Happy Thanksgiving

I'm making the trek to Shreveport tomorrow with the girls for Thanksgiving. Borrowed a DVD player for the car from a friend. Should make the trip a little easier. We gotta get one of those.
Scott is having Thanksgiving tomorrow in Afghanistan. Should be interesting.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Count your blessings.

the Ashland, almost home. 

My Southern Home

Well, we're building a house, it's official. The plans and our neighborhood is on southerhomes.com, Tallow Creek, the Ashland is our house.
I signed the contract today, picked out colors and stuff with the help of my fab MIL and they start building next month. Should be ready late March or early April. I picked a purty brick and nifty countertops and flooring and all. Scott is the best for trusting me to do all this with him away. I have a terrific family.
I other news, Molly is in Lafayette at her Aunt Amy's house. She couldn't care less about me. She waved bye to me while looking straight ahead at the road. She's having a blast. Katie doesn't understand where Molly is -- I can tell. She went in Molly's room and looked up at her bed, like "where'd she go?" Last night she started dancing and holding her index finger in the air. She did it at the model home today and GiGi got to see. Too funny.
I'm posting a pic of the model finished house. It's not the same brick or anything, but will give an idea, you know.

'tis the season to be shopping

Man, I got all my kid Christmas shopping done today. I am so done. Now I just have adults (and a couple outfits to order online for Molly and Katie, but I dont' count that, since it's online). This is a nice feeling, it's the middle of November and no more toys to buy.
