Lake in the Fall

 The weekend after Thanksgiving we headed to the lake for some R&R.  We took a little detour to Montgomery on the way down to watch the big tennis star on the courts.  

The lake in the Fall :) Lots of fun!

What's Up Doc?! Mary Alan's 6 mo Check Up

Happy HALF Birthday, Mary Alan Elizabeth!  

You are sitting up, scooting around in your walker, scooting backwards on your tummy, smiling, laughing, eating baby food, and making us all fall in love with you more every single day! 30th% for weight and height. 

You are more than what I hoped and prayed for. We cannot imagine our lives without you and I look at you everyday and cannot believe you are mine. You are a piece of heaven here on earth.

Happy Thanksgiving 2021

We spent Thanksgiving day with my family at the Laney's house. It was a wonderful day of delicious food and special family time. The day after thanksgiving we went to the Ceases' for more of the same. I love this season of reflection and giving thanks to God for all the blessings He has graciously given us. These three are at the top of my list. 

This picture. It will always be one of my most dear possessions. The day after Thanksgiving our GG suffered from a heart attack. Thankfully the actual heart attack was relatively painless but the damage to her heart required her to have open heart surgery. More on this in an upcoming post, however the memories we have with her from Thanksgiving Day are so dear. Truly the best of the best.

Top Dog of the Week + Friendsgiving

 John Collins was Top Dog of the Week and got to take Spot the Dog around to all his fun activities for the weekend. Proud of this soon to be KINDERGARTEN boy! 

We enjoyed lunch at the park after church with our dear friends for a Friendsgiving feast! 

Excited about this season of Thankfulness. 

Sound of Music Ballet

 Mother daughter date to see the Sound of Music ballet at the beautiful Lyric theater. 

So much fun with my big girl. She loved every minute. 

Caroline Plays Basketball

Caroline tried something new. It was not her thing, she did not enjoy it, she looked cute, we quit mid season :) Proud of her for stepping out of her girly comfort zone and I think we will stick to piano, tumbling and dance from now on! 

Dancing with the Dorians was much more her speed :) 

Building on Nash Circle

 Our future home is underway and we cannot be more excited!!! The framing started right after halloween and is has gone up very quickly! Here are a few pictures of the progress.
