Week in review

January 15, 2016

Around here the last week…

I had to go down to Naples unexpectedly last Friday. GJ had a little procedure but happy to report she is now heart healthy! There were no worries back in Birmingham because Robert held down the fort tremendously!

I got back into town in time to watch the big Championship football game on Monday night! We were dressed in our colors…

roll tide

and ready to cheer Roll Tide! It was definitely a good game and we were all very pleased with the outcome! Maxwell has especially gotten into watching football with Dad! He asks a LOT of questions…not sure how much Dad was enjoying all those questions during the first half of the game Monday! ha!

Also this week, Maxwell built the Lego Police Station he got for Christmas…

and has been very proud getting all of his Legos displayed in his room!

Spencer has had a little cold (KLEENEX!!) and stayed home from school Tuesday. But, he was feeling better by Thursday so got to go play with Jairus and Sebastian at school.

Samantha has been all over the downstairs in the walker we brought inside. Video here. She’s loved it!

That’s a wrap on a great week! Here’s to a long weekend ahead!!

Happy Friday!

NYE

January 11, 2016

Happy Monday everyone! We’re almost finished recapping the holidays but still have NYE to get through! Let me tell ya – it was exciting! 🙂 Robert and I actually had fun plans and met a bunch of friends for lunch at Bottega. We then all went over to Sam and Emily’s house for desserts and cocktails. It was a good time catching up and chatting with everyone.

NYE

We were home by 6:00 just in time to watch the AL playoff game! Our little cheerleaders were in their colors and ready to go! Roll Tide!!

football

The game was a total blow-out. AL 38, Michigan State 0! Woohoo!

football

I was asleep by midnight and rung in 2016 just the way I liked…asleep! The next morning our new year started off with a bang – or really with a flat…

flat

Not the best way to start the weekend. But, Robert got it fixed that morning and we were good as new in no time…flat. 🙂

Happy new year!

Christmas Day

January 6, 2016

After Santa toys were played with and pancakes were eaten, we all got dressed and headed down to Montgomery to spend the day with Robert’s family. The weather was warm and muggy with plenty of rain – not great driving weather but we made it there and back with few issues, thank goodness. There were some tornado warnings for Birmingham that day so we’re thankful we didn’t get caught in any of it!

The cousins loved playing together…

Samantha loved getting to check out baby Margaret…

She also loved getting plenty of attention from the grandparents…

And she especially loved eating anything she could get her hands on including crackers, pancakes, and cake!

In fact, all the kids enjoyed some cake (and not much else for lunch!) I think!

The adults had a delicious lunch prepared by LuLu…and some cake too…and some pie! 🙂 Robert and Ronnie obviously texted each other that morning about wearing their dark red checked shirts.
