Photos at Nana's House

Bumblebee 1, originally uploaded by jennography.

This weekend we are at my mother-in-law's house in western NC. We may actually stay for the week and return home next weekend.

She has the most beautiful yard!!...with zinnias and an assortment of flowers that I have no idea the name of.

Along with the colorful array of flowers and trees, many creatures come to enjoy and play.

Here is one friend, the bumblebee. Also I got some great shots of hummingbirds, butterflies, and hydrangeas.

Enjoy more photos on my photostream. =)

My Hubby, the resident!

Here is a pic of my hubby. He is a chaplain resident as of this week...looking quite important in his resident lab coat. =)

Actually Today!

Actually today is Jordan's "official" birthday. Since we had a big family party this past weekend, we are pretty much doing a "Jordan" day today.

She makes the rules for today.

The first rule was NO school for Jordan Day. It is a holiday...hehe. We did do Math and Reading...but a much less intense day.

In the late morning we went to the park with friends, and afterwards I took my little Diva girl to get a pedicure and manicure. She was soaking it ALL in like the girlie girl that she is!!! lol.

(However, she did not want the paparazzi around during the event. We can see the celebrity's feet and hands only. =)
Here is the finished product:

To Toes...

Jordan is 12!

I can't believe that my little baby girl is now a very grown up 12 yr old!

We celebrated together with out of town family. A small family birthday party.

First we had dinner at a fun restaurant on the water. Then we walked to the water and enjoy strolling along together, and watching the boats (and the people with their cute pets). Afterwards we drove back home and enjoyed eating birthday cake, and watching Jordan open her gifts.

Jordan wanted her cousin to make her birthday cake with her only...no mom allowed in the kitchen. lol. So the night before, the girls made the cake together. I have to say, it was quite fancy too with the little tier and coffee grounds made into swirls around the edge. Very creative! It was Jordan's favorite, Red Velvet Cake with Butter-cream icing. =)

We had a wonderful time and I hope you will enjoy the slideshow. Blessings!

Well, I'm Back and They're Gone =(

We had a wonderful visit with our family this weekend! They headed back early because our niece has a volley ball game, and our nephew has football practice.

It went by way too fast, as always time flies when we are having fun, Jordan and Josh are so sad their cousins have left. They laughed and cut up and just had a ball together. =)

I'll blog more later (I have lots of photos to upload from our visit and from celebrating Jordan's birthday with family), right now we need to take our car for the brakes to be fixed. We found one place open on Labor Day. We've got to fix them today because David begins a chaplain residency at a hospital about 35 mins away. The brakes on his car went out on him last week...grinding horribly!

Sorry I've been out of touch, but our weekend was busy and I did not want to take away from any of our times together.

Blessings to you all! Jenn
