Blooms, a Baby Hog and My Little Helper

Weekend before last I finally bought poinsettias for the house.
I found a pretty red one for the kitchen...

And a pink one for our bath...

And while I was at the store, I bought a Christmas cactus...I have one in my office which is blooming already, but the one at home doesn't have any buds. Well, that problem is now rectified.

I am so excited because our paperwhites are also starting to bloom and are making the kitchen smell wonderful and our amaryllis is also beginning to open...hopefully everything will still be blooming for Christmas.

This past weekend, I was a baby hog. Charles and I went to Oxford for lunch with Matt and Mary Ann and Nathan. (It was delicious; you did a great job Dillons!) Nathan has grown so much and is just so cute! I spent pretty much the whole afternoon holding him. Then we stopped by Mama and Jerry's on the way back to Hernando and Shane (Jerry's son) and Donna (Shane's wife) and Jordan (their son who they adopted this Spring) were there, so I got to spend the evening holding a baby too! Although I must say that Charles had a pretty good time entertaining Jordan while he was on his pallet, and Jordan thought Charles was just too funny! Jordan is a little cutey too and so tall...after MANY pictures, we all went out for dinner and then Charles and I headed home.


This evening, I wrapped a few Christmas presents and had the best little helper...Toula
