Both girls had a very exciting last week of school! Sullivan performed in her school play with a large speaking role and Sawyer had a fun lunch party at preschool. Summer...here we come!

Simple fun

Whether it's a dip in the pool, a car wash or a Lego table, sometimes the most fun is had over simple things.
Happy Memorial Day!

Mother's Day 2014

Sullivan and Ann Lane in their class.





Posing by the book the class created. Below, having muffins with Sawyer's group.



Last Friday, both of my girls' classes had special morning events for Moms. I was so glad that I got to be there and see their sweet creations, gifts and songs.
It was a wonderful way to begin the weekend!

Big weekend

We threw my sweet friend Amy a baby shower for her baby girl on the way this past Saturday at my house.  Hostesses Laura, me, Honoree Amy, and Julia are pictured above. My mom and sister also helped, but weren't able to attend. We had a great turnout and beautiful, crisp weather. Amy received so many beautiful baby girl things. It was a great morning!


The spread in the dining room.



Amy with her sister-in-law, Kate.

Me and Amy! She is due June 12 and I am due August 1.


Amy and her Mom.

Saturday evening we went to the outdoor Gala at the Fitzgerald Museum just down the street. It was done in full 20's style and there was a brass band playing period music, people dressed in their finery, a silent auction and beautiful weather. Such a nice night!


Our friends, The Mraziks (the brothers pictured here on the left) joined us.



Birds of prey from the zoo made an appearance as well. Odd, but interesting to learn about and see up close.
Tanya Terry, an anchor from our local WSFA news (on the right) was there and I sneaked a pic with her and this other girl as they posed! :) She was so lovely and nice!
Whew! What a big weekend!

Eagle Day 2014

This morning was Sullivan's first Eagle Day at MA. The weather was great, she was psyched and we even came home with a new pet fish from a carnival game. Although it was Navy who won the day, Sullivan still had a blast and enjoyed the fun event. It has changed so much since my day!

Easter 2014

Despite heavy rains recently, the weather turned clear and sunny for our Easter Sunday. In beautiful, handmade gowns by my mom, the girls behaved well in mass and later we were able to enjoy Easter lunch in our backyard with both sets of parents.
With a great egg hunt and a gorgeous bunny cake from Edgar's of Birmingham, we had a ball.

Watching "Frozen"

I am pretty sure that this is our 21st night to watch in a row.
