Emily had her fall break this week and I took a few days off to spend some extra time with her. Rowena dropped her off to me Wednesday afternoon at work and had made some cinnamon rolls (sorry no pics, we ate them). You saw the bread and I know your mouths were all watering and the cinnamon rolls were just as fabulous. She and Emily even had a little one for Brylee, which of course I ate on the way to the house that afternoon. Tara was laughing because she called and I was trying to drive, talk on the phone, and eat my cinnamon roll. She asked if I couldn't have just waited til I got home, but Brylee wanted hers right away.
We had a very busy and very fun fall break. Thursday we got up and watched some tv, then went and visited Lindy's class. Emily attended music with them. Then we headed to get Brylee a large diaper bag and I swear I still don't think it is big enough for all the stuff I think I am going to need. We then headed to Dr. Kazmarska's office to talk with her about becoming Brylee's pediatrician. She is very nice and seems to care a lot about the kids. She knew Emily right off the bat. If you have used her or have an opinion I would appreciate it. Brian likes her and so does Emily. My only concern is that should she ever need to be hospitalized she would have to got the BCMC and then bee referred to Vanderbilt, due to Dr. Kazmarska's privileges there. I am a little eerie of that because as you all know I am no fan of BCMC. **Let me know your thoughts** We then met Amanda Crews and headed to the Boro for dinner and a tour of the hospital. I got a little light headed in the delivery room, but I am not a hospital person.
Friday we headed back to the Boro and met Aunt Jennifer and Molly Kate at Chuck E Cheese's. Emily had a ball and got 229 tickets. She was so sweet and shared tokens with all of us. Molly Kate seemed to like the pizza a lot. If Jennifer was to slow about handing her a piece she just reached out and grabbed for what she wanted. We had a ball. I cannot wait to do it again.
Saturday Brian and Emily met up with the rest of the family at Applebee's for a pancake breakfast benefiting St. Judes. Me, Mama, and Tara headed to the craft fair. I did GREAT this year, I bought some gourmet dog treats, Brian a peach fried pie, and two Elf stakes for the yard and had Emily and Brylee placed on their little hats. They are adorable. Tara bought a few things and needed to drop them at the car so I sat on a hay bale and ate some roasted corn and waited for them to return. Then we had some lunch, not as good as it normally is and I never found the peanut brittle for Brian. We left around 1:30, I was still hungry. Emily and I came home and talked Daddy into taking us to Mexican were we ran into Rochelle and Sondra. Rochelle kept tickling Emily on the neck and we had her thinking there was a bug in El Mexico getting her, until she caught Rochelle in the act. We decided that since we canceled the Halloween Party this year that we would roast hot dogs and marshmallows anyway. We got Chance and then built the fire and cooked our dinner.
Sunday we packed our bags for the hospital. I am sure that I have forgotten something so if you have any suggestions of can think of something I may have forgotten please tell me. I had a great helper Emily, checking things off the list and counting down 6 MORE WEEKS! Brian and Emily played horse shoes hung out at the house after that and I ran to T-town with Mama. Guess we will all have to suck it up and go to work tomorrow.
Love You All!

So much to do, so little time...
Well in case you were wondering we have been very busy lately and I feel like there is still so much to do. I am almost finished washing all Brylee's clothes from the shower. Emily has a couple of BIG SISTER shirts that I am getting ready for her. One for our house if she is with us when Ms. Brylee decides to make her debut and one for her to keep at Mommy's house in case she is not. She has been such a big help and I just cannot wait to see the two of them together.
Now, let's see there is just so many things to tell you. I will start with the KENNY! In case you all did not know Kenny Chesney was in Wartrace a few weeks ago shooting a video. I had planned to go over on my lunch break but got busy. Luckily I received this picture from someone who was there.
We headed to the pumpkin patch Sunday with Grandma, Molly Kate, and Chance. Everyone had a really nice time. We had a very bumpy hayride which Molly pretended to be asleep while laying on Grandma's shoulder, but when I looked over she was wide awake just looking around. I think she really enjoyed all the pumpkins. Below is a video on Grandma, Brian, Emily, and Molly searching for the perfect pumpkin.
They also had a glider rope that Grandma and Emily went on.
OK - Now for the funniest story. We went yesterday to get Brylee's travel system from USA Baby in Franklin. Well once we finally decided on the prefect one we approached the counter to find out if it would need to be ordered or if they had it in stock. There was a couple around 50 I would say that was talking to another person behind the counter. The woman was holding a tiny baby and asked the clerk if she would like to hold her. She passed the baby over the counter and the clerk was holding it and looking at it very strangely. Mama, Lindy, and I thought it was very odd that she was passing off this baby to the clerk. As we walked closer to the counter you could see the babies head and a little pink bow in her short hair. Mama says OH HOW PRECIOUS - at which time to our surprise the lady starts to unwrap her from her blanket. The baby appeared to be a very newborn baby lightly colored and of oh so tiny. She then proceeds to tell us...
SHE IS NOT REAL!!!! We all take a closer look at this point Mama is touching the baby and sure as shit, it is a doll. At this point we are all a little confused but whatever. This child looked as real as any baby I have ever seen in my life. Well the sales clerk follows us over to the travel systems as which time she is so flustered she apologized to us but continued to say that she wished the woman, husband, and DOLL would just leave because they creep her out. She said it just was not normal, they were weird.
We are still a little confused at this point only to find out that this woman, whom has two houses in the Franklin area has just purchased TWO: cribs, armories, changing tables, changing pads, covers, bedding sets, and all the other necessities for a new baby for this DOLL! The clerk tells us that she has spend over $5,000 just this visit on the DOLL! We are completely dumbfounded at this point. We pay and are told to go to the back dock to pick up our travel system.
Well guess who else is making a pick up at the back dock with us, oh yes THE DOLL FAMILY! We sent Lindy up to the dock to get our things and are looking around at their vehicle. They had a Dodge truck with a camper over the bed and a large trailer on the back. Mama and I are in the car laughing so hard, we were discussing where the baby was because both the man and the woman were out side at the dock. Mama says she is in her car seat I am sure. I am like whatever, Mama says I'll bet you $10 that doll is in a car seat. So I got out of the car and headed over to the truck acting as if I was checking on Lindy. Well you can bet your ass that DOLL was in the car seat, buckled in, pacifier in her mouth, and wrapped tightly in her blanket.
We are cracking up when Lindy arrives back at the car with our stuff only to inform us that we should have been on the docks. The employees were are freaked out by this couple whom we later found out his name was Steve. Well Steve and his wife had called in advance and wanted the dimensions to each box so that they could carefully plot out how everything would be loaded into the truck and trailer and that this was not there first trip to USA Baby for the DOLL. We were very disappointed with the fact that Lindy had spent so much time up at the docks with these people and never once asked the babies name.
You have to feel a little sorry for them because we have no idea the circumstances, but it was by far the strangest thing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. I called Robyn as we were leaving at which point she informed me to get out of there because she was probably one of those people scoping out the baby store looking for a pregnant mom to kill and take her baby from the womb.

I was informed later the following day while talking to Mama, that Daddy came home talking about how Wartrace was all blocked off and there were police cars everywhere. He said he did not know what was going on. Mama informed him that Kenny was there shooting a video then Daddy realized that it was Kenny walking down the street waving at him as he passed through the town. I should have went to work with Daddy that day.
My shower was last Saturday and we got a lot of GREAT and MUCH NEEDED stuff. Thank you all for everything, it was wonderful. Here is a little collage that Lindy put together for us as well as a picture of me and Emily with the tiny bracelet that we received from The Coop's with her little name engraved on it.
As you can see from the above Ms. Molly Kate was having the time of her life! Claire decided to have some watermelon before she headed home and it was too funny to watch her.

My wonderful husband came home the other night with the dessert of my dreams. I am not a big ice cream person and I have really been wanting hot fudge a lot lately. So I asked him to get me a hot fudge cake sundae from Sonic without the ice cream. He thought I was joking at first but got it anyway. He was just grinning when he walked in the door holding my cup of fudge. He said the girls at Sonic came out several times to confirm his order of a hot fudge cake sundae with no ice cream but extra hot fudge. When the girl finally brought him his order she asked if he was having a major sugar rush, he replied nope got a pregnant wife.
