My Baby is 10
The first 10 years went by in a heartbeat.
10 Years ago today I was holding my newborn baby boy, in the hospital room trying to keep the baby cap on his little conehead that my Father-In-Law assured me would go away (of course it did! silly me)
Over the course of the 1st year, I was amazed by this small wonder. Feeding, changing, bathing, rocking, all of these I loved every minute of, but my dearest memories are of the middle of the night feedings, just me and my baby boy... bonding. That wonderful baby smell and the long gazes into each others eyes, communitcating silently to each other.
Over the next years, there were all the firsts... steps, words, running, falling, skinned knees, belbows (this was the pronounciation for elbow from a 2 yr old), even a black eye from standing on a big ball and then crashing down onto the coffee table. And with each first there was the usual breath holding from Bobby and I, watching, listening.
I have tried not to be too sentimental today, but I just can't help it! My one and only child turned 10 today and I just know the next 10 will go by in a heartbeat as well. Love you Nicknick, you in my heart forever!
Birthday Pics... Enjoy!

Ode to Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is a definate Southern Thang and believe it or not living in South Central Florida.. it's hard thang to come by.
Over the close to 4 years we have lived here, at every restaurant we have ate at, when the waitress asks "What would you like to drink?" I always answer, with anticipation... "Sweet Tea" ... her answer (with the exception of Sonny's BBQ and Waffle House) "We don't have sweet tea, we have a Rasberry Tea that is sweet"--- and my hopes are dashed.
*sigh* I sure do miss the South..
** There is even a song about it **
Sweet Tea
By: Cravin' Melon
If you find me sleepin' in the shade dear
Will you promise to bring me all your sweetness
All my plans are hangin' in the palms dear
All my thoughts are lost in Pawley's interest
Rock me gently the waves are softly rollin'
Salty breezes blowin' through the screen dear
Pour me some of your old fashioned magic
I can hear you whispering in my ear
Don't try to offer me anything
What it comes right down to baby
Don't tempt me; I'm where I wanna be
Cause on the eighth day, God made sweet tea
Certain things in life I like to savor
Watchin' clouds and waitin' on the rain
If you ever question my behavior
Just a taste will make you feel the same now
We've known each other goin' on thirty years
Seen a lot of joy; we've seen a lot of tears
Still I wouldn't change a single thing That I did Cause we're here, yea....

...and the A/C gods smiled =)
YAY!! We found an A/C company that will finance our small fortune.
Their cost $4000 but we really don't have a choice in the matter.
The name of the Company is Tiger's One Hour A/C, the owner of the company came out on Monday, gave an estimate and then told DH to come by his house later and pick up a window unit so we could have at least one room cooled until they could get us installed on Thursday! Can you believe it?? The owners name is Wayne and I know he and his company is heaven sent!!
