Fun and games with Daddy

sweet smiles and laughing with Brodie

cute and prissy in a pink tutu

serious concentration and splashing with water animals

giggles and squeals on the trampoline

You still wanna be Judge down there?

Is the question that was asked of my very AWESOME boss on July 12, 2010.  Yes that's right it has taken me this long to write about it (I think I mentioned it briefly in a previous post, but never followed up with it)  so sorry for lack of posting:(
Anyway, on August 18, 2010, Mr. William C. Rumer was sworn in by Governor Sonny Perdue and was officially named JUDGE William C. Rumer.  I cannot express how immensely proud that I was to sit in that room and watch such a wonderful person be bestowed such a tremendous honor!
Taking the Oath

Signing the Oath

Two of most favorite men in the wide world!!!

Many thanks to the Judge for bringing me along for the ride!  I love each and every moment of my new job!  Everyday that we enter the courtroom it is affirmed to me that the Governor made the BEST choice!  Judge Rumer was absolutely born to do this job, and I thank GOD I was born to be his assistant;)

Candler Michael Shaw

was born on August 14, 2010.  He is absolutely positively precious!  I am so sorry that I have waited this long to post the announcement and a picture of the little man.

Yes he did keep his head FULL of hair;)

LOVE IT!

Just had to share my new favorite morning drink... small decaf white chocolate latte from Dunkin Donuts.  Isn't it just the cutest little cup?!!  I put it next to my regular coffee cup to show the size.  There are two GREAT things about this little cup of morning joy:  1.  it is only $0.99 right now and 2. it is the perfect size...with a medium I always have about 1/4 of the drink leftover.  It is truly the simple things in life that make me happy:)

XOXO
