We have been very busy this past month with ball pictures and getting ready for Emma Grace's birthday. Wes went to Pittsburgh last month. Originally, he was to be there for a week, but he was only there for three days. We were supposed to go the Peach Festival, but the a/c went out on Wednesday of that week and we were not able to finish up all the stuff for it. Tammy came over to help me, but we couldn't stay in the house. Thank goodness it was fixed in a day. Instead of the Peach Festival, we sat up a booth at the all-star tournament in Winnsboro and did quite well. We took all the younger girls pics except for three teams. One of those teams wanted us to do it, but they lost out before we could take their picture. Wes finished those up this weekend and I will mail them in the morning. I FINALLY finished Emma Grace's birthday invitations. That was a chore, but it was worth it. Grammy and I went to Vicksburg on Saturday to finish up shopping for presents and decorations. Grammy spent WAY TOO MUCH money. I will just say this Emma Grace will not need another pair of pj's til she is 10. She told me she stood up for four days out of week at the ballpark and she could spend her money any way she wanted to spend it. She said she wanted to spend it on Emma Grace. On Sunday, Tammy and Abby came to visit. Abby is going to Dallas on Thursday with her mom, so she will not be able to come to Emma Grace's party on Saturday. She wanted to bring Emma Grace her presents. They went with us to take pictures for the 4th of July cards, which I am currently working on. I am also trying to get all the party stuff together. Looks like a busy week ahead. I am hoping Wes can put up some photos soon. Emma Grace has certainly been entertaining us lately. If she loses her pacifier, she calls out "paapaa, r u". It is so cute. She loves Tammy's dog Shooter. She calls him "Shooo Shooo". She was excited to see Abby yesterday. She hugged and hugged her. She will probably not be happy when they head home today. Tammy is coming back later on in the week to help with the party.

We head to Houston at the end of this month. We will leave on the 27th and head to Biloxi to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Then, if Auntie Kim will have us, we will make our way to New Orleans to see her and then Houston. We are thinking about taking Emma Grace to Kemah, which is south of Houston. It has eating places, shopping, rides and is on the water. We are also looking at going to see the Braves play. We never made it last year, so I want to take Emma Grace this year. She LOVES to play ball. She will get one of her many bats and one of her many balls and say come. She will give you the ball and you pitch it to her. When it hits the bats, she lays the bat down and runs. She will do this over and over. She knows how to hold the bat, so it looks like we have a ballplayer on our hands. I cannot wait for her to play. It is going to be so much fun.

Well, I guess I better get busy making 4th of July cards. Hopefully, Wes can put some photos up soon. Updates should come more frequent now that we shouldn't be as busy as we have been, but who knows. Until next time…… Take care….
