I feel like these days we hardly have time to sit down. It's great being so busy, though. We were supposed to be in Charleston this weekend for a big SuperBowl Party but changed our plans. On Saturday, we attended sweet Hodges beautiful service. There really are no words. Dallas and I were filled with tears and emotion. Seeing their strength is amazing. His slideshow was gorgeous. What a special little man he is to so many people. There is nothing quite like a child's funeral. As a mother, sitting there, as a Christian, so many things cross your mind and heart. The preacher was amazing at putting everything into perspective and giving everything a place. I just feel so lucky to have met him.
We left the funeral and headed to Atlanta to meet Boo, Gigi, Papa, D & Reesie (we missed my nephew's 3d ultrasound since it was during the service) for dinner. Checkout baby coop's pics here. Oh my gosh, they are so cute. He's smiling! Sticking out his tongue!! He is SO ready for his modeling debute with his favorite Aunt! HE is really, really cute. Great story Dallas and I missed: During the ultrasound Reese was in Gigi's lap. As they would all say "Look at his little hands! Oh, Look at his toes..." Reese would grab my mom's face and physically turn her to look back at her and say "Yook at me Gigi, Yook at me!!" O.M.G. Not good...
I think she is worried about losing her BFF...
SHe later fell out in Gigi's lap (finally giving Penn some Gigi time...)
My little cheeser...she is our entertainment. It's kinda sad but we all (ALL) just stare at her and pay attention to her every need. Even Boo and D just watch her eat. Can't wait to add another little lovebug to our mix...
We all headed home, Reese cracked us up the whole way. Yesterday after church we went to eat and then got ready for a small Super Bowl shin dig.
Rebbecca, Taylor, Jill & Jeremy all came over and oops us girls never actually watched the game. We chatted for 3 hours straight! Fun! The guys disappeared into the basement while we just caught up. So much fun! Thanks Gigi for letting Reesie spend the night!
I think Penn's got a tough fight ahead of him for Gigi time. If Reese has anything to do with it, he won't get any. She was so sweet during the ultrasound and I'm glad she was able to come with us.
