Back!

Okay so I'm back, but still no battery for the camera so I just have a boring post with no pictures of the cuties. We had a fun time surprising my SIL in Tennessee. We didn't get to see her first reaction, but we actually pulled off a surprise. She had no idea. We were trying to be sneaky and drive up to her house the back way and in doing so actually passed her in her car. She was taking her daughter for her first driving experience. Had we been a few minutes later we would have been able to sneak up. But all in all a really good visit. They bought Andrew a Ford F-150. Not the big adult size one, but the power wheels. Don't ask me why, but she's wanted to do that since he was born. I will say that Andrew did get a kick out of it. He was so cute with his sunglasses on and one hand on the wheel and the other on the shifter. He would get stuck and put in reverse for a while and then go forward. all while looking up with the biggest grin a little boy could have. Emma just had fun running up and down their stairs and feeding their dogs food. She was so cute running up to them and just handing over her food. And of course they didn't mind one bit. And I really enjoyed myself because I got to go to my favorite grocery store. I know that sounds silly, but it's an amazing store. It's called the Fresh Market. And it's my dream store. Of course everything is more expensive than Wal-Mart or Kroger, but it has a cheese station. And the deli is a high end deli. And they play soft jazz music. I love it!!!!! I was introduced to this store when I went out there in July of last year. James went in with me this time and as we were walking out he said that he felt underdressed to be in there. And he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I have to admit that I would walk in there without showering and making sure that my teeth were brushed. (Not like I will at Wal-Mart sometimes. Shhhh don't tell! Some people think I have it all together!) Well, I will hopefully get a battery soon so I can start taking pictures soon and I'm sure I'll have more stuff to blog about. Oh, one last thing...Andrew always amazes me at what he says. Josie, our neice, was supposed to be in her room cleaning it up and was dilly dallying and had been gotten on to a couple of times by her parents (teenagers). So Andrew walks in and looks at her and says, "Your killing me Josie, your killing me!" It was all I could do to not lay down on the floor and roll around laughing. I love my son! This was just one of the many things that he said that was too funny. I love how his little mind works. I always hate it when he says something or does something that should get him in trouble and I have to hold back a smile. It so hard being a parent sometimes!! Stay tuned for more Andrew-isms! And soon to come Emma-isms!
