This is my "snapshot scrapbook" of our daily doings for my children and family. I hope to preserve the "everyday" for my children and for us so that we can always read it and remember.

Happy Thanksgiving!



Posing with handmade turkey and Indian hats while watching the Macy's Day Parade.

Our attempt to catch a Christmas photo for Mom! She made these gorgeous burgundy dresses (and hairbows) all by hand. Amazing! I hope that she got a good shot for her card.

We hope that you and yours have had a rich Thanksgiving this year! As our move to our dream home approaches, we are certainly counting our many blessings this year.  What are you thankful for?

10 pt buck on his birthday! I love that Sull wanted to flash her smile by his side.








Lee has had a fantastic birthday. New clothes, Makers, cookie cake and an amazing buck...may not get much better than this!

Thank you, Jack, Amy and Coopers for having us out to your farm!

Happy birthday, Lee! We love you so much!

Dreaming of Christmas




Already scoping out toys and making a list for Santa.

Hopefully, Sawyer got her full turn to peruse the target catalog as well.

Visit to Greenville,SC





We posed in front of the new glass façade of the Peace Center, riverside. It is gorgeous!


Lee, James, Chris and Matt on Furman's lake. Part of their tight-nit clan not pictured here is Michael, Noble and Jason.


We got a shot in as well.

Greenville's Reedy River from the Main Street Bridge.


Me and Lauren pose for a brief visit in Tupelo Honey.


Above and below are my sweet friend Danielle's precious babies. I had not seen them in 18mos and had not met baby John Martin, below. It was awesome to spend a Saturday morning with them!


Lee and I were able to drive back to Greenville, SC, for the weekend to celebrate his 10th reunion at Furman and also to visit with our dear residency friends. Lee's group of guys from college is fantastic and just first class. We always have a blast when we get together. Although the two-night stay was too brief, we got to see many people and attend lots of fun events: dinner at Larkin's with the Furman guys and wives, Furman's homecoming floats and tailgates, visiting with the Adams and meeting baby John Martin, Barleys with the Adams, coffee with dear girlfriends Diane, Sara and Courtney, as well as being a part of the residency group's night out after the OITE exam...and much more. It was bittersweet for me to return to Greenville as it was a 5yr period of my life that I did not want to end. It was such a golden experience for me to have met so many wonderful girls and form lifelong friendships. I love the town and our little home on Grove Road...I shed a few tears as we drove by.  Thank you, Mama and Dad, for keeping the girls!

Halloween 2013



In the car for school.

Me and my Super Girl!


Sawyer's 2yr old classroom party plate! How cute is this! Thank you, Jenny!



Super Girls!


Below, trick or treating with our friend Paul and family in our neighborhood.

We had a very nice, low key Halloween this year! I helped with both classroom parties and they went over smoothly and I think both Kindergarten and 2yr olds had a blast with their games and special party foods like donut hole eyeballs and mummy hotdogs. Later, we got to trick or treat with our friends, the Johnsons, which was wonderful and easy. Sullivan sprinted from house to house and fully embraced the activity of collecting goodies. Sawyer did her best to keep up with the big kids! We had a great day!
