Bike riding, Crazy hair day and Poor Mack

This has been an eventful week. Earlier this week, Ellie got some practice on her bike without training wheels. She is definitely a female driver. Worth said she couldn't pay attention because she kept trying to turn around to talk to him! Also, Friday was crazy hair day at Ellie's preschool. We really didn't have to work hard to obtain her fabulous 'do that morning. I've also included a little clip of Mack receiving his daily torture from his loving sisters:)

only pic i got of her riding by herself, she did it several times

This is one of those that she was too busy talking!

crazy hair day for Ellie's class - Emma just wanted to pose with sissy

Not sure what the off the shoulder action is?!

I just couldn't look at her without cracking up!

This happened last night and I just had to get the picture! Worth and Mack wore themselves out over that stressful and disappointing Bulldog game!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to our church this morning to pick out some pumpkins and take some fall pictures. Well, we picked out some great pumpkins, but didn't end up with that many great pictures. It was, however, less eventful than last year's experience. The girls are very excited about Halloween this year and have been a big help with finally getting our fall/Halloween decorations up!

Mimi

Yesterday I lost my grandmother, Mimi. She was 91 years old. It is so hard to say goodbye to such a loving, wonderful person. She was a huge influence in my life. She was born in 1922, only went to school through the 6th grade, worked hard for most of her life, was an incredible cook/baker, and loved playing the guitar, piano and harmonica. She had 4 children, 6 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. Mimi taught me many things including an appreciation for cooking and baking, the importance of a clean house, the love of music, and most importantly the love of Christ. I  can't say enough about this woman who was so close to my heart. A piece of my soul died with her yesterday but she certainly lives on in my memory. You will be greatly missed Mimi! I know you are playing that harmonica for Jesus today!

4 generations. Last year at Mimi's 90th birthday celebration

One of Mimi's visits to Valdosta. She loved playing the harmonica for people. Ellie and Emma loved it!

This video is a candid one that I happened to record at Christmas when Ellie was about 3 months old. Ellie was having a serious conversation with Mimi:)

6 weeks old and tummy time

Mack was 6 weeks old this past Wednesday. Time is zooming by! We love this little guy so much! The top picture is him on his 6 week birthday and the bottom picture is him during tummy time- obviously he is not a fan!
