Time is Ticking

Four weeks. That is how long everyone has to spend time with us. I can't believe it.

*****BREAKING NEWS*****

Steven has finally turned over. As I was writing the first sentence he rolled over from front to back. It's only taken him 5 months!
In other news, Steven also sat in a sitting position all by himself for about a minute a couple of days ago, so he's all out of order on the milestones. Oh, and Martha's theory about them eating a lot and then doing something special is debunked.

OK. So now the big news is out of the way I would like to continue on and share with you what we have been up to since the last blog. For one, my experience in Georgia. J shared with you most of our trip but I had an experience I would like to share. As J shared, while most of the men went golfing, the church took the women to a famous restaurant in Savannah, GA. I have just one word for you: BUTTER! Those of you who watch the food network channel know who I'm talking about. Paula Dean's "Lady and Sons". It was AMAZING! I don't think my grandma could have cooked anything better and she grew up as country as they come. Everything had butter in it. By the time we got there I was starving, which was a good thing considering what I had ahead of me. That is to consume as much as I could without throwing up. Although I came close to that line, I succeeded in my mission:
It was a buffet that had fried chicken, ribs, corn, rice, sweet potatoes, fried potatoes, gravy, black eyed peas, green beans, turnip greens, and more. We were started off with a pancake and a biscuit. Then the buffet. Then dessert which was a choice of peach cobbler, butter cake, and something else I can't remember. Although the lunch was amazing, the company was almost as good. I got to meet Bobby Dean (Paula Dean's cute and, as far as we know, single son). My sisters were upset I did not mention to him about my two single sisters (one who is my 30 year old twin and likes karate, hanging out with family, and outdoor activities and the other who is 32 years old and is loyal, hard working, and very nice and who are both pretty good looking) They are not too picky when it comes to rich, famous, cute, and single men. So Bobby, if you are reading this and would like to meet them, just let me know.

Here's me and Bobby Dean, my future brother-in-law (well, I can dream!) [Note: edit by J - THEY can dream! You can scheme.]

We also got to see my grandma and Uncle Steve and Aunt Patti (not pictured) in South Carolina on our way home from Georgia. Grandma took us to Cracker Barrel (yum, again!), so here Steven poses with his great-grandma.

Moving on, we had a lots of rain when the "noreaster" came through on Sunday which soaked the ground. On Monday, the wind was so strong it started uprooting trees everywhere. My parents house is surrounded by trees but we were not too concerned since we didn't have any trees fall on us during Hurricane Fran. Well, my sister and I were downstairs watching TV when we heard a crash and felt the house shake. We jumped up to see what happened and below is what we found:This tree fell right above where my parents' bathroom is. It scared us because my dad was in the upstairs bathroom at the time. Luckily the roof took most of the damage and my dad is fine. Unfortunately, his deck that he worked forever to build was destroyed. The roof took a beating, but we're thankful that it didn't rain much and hopefully it's just a matter of replacing the parts of the roof that were broken. Today they are out there getting it down. We now have lots of firewood. :)

Well that is it. I'm not that good at coming up with questions on my own so I will borrow from the coffee lady for the Blog Debate™: Michael Jackson - black or white? Discuss.
