Wednesday Morning Coffee Catch Up

On By Erin @ Cracker Crumb LifeIn Uncategorized

Hello everyone! Today is supposed to be warm and sunny but you wouldn’t know it this morning; it is absolutely freezing right now! I am all covered up with my favorite quilt, which actually was made by my friend’s grandmother, and I am savoring this warm mug of coffee.

We had a fairly slow weekend, which was nice, especially since we were in the middle of a cold snap again. Wyatt and I spent Saturday morning under blankets on the couch, reading and watching tv, while poor Billy fixed our kitchen faucet. He was listening to his audiobook though and if I know my husband, which I do, then he was actually having a pretty good morning. Coffee, a task to accomplish, working with his hands, and a book? He was doing ok.

Later though we extricated ourselves from our cozy house and individual pursuits so that Wyatt could get his hair trimmed. My niece was getting christened Sunday and Wyatt needed to look a little less like a wild heathen wolf boy. So we trundled over to Billy’s mom’s house, where Wyatt’s grandma Bug cut his hair. Billy’s mom used to be a hairstylist, and when Charleen first moved to Michigan as a young 18 year old she used to work in a wig shop, making and styling wigs – including those for the Motown singers of the time. She worked there even until her boys were born, and she said she used to have Billy’s oldest brother, George, with her at the shop when he was a baby.

Sunday morning was the big day for little tiny bebe, who is no longer little tiny bebe, as she will be a whole year old in March! She looked so adorable, all decked out in her christening gown, which was actually mine when I was a baby! I wore it, my brother wore it, Mermaid Girl wore it, and now little nugget wore it. I love that so much. My mom took such good care of it over the years, you would never know that it was *cough cough* years old. It was just as pristine as ever. Little nugget looked so sweet, and she did amazing through the entire ceremony and at the party after. Although, she did get a little tuckered out…

Then back to Devin’s for a little party! Chrissy’s sister made these gorgeous cupcakes which were just as delicious as they looked. She used to make wedding cakes but no longer does that. She is a travel nurse and just doesn’t have the time anymore, although she definitely still has the skills.

The rest of the week has been filled with the normal everyday of life. School, work, appointments, with a little fun thrown in there as well. Painting, Billy making tiny mushrooms, building and playing, and special cheesecake cupcakes from our favorite pizza place.

And that is it from me this morning! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week!

    Oh, my goodness! That face! I bought my oldest granddaughter’s baptismal gown in Charleston, SC. It’s smocked and has little roses embroidered all over it. My other granddaughter wore her mom’s. I really need to embroider Amelia’s name and baptismal date on her gown so it can be a true heirloom.

    Billy is a true Renaissance man! Mike can do most of those things, but I doubt he’d listen to an audio book. When he listens to his meditations, he ends up snoring though he insists he’s awake!

    I wish I had half the hair Wyatt has! It’s so good! How fun that his Grandma Bug (how’d she get that name) cuts it!

    1. I love that story! What a great idea to embroider her name on it.

      Billy is one of those people who can look at something and just do it. It’s crazy to me all the things he can do. He is very talented!

      Wyatt’s hair. I tell you. We can’t keep up with how fast that it grows. He really has so much!

      Wyatt has a speech delay and his grandmas really wanted Wyatt to be able to address them, but that word was, and still is, tough for him. So, we came up with names for them. He would always bird watch with my mom, so she became Grandma Bird. And Billy’s mom would always very dramatically and playfully be silly about bugs with Wyatt, and he would laugh and laugh, so she became Grandma Bug. My stepmom he heard me calling her by her name and he will occasionally call her that. Lol. We started calling her Grandma Buzz because she likes gardening but then we realized that sounded like we were calling her that because of something else so we stopped. LOL.
