Happenings

Why have we been so busy lately?  There has been a lot going on.  Both Mr. J and I had a work trip to Savannah for a whole week. It was beautiful and we had some fun alone time but my goodness a week is a long time. I missed Miss O terribly and it felt like my time stayed still while everyone else's moved forward. This might be a good thing for some people but I felt awfully behind.

Savannah is such a fun, beautiful place to visit. I loved walking around the squares, visiting the small, unique stores and enjoying the delicious eats. 

We went on a fun tour of the Savannah Bee Company bee garden. I am really, really frightened of bees and was scared the to death.  I am proud to say I stayed for the whole explanation and even dipped my finger in the hive to try some really fresh honey. My heart was racing really fast the whole time; talk about adrenaline rush.

Once back home it was a mad rush to catch up on laundry, get groceries and finally finish Olivia's toy shelf.  This was sold as a weekend project; it took us 4 months to complete.  No exaggeration.  I am so happy it is done and now we have cleared out all of the baskets floating around full of toys.  Olivia couldn't stay away.

We also threw in a baptism in Maine. Olivia was baptized by my dad in Mr. J's family's church. She was the 6th generation to be baptized there.  It was a very special day and now we have a blessed baby :) 

Whew! I am tired all over again just typing this out.  More recipes to come later this week. Happy Wednesday!
