tile floors.

Washing the tea set with Nana.

We decorated a HUGE gingerbread man. Grace was nice enough to let me take a taste!

This was from my Mom's side Christmas party last weekend. We had a great time singing Christmas carols together.

This is the end of Christmas Day - whew we were exhausted!

Baby Jesus' happy birthday cake I made. It was red velvet with cream cheese icing.

November Recap

I can't believe November came and went and I didn't even get a single post! I hope you enjoy these photos from last month. 

We take a walk almost everyday to feed Nick the horse. He is just a short walk across the canal and Grace looks forward to it every time! She even named her rocking horse Nick.





Grace and I joined Nana in the Walk For Life earlier this month to help bring awareness the Lowcountry Pregnancy Center and their support for LIFE! Here she is getting her face painted with a butterfly to match her coat.



Grace enjoyed watching her cousin Roman play soccer.

My little helper...she helps me cook just about every meal. She's a great stirrer & dumper!!

We enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving at Grandma & Grandpa Hough's.

Grace finally had a little girl to play with over Thanksgiving, although she is still learning how to share.

Grace has some snuggle time with Great Granpa Homer.
