Game day

Lee has become the Medical Director for Huntingdon College and they played at home this weekend, which means it is a full day of Football on all fronts!  Lee stays on the sidelines and we cheer from his truck parked in our driveway, as we have full view of the field from our patio. This Saturday we had our friends the Coopers come over and join us and we all did our best to make homemade lemonade for the event. Go Hawks!

Gigi and Waylo

On Sunday afternoons, my Dad has to make his "rounds" to see all of the grandchildren. Above, the girls delight in this time spent with my parents, as Sawyer gets a French braid and Sullivan gets some calisthenics exercise.

Maxwell Fire station

Checking out the gear.


What a helmet! Below, Mrs. Nelson and her class pose by the red truck.


Last Wednesday I helped drive fellow Kindergartners to the Maxwell Air force Base Fire station. The children were delighted by the setting near the air field and experiencing the "smokehouse", which is a mobile home they can fill with "Hollywood" smoke to teach about fire safety. What was particularly touching was how much the firefighters themselves seemed to get out of spending time with these polite, curious little people. The men were so tickled and pleased to receive the attention and silly questions. It was a fun morning.

Date night 2.0

Part of my birthday present from Lee was a cooking class with a friend of his, Preston Williams, of Fleur de Lis Catering.  After several attempts of scheduling this night, it finally happened last Tuesday night and was certainly worth the wait! Not only did I learn how to hold my knives correctly while chopping and prepping, I also learned how to make a ratatouille, wrap fish in grapes leaves and make an aioli. It was one of the most original date nights yet...a night to remember! Above you can see the candlelit setting, the appetizers, our menu, the flowers and our fish.

Pumpkin patch

In the patch!


The girls with Paul and Porter Johnson.



Last Sunday I took the girls to Dreamfield Farm to a classmate's birthday party. It was a crisp, beautiful afternoon and they loved finding mini pumpkins, taking a hayride, seeing animals and playing in a sandbox full of corn kernels! Happy fall, y'all!

Boyfriends

The girls are cracking me up lately with lots of talk about boys! Already??? Yikes!
Sawyer announced to our neighbor this morning that a Will from school is her boyfriend and recently Sullivan has been telling me all sorts of things like "I want to marry two boys from my class, but I can only marry one, right?" and even asking about babies and being married and which comes first...oh my goodness.
Both just light up around a few certain boys that we know and it is just too cute!
Mama even told me a grandmother of a little boy in Sullivan's class reported to her that Sullivan was his girlfriend...

I think Lee is already polishing and prepping shot guns...bless him.
