Well, let's try and catch up. It has been extremely fast and very crazy lately. I usually spend all my free time studying - it is not easy going back to school at my age; however, I WILL SUCCEED!
Hurricane Ike made Nan and her bunch leave League City, TX (where they live now) just outside of Galveston. Before they went back home, we met in Amite, LA for Sunday lunch. I miss seeing her - but mostly, I miss seeing Abby and Macie. Here is a pic of Uncle Ray and his four girls: three little blonde hair and blue-eyed; then there is Carmon Claire (think she will always be a little special) And look at my sweet Abby, fixing to be 19 and just as beautiful as the day she was born...........my how time flies. Of course, since Macie didn't have to go back to school, she came home with us for a few days. Caleigh enjoyed it b/c she would make Macie clean her room (you know the younger cousin looking up to the older - sure that will change before long!!) Had a great time - sure do wish they could grow up together.
Then there was the trip to the Ringling Bros circus at the coliseum. You know, for Carmon Claire, because she had never been. Well she really enjoyed the nap through the entire circus. Here are some pics - just in case you have never seen a Siberian tiger in a cage being chased around by a woman in a long purple coat; or if you haven't seen elephants sitting on a stool; or clowns - but I am sure most of you haven't seen a circus act with 5 little dachshunds - but you have now.......
So after floor seats at $40.00 each, lemonade for $8.00 a glass and popcorn for $4.00 a box - seeing these dachshunds in little half rockers doing tricks, was priceless ( I guess, Michael, I am sure, wwouldn't agree)
Since we last visited, CC has made her first trip to McDonald's with her little daycare group at NeeNee's (Denise Magee). We met the group for lunch and she had a great time!! I left CC with Denise after lunch and went to have dinner with Ray. While eating, Denise called laughing hysterically saying that Carmon Claire had dropped her sassy and was screaming, while another little girl Abby quietly sat beside her with her fingers in both ears!! Denise had made one stop to get the sassy and give it back to CC only for her to throw it again. Long lunch and I'm sure it was a long ride home - until she crashed. Denise sent me these pics of the day...............
So much fun!!
Ok, now I am getting a little tired!
WHEW!! What a day!!!
Then there was ASC Homecoming where my very beautiful Haleigh was on the court. And we were there, along with her beautiful beau, Ryan, and guess what................yep, we made pictures - lots of them!!
Ain't She Pretty!!! (i guess her mom ain't gonna get around to blogging anytime soon!!)
Took the girls to eat at Sante Fe in McComb - really, really good. So glad Caleigh will eat just about anything - and so far, CC will too. Today CC had a little snack on onion rings from Granny's corner with Haleigh and Ryan. YUMMY!!!
Well, dear Ruthie, hope you enjoyed some very boring news. We leave tomorrow for our first ever trip to Ole Miss. Michael is a die-hard fan - me, not so much. Mostly a USM fan - that may change this weekend. Oh and next weekend - a very great thing will happen - CARMON CLAIRE WILL BE TURNING 1 YEAR OLD (10-10-08). Maybe I will take some pictures - who knows, seems like I always forget my camera............HA HA HA
you GOT to learn to call me when you come to Jxn

It's so awesome that sweet CC is going to NeeNee's daycare! I will have to show you the photo I found the other day of Caleigh and Shelby at NeeNee's house!! It's so hard to believe how much they have grown since then.

I just stopped @ Mama Jeanne's and got sweet kissess from my saving grace. I love her new tricks! She wasn't much into "touchdown" tonight probably because she didn't get to practice last night at the ASC game...LoL, sorry Ha! I had to say it :) Can't wait to see pictures from the game. I know you will post about it soon!
