LG participated in the FPD Talent Show! She sang Don't Stop Believin on stage all by herself (This is the same song that Daddy and I sang in the MCC show). CW totally took this on & they practiced in the mornings on the way to school. We were SO proud of her! She wore her sparkly floor length gold dress and even had some dance moves to go along with the song. We got their super early so we could sit on the front row & we enjoyed every minute of it. Uncle Pi even took off of work to come watch! Way to go, LG!
We welcomed a new addition to our family on Sunday, February 12th...Milkshake! We adopted her from PetSmart. LG has been dying for a dog ever since we had to find another home for Wiggles. We finally gave in and decided to adopt. We went to PetSmart 2 or 3 times and once she saw "Milkshake" formerly known as "Tammy Faye" she fell in love. Milk is the best dog ever and a perfect fit for our family! She is about 4 years old, weighs about 24 pounds, loves to cuddle and sleeps with LG most nights. Thank you Lord for providing this sweet girl to us!
I spoke at my Garden Club meeting about CCS and told my adoption story. This was a great opportunity for me...it's one thing to talk in front of acquantices/strangers and another to talk in front of my peers. Thank you Lord for giving me the courage. Everyone said they enjoyed hearing my story (lots of tears) and I was able to familiarize the group with CCS. Most girls brought diapers and/or onesies to donate to CCS, too.
Mom and I headed to Tybee for a girls weekend on the 23rd. We had enjoyed breakfast on Saturday morning and I came home to about 5 missed calls on my cell from CW. I immediately called him back and he told me we had been robbed! What?!? I said, "are you kidding me? seriously?" His response was, "YES, I'm serious!!! Do you think I would make this up?!?" He was just slightly stressed out. He came home to an open back door and thought he had mistakenly left it open. Once he walked through the living room, he took one look at the wall saw that the flatscreen was missing from the wall and realized we had been robbed! The girls were frantically calling for Milkshake & they eventually found her in our room on the bed...poor baby! If dogs could talk, right? They took my laptop (from MY bedside table), CW's ipod, my rainboots and a bathing suit bottom from Target with the tag still on it! Yes, I went to Target with my receipt and had them scan it to see if they could tell if the bottom had been returned...no such luck. The police came and tested for finger prints and basically all that did was make a huge mess. While I was on the phone with CW I heard LG come through the kitchen and say, "Well, Daddy, atleast the robbers didn't take our gumball machine, right!?!" Oh how I love the minds of children. We were extremely thankful that nobody was home (forgot to say, CW had taken the girls, along with MB to IHCC for breakfast) and that they only took a few things. After all, it is just stuff. My heart breaks for all the pictures I lost that were stored on my laptop, though!!! I sent an email to myself (wasn't sure if my emial account was "up" when they took my laptop) and said I had misplaced my laptop and if anyone knew where it was to please contact me and return it...it was worth a try...no response, ha! Come to find out these "people" are rampant in Macon right now, kicking back doors in left and right stealing any electronics you have. They have even switched the liscense plates on the cars so you can't track them. A little positive news from the trip is that Mom came back to Macon with contracts for BOTH beach houses. Granddaddy and Kay bought 1311 and someone that lives in Atlanta, but grew up in Macon (a former Kerningan) bought 1405. Thank you Lord! We look forward to the next house that you have for us.
The girls and I made cupcakes for Papa's traditional birthday surprise and delivered them to him at his office after we picked LG up from school. The girls LOVE doing this! They take the tray of cupcakes in to Papa, we take a picture, everyone eats a cupcake or two and then we walk around the office sharing Papa's cupcakes with whomever wants one!
