At the beginning of the month, we had all planned to head to Jackson to help celebrate our October birthdays. Unfortunately, Lydia came down with Hand, Foot, and Mouth a few days before we were scheduled to go. A 17month curious toddler with HFM is not a good person to have around a 3-month old baby. So, Eden Brooks and I headed to Jackson alone. We had some fun playtime the night before we left, and then we were on our way.
Actually, I drove Miss E to McComb on Thursday to meet her CC and Granddaddy. They spent the day on Friday at the Mississippi State Fair riding rides and taking care of the animals at the livestock show. I drove back to Jackson on Friday, and we all got to visit with Aunt CoCo, Uncle Britton, and Henry Winters. We got CoCo's early birthday present ready on Saturday morning and even got to FaceTime and Whitney in when it was opened ...
... and spent some time with Ms. Oden's new dog ...
... and CC's new ride ...
Then it was time to cheer on the Bulldogs as our way to celebrate Granddaddy's birthday ...
Winters got a little tired during the game but he rebounded after a quick snooze ...
We had to say goodbye to the little cousin at lunch but did get to go to Granddaddy's Sunday School birthday party that night. On the way home, E and I stopped off to get some tights and admire the itty-bitty clothes at BabyGap ...
She dined on chocolate milk earlier in the day but by the time we drove home from the party and the stores that night she was out completely. So much so that I let her sleep in her cheerleader uniform. Not a minute after I put her in the bed correctly, she was already moved around taking up all the room ....
The next day, we went to church, where E signed us all in ...
And after a yummy lunch at "the place with the fish in the tank," Eden, CC, and I headed back to Baton Rouge. I'm so thankful for our celebratory birthday weekend. Hopefully, we'll have another one when everybody is well!
