Mary Lita's 9th birthday

Today my Lita turned 9!! It was just yesterday we brought home that sweet quiet barely 2 year old! The curls are still there, but she sure is growing up! Carlton had an appointment in Memphis this morning so I just took Lita with us. We shopped for her birthday and after the appointment she got to choose lunch. She wanted Mexican so we ate at Cozumel's:) She loved it!

Carlton's appointment went fairly well. It was with the pediatric psychiatrist, Dr Golden. After a few minutes of talking he said "So basically Carlton has extremely poor judgement." In a nut shell! Dr Golden is so good to back me up. He talked to Carlton about a serious issue and then said "This is a problem area for you Carlton, but aside from this I hear your mom really bragging on you!" I have been so deep in Carlton that I think I cannot even hear the bragging...lol...glad he pointed it out! Time Time Time....the biggest advantage Carlton has! He has time, now if he can just figure out how to use it for good!"

Tonight we had the adult Christmas dinner at Hagy's Catfish Hotel. A great night of fun! Shannan watched my middles and Sarah and Jacob my littles. Scott had a friend from out of town that came and went with us tonight. Johnny has such a heart for God. What a blessing to visit with him tonight! I wish I could remember his parenting stories! As a parent I loved them!!

John's Band Christmas concert was tonight. He did not tell us until we had committed to Hagys. John, neat guy that he is, said we could just buy a CD:) I hope he brought home the form!!
