Mommys Little Sidekick
While making my pie crust I turned to see my adorable sidekick watching with his big beautiful brown eyes.

Thanksgiving Week
Wow, I can't believe it's already turkey time! A year ago I was 9 weeks pregnant and getting ready to fly up to Detroit for Anne and Justin's wedding--time flies!
This year Mike and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our little home and Mr. & Mrs. Schay are coming. I am so excited to prepare my first Thanksgiving meal and roast my first turkey. We will be having collard greens, green beans, bourbon sweet potatoes, Easter potato casserole (a favorite dish of mine that Mrs. Schay makes), cranberry sauce, cloverleaf rolls and of course turkey and stuffing. Dessert will be a fun variety: poppy seed bread (Mike's absolute favorite), bourbon pie, French apple tarte, cherry pie, and pumpkin pie.
I purchased a beautiful mustard yellow table cloth (very French provencial) that will go beautifully with our blue and white china and we'll be using our new S&P shakers that also match perfectly. The table will feel fall and festive but not be all browns and yellows, a little different is good.
I'll post pictures of the table and meal when it's all together! I have run now and take advantage of A.T.'s nap to get some stuff done.

The prophetic planter
When I was 6 months pregnant I saw this planter at one of my favorite antique stores in Atlanta, appropriately named "My Favorite Place". Mike and I bought our coffee table and dining room set here about a week before our wedding. Anywho...I saw this planter and fell in love with it's cuteness believing it most likely represented our own sweet babe. I thought Alan would be round and fat with big eyes just like this planter. So I put it next AT so I could see the similarity and Alan tried to eat it! 
Serving time
Alan chilled in his crib while I folded laundry in his room. I kept getting distracted by his head popping up and down when I would look up.
