Falling Creek

July 23, 2025

Maxwell was back for his 7th and final summer at Falling Creek Camp. He was actually a camper for only six years because the covid summer camp was cancelled – but we did family camp that summer so I’m going to count it! I wsan’t sure if he’d want to go back again this year but he had zero hesitation and was more excited than I’ve ever seen him. I think the appeal of being the oldest campers there was big!

Obligatory Traveler’s Rest photo the night before drop off…

I would say I’m going to miss my nights in the Hampton Inn at Traveler’s Rest but, don’t worry, I still get to stay there for Greystone!

Maxwell couldn’t wait to get to camp the next morning. When I got the photos back from drop off I had to compare to last year because he has really grown!

Maxwell knew almost all of the boys in his cabin – it’s all of his friends that have been coming for years together. They all hit the ground running and clearly had fun with the photographers the entire session. I think I got the best pictures yet and it made me so happy!! These boys are too cute and fun.

We got this pic the first day or so…

and my friend knew it looked familiar and sent this…

and then I wanted to cry. Sweet friends from their first year at camp to their last. As she said, “Time flies, things change yet remain the same…friendships, a dirty face, a buzz cut and a BIG smile. So Grateful for FCC.”

Lots more camp pics to come!

Would love to hear from you! 1 Comment

4th at the pool

July 11, 2025

We had a fun 4th of July up at the pool! Spencer was still at camp but the rest of us beat the heat in the water!

Thankfully both kids had a few friends up there!

One of the swim team coaches was running all sorts of fun games for the kids – and she was very good about getting everyone to participate! These girls especially had fun with them…

and won some prizes!

Of course there were splash contests! Maxwell, I mean Gerald, gave a good showing in the biggest splash!

As did Robert! Unfortunately, his ear drum didn’t cooperate. Ouch.

I made a very good showing in the adult smallest splash contest but…no picture of course.

I’ll just leave these here with no comment…

It was a fun day at the pool! The boys then played golf and I went home to make some peach cobbler with my all-American girl!

Happy 4th!

Between all the baseball games and practices over the past two years, the boys have also put in lots of time at DBat with Trey.

Trey is awesome and I’m so proud of both Maxwell and Spencer and how hard they work.

catching up

June 24, 2025

In the past three weeks I have driven from Birmingham to North Carolina to Birmingham to North Carolina to Birmingham to Tennessee to North Carolina to Birmingham to Georgia to Birmingham to Tennessee to Birmingham. And Thursday I get to go back to North Carolina again! I. am. tired. But it’s all been for fun stuff! I’m more than a little overwhelmed at all the pictures that need to be recapped and shared so starting with something easy today…adult fun! In between all the kid’s activities Robert and I have had some fun ourselves!

I took a quick trip to Naples to go see the comedian Leanne Morgan with GJ. She was laugh till you cry funny!
