No more pictures!

Mack is usually a happy baby unless he is doing something he doesn't want to do, gets this from his Mama I think. Well, he did not want to try to capture that perfect Christmas card picture today like his parent's did. Here is an out-take from the photo shoot.



Also, we have a new address. If you need it to send us a Christmas Card (please do!), email me and I will send it to you...kateloftingilreath@gmail.com

We're Back!

We have been MIA in the blogging world lately. Our computer crashed just a few days before we moved and we are just now getting back online. Mack is gearing up for his first Christmas. He helped us unpack the ornaments for the tree...

And today he went to meet Santa for the first time....

We are so excited about his first Christmas in just a few weeks!

Other things going on in the world of Mack...
-still no teeth but he is drooling like crazy and puts everything in his mouth
-he is learning to use a sippy cup and starting to try to pick up foods on his own
-he is trying so hard to crawl, he wants to so bad but can't seem to get his stomach off the ground
-he hates wearing socks, pulls them off every time I put them on him
-loves to scream and babble all the time, even makes the sound "Da-Da", which Jim loves

Moving!

We are moving for the 3rd time in 13 months this weekend! The funny thing about this move is that we are moving back to our home in Simpsonville that we left 13 months ago. Along with packing this week, I have been cleaning like a mad woman. We are renting a home now and our landlord is not necessarily the nicest or most sain person you have ever met. That being said we have to leave the house just as we found it to receive our deposit back. I want that deposit!!

Let me first say that I keep a clean house, or so I thought. If you know my mom, you know I get this honest. Well, I have realized this week that there are so many places in a house that need some cleaning attention that I have not been giving. I challenge you all to take a look at your baseboards, under your stove and frig, your bathroom drawers, behind your washer and dryer, the tops of pictures on the wall and your tv, I could go on and on, it is just plain disgusting. I thought my house was clean until I started this project. Well it is all clean now and I guess I will be doing the same thing next week to our home, as I am sure our renters were not as thourough.

Please think about us this weekend as we move!

Mack's Baptism

Last weekend we had Mack's Baptism in Aberdeen at St. Mark Methodist Church. It was very special to me to have him Baptised in the church where I grew up, this is also the church where my parents met when they were in high school, where they and most of my other family members were married. Jim's family made the trip from South Carolina for the special day and we had a great weekend with our families.

My parents had everyone over for lunch afterwards, the food was great! Thanks to all of our family for making this such a special day for Mack.
