Hummingbird

Ladson and I went to Jamaica a couple of years ago (before kids) and I fell in love with this drink. I am NOT a liquor drinker (mostly beer and wine for this girl!) All they had was red stripe...Jamaica go figure.. I liked this drink because you can't taste the liquor...that might be a good or bad thing!

Enjoy!!

INGREDIENTS
1 fluid ounce rum cream liqueur
1 fluid ounce coffee flavored liqueur
1 fluid ounce milk
1/2 fluid ounce strawberry flavored syrup
1/2 banana
1 cup crushed ice

Anna Grace

One of my favorite dresses. My Aunt made it for Mary Reilly. I have been waiting for Anna Grace to fit into it. It's a little big because I let the hem out. I figure it doesn't matter how long it is since she doesn't walk.

Anna Grace is almost 7 weeks old. She only wakes up once a night (even with cereal) I think it is time for her to sleep in her crib now. We have been sleeping in our room next to the bed. I had to take her to the doctors last week and she weighs 9 pounds now. We do have a hit or miss morning nap down. If I am lucky she takes another one while Mary Reilly sleeps.

Good morning

I tried to get the MR to look at me. When the TV is on there is no chance.

Just wishing you a happy Monday!

(We will be getting dressed today)

Ladson's next assignment will be Aberdeen proving ground Maryland. I don't know much about it but I am in the process of researching it.

Pictures above are Mary Reilly playing at the playground behind our house yesterday.

I am an Aunt!

Congrats to Sterling and Leslie. Sterling is Ladson's brother. They had a baby boy today at 12:44 pm. Thomas Sterling Greene Mills Jr. 7 lbs. 13 oz. Can't wait to meet him!

WOW PICTURES!!!

Someone found daddy's cowboy hat

Anna Grace (Five weeks old)

I made cupcakes. She loved them!

Mary Reilly on the potty!!

Gotta have a monogram! If you don't know me I pretty much have a monogram on everything.

Anna Grace's Crib

Anna Grace turns one month. Thanks to Beth for the idea!


I finally got a memory card reader. I cant find my USB cord. Oh well. It will turn up one day.

Next move

Today is the day Ladson sits down with his branch manager and talk about where they will send him next. We have different opinions on where we want to go. If it was up to him we would go to Alaska. I hate the cold. I really don't think 15 below and 3 hours of sunlight is fun. After much "discussing" this is our picks. This was a really crappy list.

First choice: Ft. Stewart, GA
Second choice: A unit in Germany
Third choice: A unit in Hawaii
Four choice: A unit in Germany
Fifth choice: Ft. Lewis, Washington

We wont know actually where we will be going (maybe) until Friday. The Army is unpredictable!

80% of Ladson's classmates will be unhappy today (or when they find out where they are going). Please pray that we will be the 20%.
