Back home to Jackson....

This is my favorite picture from the whole month in Birmingham!!!

....So, we're finally home and settled back in. Clothes are washed and things are unpacked, and I've finally gotten a chance to post pictures from the month in Birmingham. We had a great time staying with Jeremy's cousin, Wendy, and her son, Justin and husband, Randy. They live on a farm right outside of Chelsea, about 15 miles from Birmingham. We stayed in their remodeled basement. It was like having our own hotel suite, but better. However, I was so glad to get back to my own bed with no kids sleeping in my room!!! We shared a room with the boys sleeping on air mattresses on the floor. They did great, though, we just all ended up going to bed around 10:30 since we were all in the same room. Since we were in the basement we had no windows, and when Garrett would wake up he would say, "Is the sun up, Momma?" I would lie and say, "No, go back to sleep." It worked for the first couple of weeks, then I think he caught on. But, they have been sleeping later now! We did not "live" the whole month in the basement (although sometimes I'm sure they wish they could have locked us - or the boys - in the basement!) Wendy and I took turns cooking supper, and sometimes we would swim after Jeremy got home. He and the boys would always give the horses treats when he got home from work. We got to go to church with them one Sunday to "The Church at Brook Hills" - loved it! It was just like Pinelake. And, Wendy and I had a girls' day out shopping after church that day. We had such a good time visiting family and getting to know them better. Jeremy did enjoy his month at UAB in Dermatology, and he is planning to pursue Derm. We'll just have to wait and see what happens!! We missed everyone while we were gone. It's good to be back home!

Great catching up. You guy's got to do a lot of fun stuff!! Know what it's like to live in the basement. We've been in our house 1 week now. Doesn't quite feel like home yet, but takes time! k
