Dunleith Plantation

(Lan on the porch waiting for our tour.)


(I took this on for Lan's dad.)

Lan and I went on a couple of tours while we were in Natchez. One house we saw was Dunleith Plantation. Dunleith was built in 1856 by the Carpenter family. This home plays host to weddings and has a really good restaurant (from what I hear).

Sunset...

This was the view from our balcony at The Briar's! Look at the majesty of our Lord!





The Briar's!




This is the beautiful B&B we stayed at! I fell in love with these bunnies and Henry who served us breakfast every morning! I highly recommend Henry and The Briar's!!!

My Sweet Husband!


They next few post are some of the pictures that I took on our anniversary trip. Lan planned everything all by himself. I had said that all I wanted to do was just spend some time together, relax and have fun. Bless him he came through in a big way! He put so much thought into everything! Our anniversary is September 26th and that night we stayed at The Century House. Lan's dad owned this house and he lived there for 6 years and we lived there the first year of our marriage. His dad sold the house and the owners turned it into a beautiful bed & breakfast. This was really special! We also went to The Rustler that night for supper (one of my faves)! The next morning we got up and headed to Natchez where he booked us a room at a beautiful B&B, The Briar's!
Here is a picture of the beautiful and delicious cake Carolyn Wilkinson made us! Lan said we needed cake at least once a month!

Katie Grace and Seth...



This is another one of those entries I should have done weeks ago! Katie Grace came home the first day of school talking about this little boy that she wanted to spend the night with! As you can imagine her daddy was fit to be tied! The whole week all she talked about was Seth and how he wanted her to come over and play and then spend the night. I had never heard of Seth or his family (they were new to Meridian) and tried to explain to my crying child that I wasn't about to invite her to someones house! This went on for 2 weeks and then one day she came home with a note from her teacher explaining that Seth's mom wanted to get in touch with us about a play date. Praise the Lord, the child had been crying everyday after school for 2 weeks! Anyway... We got these children together and I got to met Jennifer and Greg and they are wonderful! Jennifer is just one of these great people that you take to immediately or at least I did! She and Greg are from Houston and moved to Meridian in July. These are some pics I got at Seth's birthday party a few weeks ago. He and Katie Grace have the funniest relationship! They are both very head strong but for some reason Seth lets her boss him around and does everything she says! I don't think it's funny because I don't want her to think she can just run over her friend but Jennifer thinks it's great because Seth just lets her do it! They really do get along so well and Katie Grace loves him to death!

Culpepper & Henry Sleepover!

Sorry it's been so long since I posted anything! I am so bad about putting off until I'm about 10 blog entries behind! These are some great pics that Jonda took one night when they let Myles, Katie Grace, Anna Kate and Parker spend the night. My two would stay every other night if they would let them! They all had a lot of fun and love to rock out to Rock Band! Jonda and Brad are great to let these four come and take over for the night!

Life's been kinda busy!

Lan and I got back Monday from our anniversary trip! Things have been so crazy I haven't had time to download or post any of the wonderful pictures that I took. We've had soccer, gymnastics and birthday parties all in a matter of two days and today I'm working on all of the house cleaning I've been putting off. Anyway I promise to share pictures ASAP!!!
