Easter

April 19, 2022

We woke up bright and early Easter morning and were happy to see that the bunny had brought some treats!

The bunny also hid our eggs in the wrong yard! Oops! Sometimes the bunny outsources and, well, good help is hard to find.

We then got all dressed up and managed to get a few pictures in before it started raining. It was a misty, yuck morning but at least it wasn’t pouring rain…yet!

Samantha wore one of my old dresses like last Easter. This bluebird dress was smocked and sewed by GJ and Susu and it makes me so happy to see her in it! I need to find a picture of me in it!

We went to the new church we’ve been visiting and it was a really nice Easter service.

As soon as we got out of church we hit the road to Montgomery…in the pouring rain! The kids also realized they had forgotten to stick in their iPads so had to try and entertain themselves on the drive with no electronics!! How in the world did they survive?!

Turns out, they survived just fine! They actually talked to each other and had fun together! Imagine that?!

We met Lou Lou, Grandaddy, Jenny, Ronnie, Katie and Anna at the country club for an Easter feast and then some visiting back at the house.

That evening we were lucky to have a break in the rain just long enough to have our neighborhood party and egg hunt! I think we had a record number of kids and plenty of fun! Love this tradition.

It was a wonderful Easter from morning to night despite the weather!

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2022

Happy Valentine’s Day! The kids all have parties up at school today and took in their Valentine boxes and cards last week. Samantha and I worked so hard on her box and it turned out FANTASTIC! We bought the Narwhal parts off of Etsy and had fun covering the box (well I did that part!) and decorating it!

Maxwell didn’t have to make a box but he wanted to and made a cool Gorilla Tag one. Nice job!

Spencer isn’t really into this sort of thing and luckily his box from last year – that Maxwell made most of – was still around so he was more than happy to just re-use it! Perfect!

Falcons

January 13, 2022

We gave the kids tickets to the Falcons game the day after Christmas so we were up and out the door early on the 26th to drive to Atlanta! It was a beautiful day for some football and they had the dome open!
