The Clarks

Today in Oxford

If you look closely you can see the Col. Reb on the backside of Lorelai's Ole Miss dress!! We had a fantastic time eating Bottle Tree with Jason and Lisa then strolling around the Square! We hit Abner's before we left for lunch with Keith... I'm convinced that I gained 10 pounds eating this weekend!

Time Out Funnies

Lorelai is getting her first tastes of "Time Out" and they don't phase her a bit. Last night she did a one minute stint in the time out chair, and when Rusty brought her back in the living room she proudly announced "White, I back! Mama, I back!" (The "White" is for Snow White which was playing on the TV). We laughed until tears ran down our cheeks... she's a funny little charmer and she knows it!

A few weeks ago she was sent to time out for kicking Seuss, pretty much just like a soccer ball. And, when I was telling her grandparents about it the next morning she proudly announced "Kicked Seuss" (while reenacting the leg swing) and then quickly followed by "Sorry Seu".

A Tradition Lost

We'll be in The Grove this weekend, but "From Dixie with Love" will not. I'm sad. Rusty and I danced to this at our wedding, I always tear up a bit when it's played in The Grove and now it's gone. I want Lorelai to go to Ole Miss when she grows up, but at this rate Ole Miss will be gone too and The University will be far from the great memories we have of it.

Addresses

My address book has disappeared. I've looked everywhere, but no luck.... it's a goner. If you want a Christmas card send your address to:

In the news....

How adorable are Rusty and Lorelai? This is too sweet!

Thanks to our Grandpas (and all other military) for their service, because of them our little girl can be whatever she wants to when she grows up.

$1 Pizza and $1 Beer

We went out for $1 Pizza and $1 Beer for Paul's Birthday last night!! Happy Birthday Paul!

One More Halloween Picture

 


Lorelai stayed with her grandparents after trick-or-treating while I went out to two Halloween parties... Paul dressed up as a sad clown! We didn't win the costume contest... but still FUN TIMES!!

2 Year Stats

Lorelai visited the pediatrician this morning for her two year-old well baby visit! I'm pleased to report that our little super model is in the 97th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. She's a whopping 36.5 inches tall and weighs 27 pounds! She's right on track with everything, sang her ABCs for the doctor and also recited her Christmas wish list after we told her that Dr. Donnelly is good friends with HoHo (Lorelai's name for Santa)!

Oh, and we also got the H1N1 flumist vaccine for her. Vaccines always make me a bit nervous, but hopefully it will keep her safe this flu season.

Happy Birthday Mom!

 

THIS IS IT

My mom and I saw THIS IS IT tonight. And, IT was genius. We were on the edge of our seats, tapping our toes the whole time. I've always found Michael Jackson very inspiring, and this was no exception.

Back when I was in high school, it was just my mom and I living in New Jersey (Derek was gone to college, and my dad was living in Virginia on business). Anyway, we had a bit of fun in our no-boys-allowed-all-girls-club-house.... well, when Titanic came out we LOVED it, and saw it like 10 times on the big screen... occasionally on school nights followed by Dairy Queen for dinner.... there are certain cinematic experiences that must be seen on the big screen, and THIS IS IT is one of them (just like Titanic was)... if Lorelai were a bit older I have a feeling that we would be at the theatre every night for the next two weeks!

Greetings from Meemi & Pa's

 


Lorelai has had a fantastic time staying with her grandparents this week while I've been on my work conference in Memphis!
