Our Family is Complete!






No lectures. I know I am behind again. TaMara, Matt, and Zack arrived August 16th to our home! We are so happy making up for lost time with each of them.....especially Zack. Their being here has added life back to our home. I did not realize how boring our empty nest was! There are some pictures (finally) attached of our trip to Savannah in early August. We just wanted to get away one last time before I started back to work. It really is a lot like Charleston.
We wanted to go to Paula Deen's place but the community kind of discouraged it. They said it was always so crowded (2 hour waits) and not as glamorous as you pictured. It was true. We rode by it and peered inside. It was just okay. Another place that was recommended by the towns people was the Wilkes House. The owner passed away about 2 years ago. Anyway, I think this is the place Paula Deen may have copied. We went in the 100 plus year house in the basement area. We only waited an hour. You go in with 12 people and all sit at one table. They bring out about 15-20 dishes with different meats, veggies, and starches in them. All made from scratch and Southern. It was wonderful and like going back in time. You definitely did not have to eat again the rest of the day.

Since going back to work, I can hardly get anything done. It is just wonderful to come home and be greeted with hugs and kisses from Zack. He adores and loves his Grandaddy Dennis. He helps Grandaddy pick the garden. He tells Dennis, "We have to go get the harvest." Of course, Dennis first put him up to saying that.....and many other things. I don't know what we are going to do when they buy a home or build one. They may build one here on the family property. That is a big decision to live so close to us.:)

Zack has had a very bad cold this past week and is on an antibiotic. It was hard to see him so sick. He still kept being the sweet, fun child he is though.
My little business has really taken off now that I am back at work. I have to take this Thursday off to handle one sale this week. Then I have another one on the 27th and one on Oct. 11th. The USC games were going to be to hot and aggrevating to find a place so I decided against that. Other than all of the above, everything else is fine. I am trying to do better at all this.:) Love to all!
