Surprising Wake Up Call

This lovely Saturday morning, Dusty & I were awakened bright & early by his cell phone ringing. He didn't answer it first and looked at missed calls and he thought he was seeing things. Then it rang again and he said "You are calling me! Who has your phone?" Of course, he thought I had lost my phone. So I then answer his phone to hear "Good Morning Mom!" Morgan was sitting here on the couch in the living room watching TV! Apparently she had walked into our room this morning and got my phone off the nightstand. What a wake up call that was!!

Welcome Home, Granna!

As I speak, we are headed to the airport to pick up my mom, Morgan's Granna. She has been in Okinawa, Japan for the past five months! Fortunately, we have been able to talk & "see" her regularly via Skype. The marvels of modern technology!

After school, I got some balloons & chocolate cake balls to surprise Mom with at the airport! We are going to eat at El Chico's with Martha once her plane arrives. Pics will be posted soon!

Sponge Brain

I just picked Morgan up from Grandfather's. We passed a charcoal gray Chevy truck that looked like Grandfather's. Morgan said "That looks like Grandfather's truck...except it isn't because it doesn't have a Maltese cross." I just had to laugh! It constantly amazes me what she learns & remembers, just like a sponge she soaks up everything!

Happy Mother's Day!

This morning for Mother's Day, we woke up in our hotel room and watched some toons together. Then, Morgan & I talked to Granna on skype to wish her Happy Mother's Day! This was all before 8:00....because that's when the pool opened! After a late swim last night with a bunch of rowdy boys jumping around and splashing us in a small 4 ft pool, we decided we would try early in the morning! So at 8, we went downstairs for a calm, relaxing swim. It was great....for a little while, we were the only people there! Morgan did great swimming!

Then, we went to Steak & Shake.....one of my faves! Dusty & I used to eat there all the time in Jonesboro since it was right next to campus and across the street from Dusty's apartment! Because there are no Steak & Shake's close to LR, it is always my pick! Here is Morgan in her Steal & Shake attire!











Finally before heading back to LR, we shopped at the Promenade at Pinnacle Hills. We got Morgan a new Hogs t-shirt, a HSM pajama set for her doggy at Build-a-Bear, & I caught a good sale at Nine West & got a new purse!

Now we are on the road headed to NLR to meet Pibby, Dusty's mom for dinner! All in all, we had a great weekend visiting Jonathan & spending time together, just the three of us! I am truly blessed to have such an amazing family that I love dearly! Happy Mother's Day!
