Beach Anybody??

In August, we went to Destin with my best friend and her husband. This was our second time to vacation with Megan and Justin and as always we had a blast. Sophie was to little to go last year with us, but this year she was introduced to the beach for the first time. She absolutely LOVED IT! She was so excited to see the "Big Water" and probably would have stayed outside the whole day if we let her.

Sophie had it made with her own pool, umbrella, beach toys, and sand buckets. She was quite fascinated with the sand and occasionally took breaks to go in the "Big Water" with Daddy. Sophie and Daddy had lots of fun jumping the waves and looking at all the fish.

We all had a terrific time and the weather was FABULOUS! I can't wait for it to happen all over again next year.

Say a little prayer

Last night Jeff and I were told that someone we used to be very close to recently lost their baby in the early stages of pregnancy. Out of respect for the family, I don't want to mention any names. Please lift this family up in prayer as they are going through a very difficult time right now.

Hats Off to the Graduate

My brother, Chris/Matt, is graduating from ITT this Friday. I am so excited and extremely proud of him. He graduates not only at the top of his class, but as Valedictorian of the three or four divisions that they group together. Way to go Chris!!!!!!

Baby loves shoes!!

It would seem that at 2 years old you wouldn't know that much about shoes or care for that matter. Well, not so. Sophie is a shoe FANATIC!!!

Jeff has already come to the conclusion that he is in trouble. Sophie already knows where the shoes are in many stores and has often screamed "SHOES" when passing by said areas. She loves to walk around in my shoes, Jeff's shoes, MeMaw's shoes and practically anybody's shoes she can get her feet in.

Sophie has mastered running shoes, flip flops, sandals, and heels. In fact, she is pretty good walking in heels. It never fails that after Memaw (Joanne) gives her a bath she goes to the closet and gets the red heels.

I can't blame her for her love of shoes because she comes by it honestly. Shoes are wonderful. If you go out shopping and have no luck with clothes head toward the shoe department. Shoes will never let you down.
