First Starbuck's in Seattle, Washington


Of course Jason has made time to walk to Starbuck's every morning (especially if he can submit the receipt to work!).

I miss Jason....




Jason left for Seattle, WA, early Sunday morning for the ACC Annual Conference (ACC = Association of Corporate Counsel). His schedule is packed (check it out at http://am.acc.com/conference_program.cfm).
I've been teaching a lot of lessons to keep me busy and I've also been working on a scrap book (finally!) with pictures Mom Hildebrand gave me. Check out how Jason looked when he was little, when he graduated from high school, and his "best friend" (Izzy the dog - ha!). I can't wait for him to come back!

Surprise mail









I think my mom is the most thoughtful and generous mom. She has a thousand things to do throughout her day, but she always has time to e-mail us each morning, to answer the phone any time of the day, and to plan ahead to surprise us with such nice and fun things.



It was a great surprise to receive a huge box in the mail today from Dad and Mom! There were three gifts with name tags on each one! Thanks so much, Dad and Mom!! It was fun to receive it today, especially since Jason is away at the ACC Conference in Seattle. (I used to use the orange Halloween bucket to trick or treat when I was younger! It was stuffed with candy for Jason!)

Saturday morning fun with the BGEA ladies!






Jason's co-workers invited me to breakfast this morning at a cute little restaurant at the Arboretum called Le Peeps. They were so kind to treat me to breakfast (yummy Dutch apple/raisin oatmeal and cream cheese and English muffins). They also gave me incredibly generous gifts including baby monitors, diapers, wipes, and an adjustable baby seat for eating at the table. We can really use all those gifts! I felt very special! When I got home Jason and I put the pack and play together that we recently purchased at Babies R Us with gifts we've received from Nana, Aunt Connie & Uncle Jerry, and the Whitleys!

Happy Birthday to you!

Brock was excited about seeing the ice cream dessert!

Notice the cute little girl, Nora, on the left... she loves ice cream.

Brock and Evie
































Jason and I went to Lexington to visit the Godfreys and attend Brock's 2nd birthday party! Brock has a lot of fun little friends and received some great birthday toys. Rebekah made a great kid-friendly menu and had a cool looking chocolate cake and ice cream dessert. It's always fun to hear Brock say, "Aunt Elizabeth," and to see baby Evie look so adorable sleeping against her mom.


Notice that Jason is holding baby Evie! He's practicing for December.

Slideshow....

My very talented sister-in-law (who now is a full-time photographer!) made this beautiful video of Dad and Mom and Rachel and Micah's visit to the U.S. as well as the fun baby shower we had together here in Tega Cay! The little girls are my piano students!

Thanks so much, Candice! What a wonderful gift!!
