What a week we had! Robert, Maxwell and I were in Naples last week visiting my parents and had a great, albeit rainy, visit. We ended up heading back to Birmingham a few days early because we were afraid Maxwell was getting an ear infection again but, after a visit to the doctor, he got a clean bill of health. That was great because Robert and I had plans to go to Nashville for the weekend for my Vanderbilt 10 year reunion. GJ came to B’ham to stay with Maxwell and we had the BEST time on our trip. I loved seeing all my friends and visiting our old haunts. The best part of the trip though? Pulling back in at home and seeing Maxwell smiling and waiting! Plus all new pansies planted in our yard by the one and only fantastic GJ!! Awesome! Lots of details about both trips to come this week but I need a night to recuperate. In the meantime, I’ve got some more pictures from two weekends ago in the yard…
There’s always work to be done around the house. Luckily Robert is pretty handy with tools…
and this provides great entertainment for Maxwell.
There’s also always photo opportunities around the house. Luckily I’m pretty handy with the camera…
and this also provides great entertainment for Maxwell (or maybe that’s just the leaves).
There’s also always bugs around the house. Luckily they aren’t all scary, hairy spiders like this one…
eeeewwww.
I’m outta here.
But not before wishing my cousin Amy a VERY happy birthday!! Hope it’s a GREAT one!
It was a great time both in Naples and in Birmingham with all of you!
Stephie was right, nothing like seeing Maxwell with a smile waiting for us as we drove up. GJ, I don’t know how to explain it to people, but my father was right, you are a nothing less than amazing. Naples was fun despite the rain and Vandy was a blast getting to reconnect with Stephanie’s great group of friends. Wish plans this week were as exciting!
I’m happy to hear Maxwell didn’t get sick. I didn’t realize you headed back early and then lucked into another GJ visit! That Maxwell is one lucky boy!! Glad to hear everything went well!
We are off to Italy. We will miss the daily blog. We will be looking forward to seeing these happy sites soon.
thanks for the shout-out! Love Maxwell’s camo shorts! 🙂
