Meeting Granny & Pawpaw

On Monday, Mom and I went down to Kennesaw, GA so that Jack could meet my Granny & Pawpaw for the first time! It was so wonderful to see them and spend some time together!

WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Girls Craft Night

EDITED TO ADD: final pictures of everyone's wreaths are now at the bottom!

Last Friday night a few girls from church got together at Stephanie's house for a craft night! The plan was to make a Halloween ribbon wreath like at The Picky Apple, but I knew that I wanted to make a Tennessee wreath right away! You can check out her blog for official instructions, but basically you get a ton of ribbon, cut it into strips, then hot glue it into a loop and glue that onto a wreath. 

I have to brag on Jack for a minute - he was AMAZING the whole time. He was happy when he was awake and sleeping otherwise. :)

We worked hard on our wreaths while chatting the evening away. Before I left, I took pictures of where everyone was in the process:

Stephanie & Debra

Amanda & Alissa

(Jennifer was there too! She didn't work on a wreath but just came to enjoy some girl time - she's got a lot of testosterone goin' on at her place.)

And me! I got a lot further than I thought I would (since I wasn't done looping all my ribbon when I got there...), then I finished it up on Saturday afternoon!

I LOVE how it turned out!

I have a little football that I'm going to add to the bottom right with "The Lawhorns" on it, but I thought I would go ahead and put it up! I'm so proud of myself for actually FINISHING a craft project! 

Thanks to Stephanie & Amanda for "forcing" me to be crafty! :)

Baby LEW is Here!!

One of my VERY BEST FRIENDS, Alex, had her baby girl today!!

Leighton & her daddy

I am already crazy about this little girl and can't wait to meet her!

Jack's First Time at Church

Last Sunday we went to church for the first time since Jackson was born and this little man went to the nursery!

He did fabulously and Mommy didn't even cry! :)

Then came the every popular Sunday afternoon nap. :) 

This happens a LOT around here. 

Almost Caught a Laugh

During the TN game on Saturday, one of the players (Rogers) made an AMAZING play and we all started cheering! I took Jackson's hands and clapped them together and said "YAAAAAY!!" over and over and out of no where he started LAUGHING!!! Oh my gosh we were so excited! His little mouth was open SO WIDE and he was grinning, and then he just laughed!

So later on Saturday night, we tried to re-create the moment, which is why I say "yay" 80,000 times. For that I apologize. And we didn't even get him to laugh on camera, but it's still pretty adorable.

Love this amazing child!! I can't wait until he laughs all the time!

TN vs. Cincinnati

Last Saturday was another fun game day here at the Lawhorn house. Mr. Jack was all decked out, as usual.

thanks to Aunt Cara for my awesome onesie!!

And our wonderful friends Mike & Ashley came over to watch the game with us! 

If you will notice, Jack is in his second TN outfit for the day. 

The four of us witnessed Jackson doing something VERY fun for the VERY first time... 

Check back tomorrow to find out what!

Chat With Cate

Last week we got a real treat!! We got to see Cate! It has been years since I had seen her - since our days at Camp Vesper Point! She was in town for a few days and asked if she could stop by - OF COURSE! 

We talked for a while and caught up on each others lives. She is serving the Lord with CRU at Disney World!! How awesome is that?! Please say a quick prayer for her as she raises support for this wonderful ministry. GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING THERE!!

Later in the day, I took a few quick pictures of the cutie pie.

I love how attentive he has gotten lately. He loves those little birdies. :)
