From seeds to flowers

Back in April, Sullivan planted a handful of sunflower seeds from school in a small flower bed near the house. She has covered them during frosts, watered them, checked on them almost daily and cared for them for weeks. This week one of the shoots finally flowered! She was delighted and so proud! What will she plant next?

Lanark Camp

This past week Sullivan went to day camp at Lanark in Millbrook. The outdoor nature camp was an all day event all week with hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and exploring. She came home filthy and happy every afternoon, with a backpack filled with new rocks and treasures, even live caterpillars. We are thrilled that she loved it and that she is even asking for more!

Our summer is off to a solid start, although this go around, at 8.5 months pregnant, my time in the heat is very limited! Whew!
We have enjoyed lunches out, birthdays and special times at the library...Sawyer's preschool runs all summer and she is enjoying it so much. Sullivan has a variety of camps as well, from gymnastics to nature camps and the zoo. We hope you are enjoying your summer, too!

Our 9th wedding Anniversary

At the Florida Georgia Line concert.


This June 18 marked our 9th year as a married couple. We were able to have a very fun night out at dinner and a concert and later in the week got to go out for another meal. I am so glad we've gotten the chance to celebrate, be thankful for these years together and to pause and reflect on the exciting year we are in right now, 34 weeks along with Baby Boy.

Loot!


Above, dear Katie Agnew came in from Nashville for the event. Below, gorgeous hydrangeas.



My thoughtful sister and 11 other sweet friends threw our Baby Boy a beautiful "sprinkle" last Saturday morning at my sister's home. So many dear friends were able to attend and several traveled to make it ( thank you, Christy, Kristen and Katie!!!)
We had yummy poppyseed chicken, salad and fruit as well as my Mom's cookies and cafe Louisa's bites. Baby Boy received previous clothing, bibs, blankets, books and even a new hi-tech swing and a convertible 6-in-1 stroller. Thank you, hostesses, for such a very special party!
More pics to come.

Beach trip 2014

Our attempt at a family photo!?
























This past weekend my parents joined the four us in Destin, Fl, for a long weekend. Despite rain and clouds, we had a great time at our Hidden Dunes cottage. The girls both loved the beach and pool and Lee got to fish. With three helpful adults around, I also got a chance to put my feet up a good bit. At 31weeks along, I was most grateful.
