The Most Wonderful Time

It really is the most wonderful time of the year! We have been doing our best to get in the Christmas spirit around here.  
The dining room in all of her glory.

Carl's Granny made these in 1972.  
I will never not put them out!

Wrenley's manger.
These are cloth and just for her to play with!

Somehow, I didn't get any pictures of my living room tree except this one:

Our handsome Boone

One day as I was walking out of a local store Carl called me and said that he wasn't "felling right" and needed to go to the doctor.  In reality we probably should have gone to the ER, but we opted for the clinic.  He really thought he was having a heart attack.  His blood pressure was through the roof!  They did all kinds of test and sent us home.  We got a call later that he had not had a heart attack, but he was supposed to see a cardiologist in Little Rock on Friday.  They gave him some medicine to lower his bp.  It helped some but when we saw the cardiologist, he wanted to set him up for an angiogram.  So, Monday morning we headed in for that.  
He was ready to feel better.

Thankfully everything was fine.  No blockages! He felt 110% better after he left and hasn't felt bad since.  We go back the second week in January for a check-in with the cardiologist, but we are praying that he just needed to be back on his blood pressure meds.  Thank you, Jesus!

We had our first Christmas (my dad's siblings) on the 9th.  We also had a funeral that day.  A sweet elderly lady in our church passed away.  Then my sweet little Wrenley got sick with Cov*d. It was just a lot of heavy-ish stuff at the beginning of the month.   Makena will be home later this week, and I can't wait to have my babies under one roof again :)

Wrenley at school a day before she got sick.
She is such a happy baby girl!

We are hoping and praying that we can all stay well for the rest of the month!

Much Love,
Beth

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...
