Catching Up

In a nutshell --- Andi and Big Guy gave me this lovely plaque to hang in the ice cream shop. It says:

Bits & Pieces

established in memory of my dad

Carroll Edmondson

who loved ice cream until the day he died. As you can imagine, the tears fell freely and I was so happy to hang it where

I will see it everyday. It made the decor perfect. It's hard to explain how much my

dad loved ice cream, but without a doubt, it was his favorite food EVER.

Andie & Zac came over for a little baby shower and went home with about 20 outfits for the still unnamed grandbaby coming our way. Don't worry. I didn't make pictures of all of them. Andie is doing well and everything looks great for the baby. We are so thankful for that.

I've found a baby calendar is SO much more easy to keep filled in than a book, so Zac was happy to get that.

But he really loved these cool rainboots.

I can imagine summertime pictures in this outfit.

Sophie is getting smarter every day and will horribly dismayed to learn that although she has major plans to go to kindergarten next year, she will miss the cut off date by 15 days, making her wait another full year. I won't be sorry, but she will probably have an attitude much like

Keegan -- who loves yogurt, but NOT when he has to wear a bib.

Sunday, Bill took the kids to Holiday World while I worked on things for the shop. We have an opening date coming up real soon, so it's crunch time around here. And I don't mean the stomach type!
