Spring Break in Florida with Nana and Papa

The playground and pool were so much fun!! Sitting outside for dinner with Nana and Papa was something we had never done, and helped keep us distracted and occupied while the adults had a nice dinner. Nana's mom, Lu, made us homemade biscotti, what a special treat!!!

Spring is here!!!!

Well, thanks to the hard work of my dad, my energizer bunny granny, and my hubby...

We have flowers popping up in our front yard!!! I am so excited to see all of the color they bring to our construction site of a neighborhood!

In September, my Dad worked ALL day to put in a flower bed in front of our house. He had to dig up sod and he even moved the uprooted sod to the backyard so we have a bit more grass to stand on back there. He did a great job of planting some bushes and other green plants and mulching and adding the finishing touch of a scalloped cedar border. It looks great!!

Then in October, while I was out of commision in first trimester pregnancy...Wes and my Granny planted 100 (count them 100!!) assorted bulbs in the midst of the bushes and green plants my Dad had planted. I really didn't think we could get all 100 of them in that one bed, but we did!! The nice thing about this assortment is that the flowers come up at all different times of the spring and summer so we will have pretty things to look at for months on end! And they will come back next year (hopefully) without me having to do much work at all!! We will have tulips, irises, crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, alpine whites and I forget what else. I can't wait!! Here are the first few signs of spring in our Alabama yard.

Recent Pics

I thought I'd catch up and post a few pics from the last month or so...

Visiting cousin Shannon, the future lawyer, in Nashville while Daddy attended a football conference. I think I have a picture of ME holding Shannon when she was about this age, how time flies!





Our first visit to Moe's in Huntsville...coupled with our first cheese quesadilla, yummy!



Mama gave me bangs! Aren't I cute?

I come running as soon as I see the camera!

Happy Birthday Charity!!

Hope you have a great day and look forward to celebrating tomorrow! Don't work too hard! We love you and miss you!

Girl's Week

Great-Granny was on her way to Florida for a few months so she and Great Aunt Jean and Nana came to stay for the week on their way to the land of sunshine. We can't wait to get there for Spring Break!!

Special Friends Come to Visit

Our friends, the Morrisons, stopped in Huntsville on their way to Florida. It was so great to catch up with news from St. Louis and to see them interact with our girls. We miss them soooo much!

Finally...some pictures!

I finally had a few minutes to download pictures that are long overdue. We had a great Christmas in Indiana with the surprise attendance of my sister!! She decided to join our holiday festivities at the last minute and surprised us all!
