We had so much fun in Virginia!  I love Justin’s family!  They have totally invited me in as one of their own and I am so thankful for them!  One of the first mornings in Virginia we all went over to Aunt Jan’s (far right) for breakfast.  It was so much fun sitting on the outdoor patio and just chatting it up! This is Tracy and Justin.  Tracy is the female version of Justin and they are bestest of cousins!  They seriously look so much alike it is ridiculous! Just a cute little picture of our nugget! Paige is so beautiful!  She is Justin’s cousin and her and Brock are seriously the cutest couple ever (see picture of him below!) Maisie + Brock = LOVE.  Maisie seriously was in love with Brock (he is Paige’s boyfriend).  She would squeal and crinkle her face into a little weird smile whenever she…

I have always heard those crazy stories of moms who breastfeed while while riding in the car.  I thought I would never do it, but tonight I was forced to maneuver my body into a position where I could reach Maisie.  Go go gadget boob!

Maisie has her first tooth. Need I say more? No, I don’t need to, but of course I will! Maisie got her first tooth about a week ago and I was thinking things were going pretty good as far as her not biting me goes. Until today. She just kept wanting to chomp down AS she was pulling away. Let’s just say it wasn’t a pleasant experience. I firmly told her, “No,” as I pried her little gums open. She burst into tears. She was still hungry, so she went back for more. Not a couple seconds later, she did the same thing, again causing me to react the way I did, causing her to react in the same burst of tears. I felt so bad. I hurt her little feelings when all she was doing was trying to relieve her pain, in turn, causing me pain. It was a…

Hello, hello, hello! It has been way too long! I really haven’t had internet at all here in Virginia. That’s right, I am in Virginia! Anyways, I now have internet at Mimi’s (Justin’s grandma) and it is glorious! Here are some things I have noticed about Virginia. 1. It is beautiful! Fluffy trees. I love the fluffy trees! 2. Boys have cute little accents just like on the movie The Notebook. I have to admit, it can be sort of sexy. Justin can do a great southern accent and I have asked him to use it more often…if you know what I mean! 3. People say, “I reckon.” 4. Friendly people who call Maisie “doll baby.” 5. Racism is still very real here. 6. Justin has wonderful family who I am so thankful for!!!! 7. They have sweet tea at every restaurant. 8. People talk about their cars or trucks…

Don’t do it. We finally decided to go to a movie after nine months of movie theater deprivation and learned our lesson. Enough said.
