TBP

When did you go to your first concert?  For Lucy, it was when she was 3.  Then her second was yesterday, when she was 4.  I've said it before, but it's really impressive.  The thing is, she's quite musical.  She can't be still when she hears music.  In fact, the first time Bryan ever felt her move was when we were singing in church.  She has always loved music apparently.

Her favorite band is "The Band Perry."  They are country rockers from the same small town my dad grew up in-Greeneville, TN.  My grandma still lives there.  The band is made up of 3 siblings-Reid, Neil and Kimberly.  Lucy is obsessed.  She often pretends to be Kimberly, and knows every word to every song they sing.  I think I once posted a movie of her singing one of their songs.

When we heard the band was going to be in their hometown for their new CD release, we had to go.  They were giving a FREE concert on main street!  Granted, the night before we were driving home from Florida, but we HAD to go.

This concert was literally, the biggest thing that ever happened to Greeneville.  There have NEVER been that many people in the town at once.  It was crowded.  Of course, my genius mother made friends with the local sheriff.  We had a GREAT spot.  She's got mad skills.  It shouldn't impress me like it does-after all, she's done it my whole life, but she is so good!

After waiting for 3 hours (yes, 3) for the concert to start, we were treated with an incredible show!  The band really is entertaining.  Lucy spend most of the concert on her daddy's shoulders.  She was singing along and couldn't stop smiling.  Priceless.

                                Thank you Band Perry for a great end to our spring break fun!

Spring Break 2013

It wasn't Panama City Beach.  

It wasn't really even hot.  

It was a good time though.  

There was much laughter with old friends.  There were new friendships made between precious little souls.  

My heart was happy and sad all at the same time when I visited SCE and saw little snippets from my past.  

There were margaritas in my hand and toes in the sand.  There was shrimp.  Lots of good shrimp.

There were new introductions to sweet precious baby boys.

There were running feet and fishing poles, scooters and tea parties.

My heart smiled when we walked across Samford's campus where so many happy memories were made.  It was also where this family, my sweet little family started.  

Here's to you Spring Break!  

You came and went so fast, but we enjoyed every second.  

 



 

The BIG 0-4

Four.  

She's really four.  

I've already forgotten so many moments.  It's too hard to write everything down.

Lucy, at four you are:  hilarious, not a picky eater, a decent sleeper, in the 75% for height and the 25% for weight, you are so intelligent, loving, feisty, have bruised shins all the time, and have never met a stranger.  You love the t.v. shows "Doc McStuffins" and "Sophia the First," The Band Perry, and singing.  You love books, especially "Llama Llama books and Fancy Nancy too.  You keep your teachers laughing each day, and want to watch the movie, "Ramona and Beezus" at least once a week.  Each day I notice that you grow up a little more.  It makes me sad, but excites me too.  I can't wait to see what you will grow up to be (right now when asked you say either a surgeon, teacher, or waitress!)

For your 4th birthday, we got you tickets to the circus.  You also got too many presents from all the people who love you.  For your birthday dinner, we went to Don Gallo-your favorite Mexican restaurant.  You wanted to wear the sombrero and have the "cookers" sing to you.  It was GREAT!

You are spoiled.  

Appreciate it.  

Enjoy it.  

You are lucky. 

I wish I could bottle you up.

You are the light of my life. 

Happy 4th big girl!
