First Queens Hunt

The McCormick men had their first hunt at Queens Plantation today and they couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  The weather was cool, crisp and sunny and the sky was full of clouds of ducks.  


The season just opened last weekend so Matt is a very happy man right now.  Definitely his favorite time of year.  It's my favorite time of year too but for a different reason.  It's not technically the Christmas season for 2 more days but that didn't stop us from getting our tree.  We started getting a real one last year so getting it the weekend before Thanksgiving is becoming our new tradition so I can have Matt to help get it up.

I know I am going to be so excited when we get back from spending 3 nights at the camp that it is all done.  I love this time of year and can't wait to watch it through the kids eyes again.

Toledo Bend 2019

Image
We had a great 2 night mini vacation on Toledo Bend for New Years Eve. We’ve spent it celebrating with Shanon and Alex for 9 or 10 years now (something like that I think!) 😊 And every year it gets better. Most of this trip was spent fishing and hanging out. We set yo-yos when we got there and woke up Monday morning to a catfish on the line.  Look at the excitement on Katie’s face!  So, after Shanon and Matt ran to Walmart for more bait, the rest of the day was spent sitting around on the deck and fishing (and drinking mimosas of course)  Logan loved hugging the dogs. It was the sweetest! Katie had never caught a fish before and she caught 3 in 5 minutes. We got a total of 15 and that was enough for Matt to fry (first meal in his new Christmas fryer) to go with our black eyed peas, cabbage and cornbread on New Years Day.  The house the great, the scenery was beautiful and the fishing was fun. But the best part was that we were all together. Happy New Year!

Our Family Is Growing!!!

That's right! Matt and I are having another baby! I'm pretty sure everyone that reads has already heard but this blog is a record of our lives so of course I had to include it.  I had my 3rd doctors appointment and ultrasound today at 10 weeks.  His or her heartbeat is very strong (166 at 7 weeks and 184 today) and measuring ahead of schedule.  Another big baby! We told Lilli a couple of weeks ago and she is excited although I'd bet she doesn't really get it.  We've explained that we will be the baby's Mama and Daddy too and that he or she will live with us and she seems to understand. I'm sure it's not going to fully sink in until he or she arrives though.  She is very sweet and always saying she wants to buy toys and clothes for the baby while we are in stores and says she's going to teach him or her "how to play." Her teacher asked me today if we knew what we were having but I told her we still had a few weeks.  She laughed and said ...

First Day of School

Image
Today started like they have the last few months. There was no mad rush to get ready or first day jitters. I was up early with Katie not far behind and Lilli was up about 7:30. I drank coffee while watching the news and fixed them breakfast before leaving for my walk about 7:45. I got back about 8:40 and took a quick shower and was in the classroom right at 9:00. That’s our plan for start time for the year because we all decided we may as well get that benefit from it! Of course we had to start the day with the obligatory 1st day pics. 😉 When I thought we were done they decided they had to go grab masks and backpacks for one last picture because they didn’t want to be left out of that for this year. Although they may have just been stalling, lol. We start with The Pledge, My Country ‘Tis of Thee, a prayer and Bible lesson everyday. One of the many benefits of this curriculum. I decided to break the first day up over 2 days to ease in to it so we only worked until 11:00. The prerecorde...
