"An Answered Prayer": After my mother's yearly mammogram, she was called back by her doctor in Birmingham on Thursday of last week. They wanted her to travel back up there so they could do an ultrasound on a "suspicious" spot that was found in her right breast. Praise be to God that it turned out to be a fluid-filled cyst that was only 1/2 centimeter in diameter. They said that they will see her back in one year.

I took this picture of her forever smiling face tonight after she prepared a delectable meal in honor of the December birthdays-me and my daddy! I just LOVE her sooooo much!!

Just wanted to share some pictures of my sweet little loves. They are growing up too fast!!

Here comes Santa Claus, Here comes Santa Claus.....right down Hardy Lane!

Oh, WOW!! Look what Santa brought me!!!

One of my favorite toys; a Front-End Loader

How COOL is that? Hanging out with Santa!

All tuckered out after Santa's visit-notice in the picture what he fell asleep with?

Mr. Claus came to visit the Hardy boys on Thursday, December 4th. We have the cutest video, that I hope to upload to the blog ASAP, of John Parker inviting SC in the house and blowing kisses to him as he was exiting the door. He wasn't the least bit scared-never has been. As for Sawyer, you could tell he could care less what was going on at the moment. He, too, was a trooper for Santa.


On a side note: My friend, Suzanne Cotton, was sweet enough to purchase "Elf on the Shelf" for me last week and we have been enjoying Mr. Elfie's company immensely at our house -on a daily basis. John Parker loves searching for him EVERYDAY!! This is a definite "MUST BUY" for those of you with children.
