Whew! A lot has happened!
I have not blogged in FOREVER! Let's see..... we have packed up a rental, moved to a new rental, and now we are getting ready for baby number 4!!!! I write blogs in my head all of the time, but honestly, I have not had the time nor the energy to type. Now that I am around 13 weeks, my energy level is back and I am not so GREEN!!!!
Let's back up to the last day of Ferbruary and the first day of March. My sister and three of my aunts came for a visit ( DAE, GLO BUG,and Aunt PAAAAAT). On Saturday of their visit, we visited the Daffodil fields for a photo shoot. The kids enjoyed picking flowers and I got some cute pics!!!! The girls had on sundresses and Lance had on shorts. That night we went to bed laughing at a weather report that was predicting snow for North Georgia. No way! It never happens...... The plan was for everyone to go home on Monday. The kids and I were going to follow everyone back, surprise the grandparents, and allow Eric some much needed time to start working on cleaning up the rental, packing,etc... Well, that night (actually early the next morning..... somewhere between 2 and 4 am) I woke up to a tornado warning for our area. I think we must have fallen asleep with the Weather Channel on. So, with Eric rolling his eyes at me, I woke everyone up. Better safe than sorry! I think everyone got back to sleep alright. False alarm. Anyhoo... the next morning there was more weather news! Snow was falling in North Georgia and falling fast!!! All of the aunts and sis thought that we should try to get home before the roads got too bad! Hee,Hee, Hee!!!! After a rush packing job we head to Georgia. Well, my sister was checking the weather and Facebook on the way home,and things were not looking good. In Washington, Georgia, an hour and a half from my parents, we had to stop. STRANDED!!!! The State Patrol were turning cars around. So....... I pulled into CVS. My aunt got their phonebook and booked our rooms while I went down the isles getting snacks and things to entertain the children. Our ADVENTURE was getting better by the minute. We stayed at the Jameson Inn which is right across from a grocery store and a yummy little Mexican restaurant. Guess what we had for dinner???? Did I mention that it was Aunt Pat's birthday. The aunts stayed in one room and Ashely and I controlled the circus. The children had a blast! I was so excited for them to see snow for the first time. I must say, we saw some of the biggest snowflakes I have ever seen at dinner that night! There was only one other couple in the place. Good thing because we were loud. It's crazy that we were in Spring attire the day before!?!? It was actually a fun little trip! Once we got to my parent's house we enjoyed a little fun in the snow!
