My Cup Runneth Over

Cal's mother Suzan and Grandmother (Cal's Dad's mother) came to visit this weekend. We had dinner here Friday night and then woke up on Saturday and had a nice morning drinking coffee and telling stories. Grandmother always inspires me with her testimony and faith in Christ. I always love hearing her stories and the missions for Christ that she accomplishes in her community. We then went to Hobby Lobby while Cal was at work and had a blast. Cal got off work around noon and we took them to eat at the Bham favorite "Zoe's" then went to see my school and classroom. After the eventful day, Grandmother, Suzan and I went for a nice walk around the neighborhood then came back to freshen up for dinner. We went to "Little Savannah" for dinner- it was amazing!!! This Sunday was the 1st Sunday of Lent and it was very special to take communion with Suzan and Grandmother. Grandmother cried and said that she hopes and prays that Cal and I live long enough to take communion with our grandchildren one day. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said "My cup runneth over". Of course, I couldn't hold back the tears either. Grandmother and Suzan: "Our cups runneth over"- We love you and we appreciate the effort that you both made to come and spend time with us.

SNOW came to Bham this morning! I felt like a little kid at Christmas!!!

Of Course- we HAD to build a snowman- I can't remember the last time I built one- it was so much fun- Cal and I acted like little kids throwing snowballs and rolling snowballs in the snow!

Our House- with Kaleb (our neighbor's little boy) running through the yard!Grandmother, Me and Suzan before church We HAD to make Snow-ice-cream this morning! So much fun!!!!

Adair Flair

As I was posting this morning on other people's blogs that I do not even know- it occurred to me that our family's full name was right out in the open for all to see. That made me a bit uncomfortable, so I have changed things around so that only our 1st names will be available to the public. This is still our "family" blog- but mostly my own personal on-line diary. I got the name for the blog from the always endearing term that my husband uses to describe my undying, sometimes extravagant, need to accessorize excessively when dressing! haha! He always says- "Gotta add the "Adair Flair"!!" I thought that would be an appropriate title for the blog- since the blog is just that- my "Adair Flair"

Here is the Webster's dictionary definition of the word "flair"- which I find to be all too perfect! :)

1. a skill or instinctive ability to appreciate or make good use of something

2. a uniquely attractive quality

What do ya'll think? good title???

Babies, Babies!!
