Welcome to our family, Bobby!

The Oldham Family welcomed its newest man today! My sister-in-law gave birth to Bobby Lee (named after his Papaw) this morning. He looks just like his Daddy! Such a handsome little fella. :)

I am so excited to Andy, Missy and Big Sister Jadea. Bobby is so blessed with great parents and a great Big Sister!

Here he is...the newest star!

Sunday afternoon with pumpkins...

Shane and I took Miss L to the AgriCenter for a little pumpkin loving.

Here's some pics. :)

Introducing Layla to UT Martin

Shane and I (along with my college roommate and best friend, Erika) took Layla to UT Martin this past weekend to celebrate Homecoming, as well as my sorority's 50th Anniversary on campus.

We had a wonderful time visiting old friends. That school will always mean so much to us. Some of the happiest years of my life took place right there in Martin, Tennessee.

Here's some pics from our weekend...

LOVED INTRODUCING MISS L TO UT MARTIN!

Some things never change

Candlelight Ceremony

I love these two! Nicole and Angela (and others, too!) worked so hard to make the weekend perfect!

New Threads!

Loving the new threads I made Miss L for Halloween and Fall!

Sick Baby

I don't like when my baby is sick...and sick she is.

Miss L started showing cold symptoms Friday evening. Her teacher said she wasn't her bubbly self during the day. It all started with sneezing and has gradually worsened since. It hurts my heart.

After a weekend at home with Grams in town, the cold just wasn't going away. Nana came up last minute yesterday morning so I could go into the office for about four hours. (Thanks for making the two hour drive just to watch Miss L, Nana! We are so blessed to have you!)

When I got home, Nana said Miss L (or as she calls her, 'Early Bird') just laid on her the whole time I was gone. She suggested Layla may have strep throat since she had a small rash on her face, fever and awful breath. 

I tried to make an appointment for the doctor yesterday, but the earliest I could get was for today at 11:15.

Lots of cold medicine, boogie wipes and loving...

And then 4 a.m. rolled around and I heard Miss L. crying in her sleep. I went up to her room and lifted her from her crib. She was a ball of fire. Shane and I worked to get her fever down and had her in her pediatrician's office at 8 a.m.

Dr. Ellis, just like Nana, suggested it could be strep, but it came back negative. Layla started with a simple cold and the infection has moved to her ears. This is the first ear infection she has had. 

So, she is on antibiotics and we are hoping she gets better really soon.

She is not eating much, but is drinking Pedialyte. I did whip up a chicken, rice, stemmed carrots and chicken broth concoction that I am going to convince her to love when she wakes up. :)

One of the perks of being sick...getting to take over Mommy and Daddy's bed. :)

Football Menu- Game Three

Yeah, we lost...BUT...the menu was delish at Casa de Oldham on Sunday. 

I made my BBQ pizza. I can't think of any other city that has this dish. It's pretty common around Memphis. Here's my recipe:

BBQ Pizza

Ingredients:

Pork Tenderloin

McCormicks' Pulled Pork Crock Pot seasoning

Pillsbury canned pizza dough

-Place tenderloin in Crock Pot.

-Mix McCormick's seasoning as noted on package (will need apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and ketchup).

-Pour mixture over tenderloin and cook for four hours on high or eight hours on low.

-Once cooking is complete, shred meat in Crock Pot and stir well.

-Pre bake pizza dough for a couple of minutes.

-Spread meat across the dough.

-Sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese.

-Bake until dough is cooked.

YUM!

PS. My Momma was up visiting over the weekend and she even liked my pizza. She is one of the pickiest eaters ever, too. :)

Flashback Friday!

Check out this pic of Miss L.'s first bath at home. I remember her being tiny, but this pic really puts it into perspective. Sure love my family!
