Life Changes

So I turned 30 and we purchased a mini van all within the same week. In less than four months, we will have two kids - wow, how life changes!

An Update from the Lemmings Family

So far, October and November have been quite busy for the Lemmings Family. As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. It really was a blow and something very unexpected (but I guess you never expect to get cancer). We have been blessed with many prayers from our family and friends which has helped us get through this. My mom is doing great so far with her treatment and the doctors have given her a great prognosis. We know it will be a difficult couple of months for my Mom, but we are comforted to know that my Mom will be here in the long long future and will be given a fresh start come January!

Because of this, Morgan and I headed to Colorado a few weeks ago for a nice family visit. It was before my Mom began cancer treatment so she had plenty of time and energy to spoil, chase, and love on Morgan. Morgan went to the park a countless number of times with Ma-Ma, Mimi, and Papa. Morgan even went to her favorite restaurant - Chuck E Cheeses. We also spent Halloween in Colorado (see earlier post) and enjoyed the cool Fall weather. One of her favorite songs that week was Old McDonald had a farm......(the video was in the car - you can't see Morgan but you can definitely hear her!)




A week ago, we headed to Auburn for Homecoming weekend and to visit with Brian's Mom and family. Kim gave us great tickets and Brian and I enjoyed watching Auburn play. You would think that going to a game in November would be comfortable, but it was quite warm sitting in the sun watching the game!

This past weekend we took Morgan to her first concert - the Wiggles! We all had a blast. Yes, we all had a blast. I definitely enjoyed watching Morgan as she sat through the concert. Brian and Morgan watch the Wiggles as they get ready for school in the mornings so it was so special to see the Wiggles come to life in front of her eyes. We did come a bit unprepared though - as true Wiggles concert goers know, you need to bring a rose for Dorothy and a dog bone for Wags during the concert. It also doesn't hurt to have your kid dress up as Captain Feather Sword. I hope we are in town and able to go to the next Wiggles concert - Morgan had such a great time we really would like to live that experience again.

We are looking forward to Thanksgiving next week and the Christmas season. Morgan is at a great age and ready to understand how special this time of year really is.

SPF with your turkey?

My Aunt sent this to me today. I thought it was hilarious. To make, cut foil in the appropriate 'shape', carefully place, and roast your turkey as usual. Not sure if actually works, but worth a shot!

Happy Roasting and Happy Thanksgiving.
