James was a little hesitant toward Liam during the last two months, but this weekend we had a breakthrough. I think it’s partly because Liam is much more alert and is smiling and squealing now, and also because James has realized that Liam isn’t going anywhere. Instead of giving Liam a wiiiiiide berth, he now wants to sit right next to whoever is holding him. He’ll also hold up toys and say, “Look, Baby Liam!” It’s going to be so cute to see these two grow up together.
Especially once James teaches Liam the art of sticking out your tongue.

#BringBackNashville
Mike and I are big fans of the show Nashville, so we were bummed when it got canceled by ABC last week. The production company responsible for the show, Lionsgate, is trying to find another home for the series and we hope they succeed. I just love, love, love the music that the show puts out every week and I’m so sad that it might stop. Mike and I even went to a concert that the cast put on last year, and it was amazing. They are all SO talented:
The show really needs to find a new home, because it would be a tragedy to not have Tami Taylor Rayna James Connie Britton (and her hair) on my TV every week.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

y’all aren’t the only ones sad about Nashville! The city of Nashville is pretty sad. it brought a HUGE amount of revenue and interest to our city. I never watched it, though. It kinda seemed cheesy to me, as someone who has lived in/around Nashville her whole life. Still, it did a LOT for our city/state, so I hope it finds a new home!
Lots of great articles this week- the Vanessa Bayer one made me laugh. I’ve always been curious about how SNL people are outside of the show.
The dog/yearbook article is so precious.
I definitely want one of those massagers for myself. And I’ve been eyeing one of those polaroids for awhile. Just haven’t bit the bullet yet!!

Agreed! One of my faves, hope they find a new home.

We watch the show as well but in my honest opinion it has really stunk it up the last few years. The story lines are always the same (gay cowboy struggling, sad pathetic Layla, Gunner/Scarlet – couple or not?!, Deacon can’t control emotions)…. It also has been reaching quite a bit trying to cause drama. I really didn’t like how they portray conservatives to be bigots. I’m a conservative and have many homosexual people in my life. The way they scripted the news reporter to treat Will was disgusting. There is no way a network would ever give a woman like that airtime. The show was just starting to get a bit desperate to me.
