A bad loss for the GA bulldogs, a big blessing from God, and a first birthday celebration–all in one weekend!

The dawgs disappointing loss to Bama was quickly overshadowed by a late night phone call from my sister. Hendley’s fever had spiked to 103.8, causing her to go into a febrille seizure. For the next four hours, our family prayed as doctors at UVA administered tests and blood work on my sweet niece. Although we have yet to find the cause of Hendley’s fever, the results ruled out an upper respiratory infection, pneumonia, and meningitis. Please pray that God will continue to put His protective arms around Hendley and Baby Trent. And pray for a speedy recovery for Hendley and all of the Boucek family!

After a very long and sleepless night, we woke up early on Sunday morning to get ready for Mary Reese’s first birthday celebration. Seeing MR surrounded by so many loved ones was a constant reminder of God’s many blessings! I’ve got tons of pics from the big weekend, so stay tuned…

Saturday was all about Georgia football! Gran C and Big Daddy took on MR while G and I tailgated with the Harvey family.

    Sunday was a day filled with blessings. Mary Reese was so cute, especially when she and her “tutu” crawled through the mulch. We had a such good time being together. Love, Gran C

    Happy birthday MR!!! What a cute party Carly, it looks like you had a blast, and I can’t believe MR is One!! Yay! Talk to you soon, Clare

    Surely you are going to post more pictures. I want LOTS more.

    Your decorations were precious. You could sell those hats. Seriously, you could call the company Harvey Hats.

    MR is precious, as usual. She is getting to be a big girl, Chin. I can’t believe it. Might be time to start working on #2. Can’t wait to see my girl soon.
