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.

Best Pet Ever

The neighbor's dog!
A lovely, older, gentle chocolate lab named Milly has taken to the girls...
coming over to house whenever she hears us outside.
We visit, love, Sawyer coos "Doggy Puppy" and Sullivan giggles. 
We play chase and run around for a bit.
We go home. Dog goes to her home.
Excellent situation.

Glimpse

I am still working on getting our home cozy and well-designed, but here is a quick glimpse of the bones of the house and a few features that I really like. We are really enjoying the home and simply don't know what to do with all of this new space. 

 Our gorgeous glass front door.
 Back stoop that leads to lawn.
 Master bedroom.
 The view from my ladder of my storage system in our master closet.
 Lee told me not to get used to this.
 Sawyer's room.
 Sullivan's bed,the rest of her room was just a total wreck...
 The girl's bathroom.
 Our double sink, tub and shower around the corner...
 Ktichen.
 Bar that wraps the other side of kitchen.
 Sitting area by the stone fireplace.
 Den in front of the kitchen.
 Media console, built by Dr. Porter himself.
Backyard.

Children's Museum of Jackson





Love their logo!







Jump-stick wall...girls didnt like the Velcro suits available, but Lee and I thought it looked awesome!



Sullivan milking a cow!



We four visited the almost two year-old local museum yesterday, and enjoyed the loads of exhibits and hands-on experiences. With a jump-stick Velcro wall, make-your-own waterboat race, daily art project, music and playground-like layout, this is one of the best kid's museums I have explored. And with a reasonable yearly pass, we'll be back often!

New Loves

Sullivan hearts Scooby Doo.
Lee loves his new pipe and we all adore the glorious fried goodness at The Cock of the Walk. Yum!

Delay expected







We are now visiting family in Alabama as Lee remains in Jackson and prepares for his big orthopedic board exam on July 12.
I have left our new home in disarray and still in boxes and the city has left our front lawn in an equal state as they are changing our street into a cul-de-sac as well, which explains the lovely red "Gotta Go" they gifted us in our front lawn. Nothing says "welcome to Jackson!" quite like this!
This is a form of southern hospitality that I am not familiar with..
More house pics to come in late July.
Happy 4th!

Exploring





Swinging together at the park.







In Brent's Drugs, the actual soda shop in The Help.



Cruising the new library...

We have gotten stir crazy with all the unpacking and the heat and have ventured out into town...we explored our gorgeous neighborhood, new preschool, downtown, Brent's Drugs, Primo's cafe, Winner's Circle Park and library, as well as Millsaps College. Jackson is turning on the charm!

Parting and starting









We have now parted from dear Greenville and made it to our new home in Jackson, MS! We are in pieces as we arrived yesterday afternoon, but as you can see Sullivan is making the most of it with her "box cave". Here she prepares bamboo for some unknown special purpose....more to come once we settle.
