Weekend away

This weekend Jeff and I spent our first long weekend away from Allie, and as much fun as we had, it was really hard being away from her for so long.  We went to Rosemary Beach for our friend Mark's wedding, it was a gorgeous wedding, great weather, and we got to hang out with some great friends.

The bride & groom






But we could not wait to get home to this sweet little face


And if it's even possible, I think Jeff may have missed her more than I did.  He was literally counting the minutes on the plane ride home. He kept asking "how many more minutes until I see Allie?"  And we had a wonderful lazy Sunday just hanging out as a family.


I brought Allie a present back from the beach, her first pair of Tom's, how cute are they?!?! I just couldn't resist.


If you don't know about Tom's, check out their website and learn more about them, it's a great company with a great cause.  


Allie had a blast at her Grandma & Popp's house and I know they loved spending so much time with her.  But I'll be honest, it's gonna be a long time before I leave her for that long again, I missed her WAY too much!!


Congratulations to Mark & Allison, and thank you for a great weekend!!

David Arms art gallery opening

I'm a little late in blogging this but better late than never.  A couple of weeks ago we went to Leiper's Fork for the grand opening of my uncle's art gallery.  For those of you that don't know, my uncle is an extremely talented christian artist in Nashville.  You can check out his work here.  I'm sure you've all seen the 'igbok' bumper stickers while driving around (no matter where you live...they're everywhere!), that's also my uncle.  You can read more about that and get your very own bumper sticker and other igbok products here.


His gallery is amazing, but I didn't expect anything less.  We had a great time visiting with family and Allie got to spend some good quality time with Granny & Papa.










Halloween

Allie wasn't a huge fan of her costumes this year, but being the good parent that I am, I forced her wear them long enough for me to get a picture. I felt bad for a second for torturing her, but she'll thank me for it later.  Maybe.


Here's my little pumpkin.


And about 5 seconds later....


And the night before Halloween she was a flower.  Such a beautiful little blossom :).  Before you call DCS on me for letting my 2 month old 'sit' on the back of a couch, I assure you that her dad was holding her, notice his arm on the right side?  She was fully supported...I swear :).


We went to my friend Gina's house for a little Halloween party and trick or treating, even though Allie can't technically trick or treat yet.


The DeJean cowboys...

And me and my little pumpkin...


I hope you all had a happy and safe Halloween!
