just life around our home

trevor is technically savannah's boyfriend

but

he's also very special to someone else in our family.

earlier in the school year, caroline wrote a paper about "someone special".

her teacher contacted me to let me know that her someone special just might need to read this.

recently he celebrated his birthday & caroline presented him with her precious paper.

growing up in a house full of girls, she enjoys he kind and attentive he is with her...

& they share a common love for UT football!

the mid weeks of november i always feel a bit conflicted.

while i never want to rush through thanksgiving, i do start to feel the itch to start pulling out the christmas decor.

i've said this over & over the last couple years,

but i really plan on keeping it very simple this year.

so simple in fact, that i just might repost images from last year's decorations

& call it a day!

i'll have you know there will be no decorations up before thursday though.

so here are just a few random shots from around the house, probably from a few weeks ago~

caroline has requested yet another batch of edie's famous tomato soup

this week while she's out of school.

& ya'll, i have to share this funny story.

the other day i brought in my enormous loaded laundry basket of 

farmers market fruits & veggies.

i set it down on the kitchen floor ( a little to heavy to lift to the counter)

& walked away for just a moment.

when i walked back through the family room to put away all my goodies

this

is what i found....

& NO, he was not asleep.

brinkley loves his veggies & i guess he just figured he thought he needed a snack.

poor fella, he knew he was busted

& just laid there in his shame

probably thinking as many a family member before him

..."is she seriously going to put this on the blog?"
