The Wedding

It has been a busy few weeks. We had both sets of grandparents and my brother-in-law come up to visit and experience fall and celebrate little man's birthday! I was also  able to fly home for my brother's wedding during all of the activity here. Needless to say I have hundreds of photos to sift through and more to take with Halloween activities kicking off this weekend. Enjoy the photos from the wedding. I will have more tomorrow!

Hey, It's a College Football Game

School is in full swing here and with the advent of school comes the influx of crud and gunk. The girls were sick for several days along with Dad, and then Little Man started sniffling as well. So mom has been holding down the fort while the family is on the mend. In between the sneezing, Hubby did take the girls to their first college football game. No it wasn't the game or the team he envisioned for his daughters, but they still had a great time. The crowd was very laid back and the girls really enjoyed meeting the mascot, copying the cheerleaders and yelling their hearts out! Hope you enjoy the photos, and for the record they are completely responsible for what they are wearing! 

Our new cousin has arrived!

Welcome little A! Your cousins, aunt and uncle can't wait to meet you! Congratulations to P and his lovely wife!  

Labor Day Campout

School is now in full swing, but this three day weekend has been in the makings for a very long time. Back in May, the neighbors got together and decided we would plan on doing something fun to mark the end of summer. So a tent was borrowed, hamburgers were made, and a pinata was broken to mark the first annual end of summer backyard camp out. The girls were up until about 11:30 when finally two moms went into the tent to get all the kids to go to sleep. Most of the adults made it until about 1:00 am, just talking and holding vigil to see if the girls would actually stay in the tent. Luckily, I didn't pull the short straw and was able to sleep on the couch while one mom slept in the tent with the kids. Big girl came in twice to go to the bathroom, but both times she ran straight back to the tent- there was no way she would admit defeat! The girls are so glad they camped the whole night, and we are already planning the second annual labor day campout for 2010!

First Day

Ah- except for the butterflies in baby girl's stomach, it was an excellent first day.  They have been getting "grace" for the first couple of days, so hopefully things will not take a turn next week.

Ask and ye Shall Receive

I know, long time no post. But with houseguests, the better half out of town, and school starting; I have found little time to log on to the computer. But after several "gentle" reminders that I needed to update the blog, I am getting back on track. Photos are from the trip back home and then the trip I went on with my BFF. Check back tomorrow for the back to school photos! Sorry to the family- I have been really busy!!!!

In Search of the Lost Sea

          Well if you haven't figured it out, this family has been on the road for the past few days. Leaving home base we spent two nights and three days on the road, enjoying being a little family of tourists. We "found" the Lost Sea, made fish faces at the Tennessee Aquarium, and swam until our hands and feet were all shriveled up in Birmingham. Next stop Louisiana!
