Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
He gives up his spare time to coach all the sports…
He shows up for the big and small things…
He definitely keeps us laughing…
What we love most about him though is how well he loves us. You’re a good one, Robert Brown. We’re so lucky to have you.
Happy belated Father’s Day!
Maxwell and the group of 6th graders at Cathedral Church of the Advent have been going through confirmation class the past several months. It’s been quite a commitment and I’m been so proud of how Maxwell has upheld that commitment! He only missed Sunday confirmation class two times – once because he was sick and once for a scout campout. They also went on a weekend retreat. Yesterday was confirmation day and Robert and I actually decided to get confirmed and join the Advent as well. Ronnie was Maxwell’s sponsor and everyone was able to come in town for the service and lunch at the club after.
It was a special morning and I’m glad we could all be together. I guess we’re Episcopalian now! ha! The denomination doesn’t matter much to me but what does matter is that the kids have a good church home with a thriving youth group and lots of buddies. Advent fits that bill and we’re happy to be there!
Happy Mother’s Day this weekend to all of those that love us so well! We love you Susan, Lou Lou and GJ!
And a special Mother’s Day shoutout from me to the best momma in the game…
GJ’s the best. Period. Hard stop. No further questions needed.
Make it a great weekend!
GJ finally had to head back to Florida and we hate to see her go…
but happy that she’ll be back in about a week! yay!
I think it’s safe to say I’m officially a Swifty now! We made the trip to Atlanta to see Taylor Swift in concert and – wow! – what a show!! This was Samantha’s first concert and I’m not sure how anything is going to live up to it! We stayed at the Omni right next to the stadium and that was key. We just had a quick walk there and back after the show which was really nice. We were all ready to go nice and early!!
It was thankfully a beautiful day and the Swiftys were out in full force and full costume! The people watching was top notch. We were definitely in the minority not having on sequins. But Samantha and I felt pretty darn cute in our matching tie-dye!
GJ had on her Lavender Haze shirt…
and Delaney looked fab too!
We had our Lover heart eye too!
Taylor Swift fans must truly be the nicest fans in the world. Everyone makes friendship bracelets that say song titles or lyrics and hands them out and trades them at the concert. Samantha came home with a stack of bracelets!
We finally made our way down to the floor level where our seats were and I think Samantha was blown away! I was too!
We got some food and sort of listened to the opening acts and then the countdown was on!!
Samantha was so excited I thought she was going to cry. Sometimes with events like these, the anticipation is so great that the actual event can’t live up to the hype. That was not the case here!! The show more than lived up to the hype and was incredible!!! We’d been listening to the setlist in the car for weeks so she knew almost all of the songs and that made it so much more fun for her. I obviously loved seeing Taylor…but watching Samantha see Taylor? That was the VERY best!!
She performed for over 3 hours and it was just so good. Samantha stood on her chair the whole time (except during the Evermore album when she sat!) and held on to me and GJ’s shoulders all night. The best! And thank you to whoever the sweet lady was behind Samantha that never complained once about her standing on her seat!
Our seats were 15th row at the top of the T and when she came to the top of the T, she was so close to us! Samantha was waving and waving to her and I’m sure she saw us! 🙂
We danced, we sang, we screamed, we lost our hearing…we LOVED it!!
What a show, what a night, what a perfect memory!! Taylor Swift fans for life!
