Have you seen them?

The latest news from the street is that Napkin Boy and Napkin Girl are missing.
Word is that they have been sleeping in a drawer and no one has seen them in a while.






If you have seen them, you are urged to contact your local table. We hope they are safe and will be back to keep laps everywhere free from crumbs and spills.

Friendship

We have missed our dear friends! We are so thankful you are back from your Road Trip!!
Can you tell you were missed?
There is nothing like having someone you can play with who understands your love for certain toys, clothes and your moods.God has truly blessed this friendship! Trinity , Ceanna (I am sorry I never got a picture of you!) and Taylor Marie are the girls. They love to wear pink, dress-up, and play with dolls.

Elijah and Gavin are the boys. They play with cars, football, soccer, and anything they can get their hands on. We met this fabulous family when Gavin and Elijah were on the same soccer team last Fall. They both "clicked" and so did the parents.

What an answer to a prayer! God knew what we needed and he delivered. We will never be able to express how blessed we are to have you in our lives! Thank you Jesus!

Saturday Mornings

Welcome to Farmers' Market at the Factory of Franklin! This awesome gathering of local farmers/craftsman is how we start our Saturday mornings. We love supporting our community! We love Hatcher milk, local honey, fresh veggies and fruits, and local meats. What a great way to show our children about giving back to your community.
Not only do the children love the food, they also love the live music! There is a great band of local talent showcasing their skills. This is always a hit with my two music lovers. One would think the 100+ heat would detour this love of music and fun at the market, however we keep coming and enjoying it all!

Now once we leave the market, we need to conquer a home repair task. This involves our "you can do any task you set out to do" store, Home Depot. Who doesn't love the Depot? Well, if you think our two could not possibly love a store that is "way over their heads" you are wrong! As you can see, you just need the FUN cart!

Daddy's Home

There is nothing like it!!! When daddy comes home-it almost compares to Christmas morning! You would have thought he hung the moon (well he really did-we all know that!) the way we all react to his homecoming. I just love the sound of excitement in their voices when they hear the chimes of the door opening. Today when Chris got to his parents house (where we were), the house was filled with happiness! He can not get too far without the children right there (as seen in photos). Can you tell they are all in the same chair together?

A Day of Play

One of the MANY blessings of being a SAHM is the endless amounts of play/learning opportunities I have. Gavin and TaylorMarie LOVE to play as much as I do, so guess what 90% of our day is filled with. We have been spending our days with Grammie (she is recovering from back surgery and we are her therapy) and she is amazed at how they never bother to ask if the TV can be turned on. We just do not turn it on and therefore A LOT of playing/learning gets done around here. I LOVE my job!!!

Our "Buster-Boo-Bear" is Four

Gavin was on the bobcat helping his Papa tear up our driveway a couple of weeks ago. We were tired of the blacktop in our backyard that we were not using and decided to get rid of it. Only now we have a bunch of gravel. If anyone has a dumptruck full of topsoil just bring it our way. Gavin has also joined the world of ATV riding, bike riding and golf since his birthday on June the 18th. Hard to believe he is already 4. He is learning to ride and swing the clubs.

The Fourth of July with our Friends

Here are some pictures of the Jackson's and the Reid's at the Eads' 4th of July party. We had a great time that night. Always good to see our friends out and about with their little ones. We really don't get to as often as we like.
