I’m sitting here after having eaten too much, with no witty words to start out this post. Hopefully as I start writing my wit will find me. Or I will find it. Or something. Last night, we went to visit Barkley, Jeremy and Woods in Charleston (20 minutes from where we are staying), and they […]
8 Years Ago Today. . .
. . .this slideshow was playing at a certain wedding at our Church: (be sure to turn up your sound): (and yes, we WERE brave enough to put our “awkward phase” photos in it): Make a Smilebox slideshow . . . and it has only gotten better since that day.
Sleepover Bliss
AJ came to spend the night with Ali last night, and they have been having quite the time. She came bearing gifts: a sucker. Ali had never had a sucker before:but she wasn’t impressed. She just couldn’t understand why the candy was supposed to stay on the stick, as it made MUCH more sense for […]
In Striking Contrast to Last Weekend. . .
Last weekend we had our once-a-decade Winter Wonderland. So, true to form for Mister Alabama Winter, we had gorgeous, sunny, 70+ degrees weather this weekend. And, since I’ve been telling about our day-to-day lives less lately, I decided that it was time to do a “this-was-our-weekend-(and a little of the week)-in-pictures” post. I used to […]
Snow DOES happen in Alabama!!!
LAST UPDATE on the snow: I was dying for some snow cream, so I took the only milk left in the house:And turned it into this:She didn’t mind too much:We took one last walk, with our neighbor Christie and her dog Haley, after the last wave of snow and right before it started to melt […]
Say Yes to the Dress
Ali is going to be in her first wedding in May, where she will be Gina’s flower girl. Yes, a two year old flower girl. Before she was engaged, I had told Gina that anyone was crazy who wanted a two-year-old flower girl – that you have NO control over what a toddler will do […]
Happy Valentines Day!!
I’m over at 5 Minutes for Parenting today sharing one of my own posts for a change in A Dose of Humor. Be sure to hop on over and check it out! I’ll be back later today with a real post (hopefully), but until then, you can enjoy mine and Ali’s flowers with us:(sigh). Perfect […]
The One-Too-Many Beach Blog
We’re back! Now I was going to be done with blogging about the beach. However, Chris wanted to actually go on the beach yesterday before we left. I have this very strange quirk that I don’t like going on the actual beach the day that we leave. Especially if we hadn’t been on the beach […]
A Perfectly Zippy Day
As if there weren’t already enough reasons to love Alabama, how about 75 degrees and sunny, with a wonderful breeze on DECEMBER 27th?!?! I love it. And I love it even more that next week, it will probably be in the 30’s again. The best part of Alabama winters is that you never have the […]
Oh Readers, Where Art Thou? . . .And Christmas Meanderings.
I know that I am totally just typing into thin air here, because there are fewer people on the internet today than there were people checking stock market quotes with glee and happiness all year! But unlike all of the other bloggers out there who are taking “Christmas Breaks” or some other sort of nonsense, […]
