Thirty One And Counting

What an eventful week! We started off the week by celebrating my 31st birthday. I had a great day. I got to hang out with John Thomas all day and he was so playful and happy. After Jason got home, he cooked dinner for me. He also ordered very delicious red velvet cake and sang me the happy birthday song. Yes, he even stopped by the store to pick up candles so that I could make a wish. I wonder if you still get your wish if one of your candles is on backwards?
Perhaps the best birthday gift of all was that Charlotte Mae McAffry was born on my birthday. After being in labor for what seemed like an eternity, Sarah had Charlotte around 10 o'clock on Monday night. I was able to go over and see her on Tuesday. At 8 lbs. 4 oz., she is a precious and healthy little girl.
On Thursday, we loaded the car to the brim and headed to west Tennessee to spend some quality time with Jason's grandparents and great grandmother (a.k.a. granny). JT did great in the car and even slept through the night after we got there. He loved being the center of attention and everyone absolutely adored him.
John Thomas was such a ham for granny. She will be 96 this year and after raising several kids, grand kids and great grand kids, she still has the touch. It warmed my heart to see her get so much joy out of making our little boy smile.
Here is the whole gang. Left to right: Granny, Molly, Mama June, Jason, JT, Dillon, Grandfather Joe, Rodney, Micah, Becky, Jared and Chester. Chester loves being on the farm as much as we do. I think we all had a great time but we're happy to be back at home and back into the swing of things.
