We took the kids down to the lovliest village of the plain and watched the first Auburn football game of the season.  We started out with lunch at Niffers, (which is where I worked as a waitress in college) then walked around town, went to Tiger Walk, and finally in the stadium .  We had […]

Camden got his first baseball injury a few days ago.  A friend was pitching to him and he didn’t move away quick enough to keep the fastball from hitting him in the face.  This picture was taken right after it happened.  You can actually see the seam marks from the ball on his cheek.  It […]

It’s been too long.  It’s hard to get back in the groove of blogging when you’ve been a slacker for a while.  Here is a brief catch-up of what has happened in the last month or so and then hopefully I can stay caught up for a while.  We have a ton of things going […]

    Anonymous - I think that the Excellence resorts are by far the best. Glad you had fun. Charlie & Laura went to Excellence Playa Majures on their honeymoon. Gary & I are going to the Valentin Imperial Maya soon. It isn't as nice as Excellence, but at least it is —AWAY! ha! Maybe Julie & Jud will go & let us keep Luke.
    I love keeping up through your blog. Thanks for posting.

    Lacey - Brooke, your new blog design looks great! Loved your sports photos & the photo of you & hubby, too!ReplyCancel

Life has been a little crazy at our house this summer.  We sold our house so it pretty much looks like a tornado has hit us from all the packing.  With school starting in a couple of weeks, and our 10 year anniversary vacation coming up in about 10 days…things are hectic. I needed to […]

    THE MORROW FAMILY - Sweet pictures! I know life is crazy for ya'll right now. I would be super stressed…too much going on at once stresses me out! I know you'll be glad when you're all moved. When life settles down for ya'll, I want to see if you can take a good face shot of A and N…I want to get a canvas similar to the one Lee got us of Bailey and hang them. It's so good, but I can't hang just one and not have one of the the other two. 🙂ReplyCancel

    mandy - Oh Brooke, those pics are beautiful (as always)! I'm glad you took some time for that. I can't imagine your stress level right now, and I haven't done a thing to help. It will be a blessing to get away for your anniversary soon, even though it is in the middle of everything else going on!ReplyCancel

The first day of our DC experience began with a couple of museum visits.  We spent the first part of the day visiting the Archives.  Even though it didn’t mean a whole lot to them, we wanted the kids to see the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  After that, we moved on to the […]

The first leg of our mid-summer road trip (after 12 hours in the car over 2 days) was the city of Baltimore.  Some of you may know that Thomas and I lived there for 4 months way back in the day of being Newlyweds.  We have fond memories of our time there, and this was […]

Thomas and I have had a couple of days to ourselves (thanks to my parents and my sis).  Thomas asked me to go golfing with him….. for the first time  in about 8 years.  I have to be honest, at first I wasn’t very excited about watching him play 18 holes while I sat in […]
