AUGUST 26 AUGUST IN REVIEW

 


                                                                        4 weeks to go!

Mackenzie's toy box.



Mackenzie's closet is ready.




                                                                     Baby Shower done!


                                                             We had some family get togethers in August.

                                             Nikki and Andy through the years - first cousins.


    Standing up in a wedding.
    
                                                                                       



    
                                        

                                                              Graduation



Now they are both grown up - One has a baby of their own and one 'almost' has a baby.


Nikki's baby. He is SO CUTE!

                                              




                                          Went to Paris Baguette - do you have one where you live - you go in and look at what you want and put it on your tray and then go pay!  They had hundreds of items.  




                                                               50th birthday party!










Visted the Smokey Mountains





                                Love, Chatty

Looks like you had quite a full and happy August! This month seems to have just flown by! I'm happy it has, because September is my favorite month. I know you are anxiously awaiting the birth of a sweet great-granddaughter! That is something to really celebrate! Praying for a healthy, happy baby and speedy delivery for the Mama! Have a blessed rest of your week!!

It's hard to believe that August is almost over and with September around the corner, I know the time will fly by. The BER months always are some of the busiest of the year!

That closet full of baby clothes is adorable! So are Nikki and Andy, the pictures through the years are so sweet. (My son's name is Andy and he is married to a Nikki) :)
You've had a great August!

GREAT POST, pictures are super too. I cannot wrap my mind around Andy and his time(s). WE all remember them just about like we knew them. But /andy most since he was closest. It is like our grand headed to school, then What College? then marriage. ....... anyway, always good to see your family! Love from up here..

You sure have a beautiful family Sandie. Little Mackenzie is already so very loved and that closet full of clothes is proof. I know you all are so super excited and are eagerly waiting for the delivery day. Praying for a healthy delivery and healthy Mackenzie and Mom...

What a sweet post. I enjoyed all the photos. I haven't seen one of those Paris Baguette places. Sounds like you have been busy. Take care.

Sweet, sweet post! I love "watching" Andy and his cousin growing up through the years. Never heard of a Paris Baguette, but now it's on my radar!

Ann said...

You had one fantastic month. I've never heard of Paris baguette. If we have one around here I haven't seen it

Terri D said...

I enjoyed this post and still have a smile on my face!! I've not heard of Paris Baguette, but it sure sounds good! I loved seeing Andy and his cousin growing up. Of course, he was a little shy guy when I met you all in person!! Loved this, and love you too!!
