1st Day of School

On Wednesday the girls had their first day of school!  SB started 2nd grade and Sophie started Pre-K.  I can’t believe my little Sophie is now at St. Francis!  It was a fun morning dropping the girls off!

Meeting Jase!

My nephew Jase Bradley Babb was born June 5th at 7:22 a.m.  He was 7lbs 11oz.  He is a precious baby and we are all in love with him!  Here are a few pictures of Jase from his first few hours of life!

All of the family is anxiously waiting!

Big Brother meets Little Brother!

Proud Daddy!

Proud Mommy who did awesome!

We are so happy to have another little bundle of joy to spoil! 

Junior Auxiliary

I am so honored to have been a part of  the Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg for a little over 5 years.  I met many amazing women and tons of special children that otherwise I would not have met.  JAV is dedicated to the children in our community.  We serve a countless number of children and families each year. 

Here is a picture of my Provisional Class when we started back in 2007.

I served on 3 projects throughout my 5 years.  I served on Safety Town for 2 years and Camp Silvercloud for 3.  I also served as Chair of a Chapter Project called INK (inspirational notes for kids). 

I helped build Catfish Row Playground, served on our major fundraiser Annual Birdie, Bogey and Boogie for Kids and worked many hours in the Cookbook Office.

My mother in law is a Life Member and we attended many Fall/Spring parties together!

I also served on the Board for one year as the Corresponding Secretary.  I thoroughly enjoyed my active years with JAV.  I will continue to help with this wonderful organization as a Life Member!
