The Leddy Family: February 2015

Heart Day

This year Macie got to get in on the Valentine's Day action and Morgan was ready to show her how it's done! Morgan got both of their Valentine's happies together to take to school. This year Susannah and I did the class party for Morgan and we loved putting together a party for our girls! The rest of the holiday weekend was spent just enjoying our time and love as a family while Sissy was in town. What a great few days full of love!

Party time!

My favorite part of the party was watching the girls pass out their Valentine's to everyone. They were all just so excited for this part!

Everyday Love

These past few weeks have been filled with the same things: cold weather and lots of germs! I tell you what, I am totally over this weather and am ready to get out of the house. I feel like all we are doing is sharing our germs back and forth. Thankfully, we have had no major illnesses. But we have had enough colds, coughs, ear infections and stomach bugs to last me the rest of the year! Hurry up spring!

PS- A huge shout out to Sissy who was with us during most of this yuckiness. In no way could I have made it through all of this mess without her. Thank you!!!

Hakuna Matata

We had a huge first for Morgan this past week. We took her to her first play... The Lion King! Sissy got us tickets a long time ago and we were thrilled to take her. There was no question that she would love it. Morgan first loves all things Disney. But even more she loves a production. Music, dancing and costumes are her thing! Sissy gave her ticket to Jeff so we got to take our big girl out on the town. We left early for Memphis and got there in time for dinner at Rendezvous. Then walked through the Peabody to the Orpheum for the show. Our seats were so close you could almost touch the actors.

I'm not sure who loved it more- Morgan or Jeff! Lucky me, this is my second time to see the show. But my other two friends were here for the first time. This show is truly amazing and they both loved every second. Morgan didn't know where to look first! She sat on the edge of her seat the whole time and even sang along. Since the show was so late, we had to get some caffeine in her during intermission! After the show Morgan even got to look down in the orchestra pit and see the musicians and the instruments.

This was one moment that I will never forget with my girl. And I hope she will always remember it too!

Ready to go!

She was just so excited

My Old Kentucky Home

We finally had a wonderful excuse to go home to Murray... to celebrate Carrie! And yes, I know that I don't have any family here anymore, but it will always be my home. Carrie and Mom's friends hosted a lovely shower for Carrie with a "My Old Kentucky Home" theme. It was perfect and a great opportunity to see all of our Murray family. Our morning was filled with yummy food, sweet gifts and tons of hugs!

After the shower we made our way to 701 Elm Street. Now don't worry. We are not those creepy people who move and then just show up at their old house every time they come back to town. Well, we are. But we were invited! A lovely couple has made our home perfect for them. They have worked on it for a year now and it was amazing! And for all their hard work, I was just touched to see that they love our house as much as we did. I know it will take good care of them and give them as many wonderful memories as it has given us.

One thing that was a little weird was coming to Murray and staying in a hotel. But one person who didn't mind was Morgan. I think she swam in that pool three or four times during our short stay!

We also got to put the cherry on top of a great day with a Racer basketball game. We even got to cheer them on to a win! Another thing that was a little weird was being in that arena for a game but not hearing my Dad's voice through the speakers. But still a good time. We even got to celebrate at the Apple! (Jeff totally earned some bonus points for getting the girls to sleep in the room while I got to have fun with my parents, Carrie and Bobby!)

After church and lunch at Los we headed back south. Once again, Murray took great care of us!
