With A Rebel Yell...

No, I am not dead. No, I did not quit my blog.
These are answers to my most FAQ the last 2 weeks.

Now that that is out of the way, I have more to blog about than possible. I hate when that happens- when so much is going on that you want to write about- that you don't even have time to do it. SO, instead, I am stalling. I am honestly dreading going through all of the Christmas pictures that I took because I am my mother's child. I took over 500 pictures in 5 days. Yike. How did I take these pictures, you ask? Well, with my Christmas present from K, of course. My Canon Rebel. My new baby. 

Oh, I love it.

Freak. Out. One. Time. 

I am truly enjoying learning how different lights are to be shot, and that a good camera makes a big difference. Who knew? I just have the best little subject. A very happy baby girl who is now 5 for 5 sleeping through the night in her own crib. It's such a wonderful feeling to go to bed for the night- although I have to say, I do miss our snuggles. Maybe I'll reserve co-sleeping again for Saturdays and Sundays :) 

To prevent my next post from being days long, I'll now give you with a few pictures from my trip to Knoxville to see my bestie. She just had her second child, a boy, Sam. Oh my chunky. He is the sweetest, sleepiest, softest little man in the world. I love him, so. Cham loves him too- as you'll see in the pics: 

I haven't seen Wi in over a year and a half, so it was a well overdue trip. We cooked, drank wine, caught up, played Apples to Apples and baby swapped all weekend. It was divine. Can't wait for matching Christmas jammie pictures every year. Eeeeeee! 

Garth Brooks was amazeballs- the only picture I have is from a phone:

And the only video I have will never be seen. You can hear me yeehawin' and singin' off key in the background. Whoooops. 

I am so thankful that the wee one travels so well, and has perfected her schedule. Yes! Speaking of travel... K and I have been in this house a month and have not spent more than 5 days here in a row. Not one relaxing weekend. Therefore- on the way up to Chickamauga (yes, that's a real place) we made and shook on a pact- no traveling for 2 months. We can go and do as we please, but we will not pack an overnight bag for two. whole. months. We will sleep in our bed for 60 days straight. Whoa. Ya'll are welcome to come to our new abode anytime. But we will not be staying at yours for a while. I feel so good to know that. Ahhhh.....

For now, I am going to unpack. this. house. It is pretty much unpacked, but there is nothing on the walls, and there are still bags of clothes on Cham's closet floor that need to be hung up or put in drawers. Or boxed up because they are too little. SO. SAD. Maybe I will go do that while she is napping. 

Maybe tonight- if you're lucky- I'll throw together a Christmas post. There are so many pictures to go through! My parents will be in town, so I am sure they will have no problem holding, kissing, squeezing, changing playing, laughing and loving little miss C while I sort through and post the pictures. 

They are flying out west to see my sister tomorrow... ... ... ... ... ;) 

Until Next Time,
