For Mother's Day weekend my lovely mother came down from Atlanta. She came on a Friday and Freddy had to work late so we had a good girl's night complete with pizza and a movie(Up in the Air is fantastic by the way). On Saturday we rented a U-haul and pulled it behind the 4Runner all the way up to my Nana and Papa's outside of Helen. We went because they gave us my great grandfather's work table(he made it himself) and an old church pew that came out of a church in Covington, GA. It was one of the first churches that African American's had as freed slaves and they built these pews by hand.
It was so special to me that they were willing to give it to me, because it has so much meaning to our family. I have many memories around that table! Sunday, Mother's Day, we all went to church and miss Ansley was dedicated to the Lord. I don't have any pictures because we were up there and my mom didn't have hers. I have to say she was the most stylin' baby there! Her Gigi, who recently got back from a Mediterranian cruise, bought her a Burberry dress. That's right a
Burberry dress!!
I don't even have anything designer, yet my little one does. If that doesn't show you how much more she loves her granddaughter I don't know what does! Ha! Although, she did bring me some nice loot too! :) The service was absolutely beautiful, but it was really hard for everyone, especially my mom. I can't even imagine losing a child. I'll tell you though I am so proud to be her daughter, she is one tough yet loving woman. That evening my Dad came up to celebrate my first Mother's Day and took us out to eat to where else....Mexican! Yummy!
Me and my beautiful Mom! (in our backyard that we just got sodded all the way)
Me and my precious baby girl! I could never imagine loving someone this much!!
Four generations...3 generations of mothers! Nana, Ansley, Mom and Me.
All 4 of us again outside of church after the dedication.
Our little family. At this point she was tired of all the pictures!
So....we set her down on the grass and she did not know what to think of it.
Testing it out...
Ummm....I don't know about this guys.
Alright, I'll deal.
