Lil Nate :)

I realize I am TERRIBLY late getting this up, (Thanks to AT&T, our wonderful internet service provider) but, better late than never I guess. March 20th (I bow my head in shame) was Lil Nate's 1st Birthday. We had a party for him Sunday after Church. :) Sooo.... here are some pictures of the little munchkin on his 1st birthday. Hope y'all enjoy them and express your adoration with a sufficient amount of "awwws." ;o)

Happy Birthday, Little Boo!

"What's this I see?? Fire? Cake? What a delightful combination..."

"Is it all for me??"

We celebrated Grandmama's birthday along with Nate's because hers was just a few days earlier. :)

{Yum Yum Yum}

Little Boo wif his Mommy and Daddy ;o)

His mind (or mouth) seems to be preoccupied with something other than my photo shoot...

With Sissy and Great G'ma. :)

Well, y'all...I will, Lord willing, finish posting the pictures of our trip to NC and the Charleston Tea Plantation. (I know you're all just moaning and groaning over the agonizing wait...)
Like I said, I'm trying to catch up--just bear with me :o)

Y'all have a blessed day!

Happy birthday, Little Fat Man!!!! I could kiss his chubby little cheeks all day... :) Since I'm not there to do it, give him a a couple for me :)

I love that one of him with his hands clasped and the caption, "Yum, yum, yum." Too cute! :)

Tell him Gracie loves him, and "Happy 27-day-late Birthday!"

He's just darling! "Aww...." Really - he is too cute! Did I send down a present with the Frodges? I meant to but can't remember. So, who made the cake? I love it!

Nice to see Grandmama enjoying her birthday along with little guy!

Love,
Aunt Beth

The Orange Blossom Song

I want to wake up in the morning where the orange blossoms grow,
Where the sun comes creepin' into where I'm sleepin',
and the song birds say hello.

I want to wander over yonder, Pick the fruit that's hanging low,
I want to make my home in Florida where the orange blossoms grow.

I want to wake up in the morning where the ocean breezes blow,
I want to cast my line on the falling tide,
Where the tarpon swim below.

I love the sunshine and the beaches, where the palms sway to and fro,
I want to make my home in Florida where the orange blossoms grow.

I want to wake up in the morning where the Spanish moss hangs low,
Where the gators swim through the Everglades,
And the grand old live oaks grow.

I love the wildwoods, and the cities, and the friends I've come to know.
I want to make my home in Florida where the orange blossoms grow.

I want to wake up in the morning where the orange blossoms grow,
Where the sun comes creepin' into where I'm sleepin',
and the song birds say hello.

I want to wander over yonder, Pick the fruit that's hanging low,
I want to make my home in Florida where the orange blossoms grow.

Here Is Home

Here is home, my blessed home.
Florida is her name.
God’s Providence has brought me here,
So here I will remain.

Here is home, my beautiful home,
Where God's creation sings
About the mighty power and grace
Of Jesus Christ our King.

Here is home, where in the Spring
The orange blossoms bloom,
And fill my senses to the brim
With their sweet perfume.

I love to hear the honey bees
Buzzing with all their might.
I love the clear, blue, cloudless sky,
And radiant stars at night.

Here is home, where Summer comes
With its burning heat,
Relentlessly providing us
With bugs and burning feet.

But when the Lord provides us
With a gentle shower,
It lifts the weary, wilted head
Of every wildflower.

Here is home, where in the Fall,
I don my scarves and sweater,
But really I don’t need them.
Cotton would do better.

No Autumn leaves are falling.
The trees are still quite green,
But a crisp, cool breeze is blowing,
And the days grow short, it seems.

Here is home, where Winter comes.
It's not so very cold,
But how I love to dig in the sand
My numb and barefoot toes!

In wintertime I love to eat
An orange from the tree.
Such a sweet and sticky treat.
Quite a delicacy!

Here is home where I am proud
To be a humble part
Of Florida's great, rich history,
And hold it near my heart.

The land on which I've tromped and played,
The Spanish settlers roam'd.
They called this place the “Land of Flowers,”
And here they made their home.

When war broke out between the States,
We proved our loyalty
To the precious Southern cause,
For God and Liberty!

Some folks call us “Florida Crackers.”
I'm proud to hold that name.
My ancestors were proud as well,
To call themselves the same.

Here is home, My home, sweet home,
Where life is at it's best.
Every day I thank the Lord,
For I am truly blessed!
