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.

Saturday morning post


Love the shot of Greer in his daddy's arms while doing puzzles and reading the Saturday morning paper. A sweet moment.

Huntingdon Cheer Camp



 Huntington College, where Lee takes care of the athletes and I teach, hosted a cheer camp for little girls this past Saturday before the game. Then the campers got to join the cheerleaders on the field before the game for a dance and a cheer. Sawyer loved it and was precious out there. My parents, Colleen and the Coopers joined us for the game and the children loved it. It was an exciting match up against Birmingham Southern. Go Hawks!

Sawyer turns six!






Sawyer had a great sixth birthday this year. We had family celebrations with Lee's family and my parents as well as a super special birthday party at the Looneys skating rink. Between family and friends, she received so many amazing treasures: a new sewing machine, quixels, Legos, calico critters, books and more!

She is really enjoying kindergarten and seems to love the playground, snacks, and the enrichment activities best. We love you dear Sawyer!

Beautiful meal at Galley and Garden.

Birthday party with Honey

Special gift from my Sullivan

I had a very special birthday today and this past weekend. My parents kept the children and Lee and I got to go to Birmingham overnight, we got to celebrate with Lee's mom last night, Lee wrote me a beautiful note and my family gave me lovely gifts (robotic vacuum cleaner, jewelry, le crueset and Nora Fleming...). I also got to lunch with my parents and my sister today, during my workday, which was such a treat. I'm so thankful to be surrounded by so many amazing people! Thank you, friends and family!!!

Camden Carlisle Murphy

Lee's brother, Tyler, and his wife, Ash, delivered their first child, a son, yesterday September 5, 2016, at 8:30 in the morning. Camden is 6 lbs. 5 oz. and Mom and baby are doing very well. We are so thankful for this special blessing and to have a new little cousin in our family! Congratulations, Tyler and Ash!

Milo


This weekend it was Sawyer's turn to take home her class doggie, Milo. She had a grand time snuggling him and bringing him along with her, such a good mommy. She has loved having Milo at home!

Sweet Creek Market

Recently we took the family to the sweet Creek Farmer's Market on 231. We had a fun morning of looking at the products and produce and eating a wonderful lunch. The kids especially enjoyed this huge cow and the mist machines.
