20 years

October 5, 2015

Happy Monday! This past weekend we headed to Montgomery for Robert’s 20th High School reunion. Robert got to see some old friends, we both did a little birthday celebrating, and we all got to meet the newest member of the family! Robert’s sister, Mary Beth, had her baby on September 27th so we got to spend some time watching football with 6 day old Margaret Louisa Walls. What a treat!

The boys thought she was pretty neat.

She kept making little noises and Spencey said, “Baby Mah-get’s squeaking!” ย ๐Ÿ˜‰

Baby Mantha wasn’t too pleased when I was holding Margaret. Jealous much?

We’re so glad she’s here safe and sound and happy to have another girl in the family born 8 months to the day after Samantha!

We also had some cake to celebrate 37 and 39! woohoo!

For the reunion, Robert and I stopped by the high school football game on Friday night. It was pretty cold with drizzly rain but still fun for Robert to see familiar faces and allow us both to wax nostalgic about the good ole days of Friday night lights, football, and cheerleading! An after party at Francie’s provided plenty of stories of days gone by and maybe even an embarrassing yet hilarious picture or two. On Saturday we went to the cocktail party at the school and enjoyed visiting with everyone.

It really was a good weekend with several fun things packed in. You know…20 years out of high school (well, 18 for me!) sure doesn’t look or feel as old as I used to think it would. Cheers!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Sunday Shower and Soccer

September 15, 2015

First, happy birthday to Uncle Keath!! Hope it’s a fantastic day in sunny Florida for you!

Second, it was a big day around here on Sunday! I drove down to Montgomery for Mary Beth’s baby shower and, thanks to a cancelled sitter, Samantha got to put on a party dress and go with me! Well, she actually ended up putting on 2 party dresses…the first one didn’t survive the ride down! ย ๐Ÿ™‚

It was a fun day and Samantha and the boys can’t wait to meet their new cousin in October.

Back in Birmingham, Maxwell had his first game of the new soccer season! He’s got the best coach on the field yet again…

He’s the green team this year and combined with his new orange shorts and shoes…he’s looking SHARP! Susan went and watched the game and stood in for me as Maxwell’s main cheerleader. I’m so grateful she was there. It was a fantastic game from what I heard. Maxwell hustled and got after the ball and even scored 3 goals!! woohoo!

Here’s to a great Sunday all around!
