Welcome to Texas Luke!

Big sister Hannah was super excited to head to Texas and introduce everyone to her little brother! Always LOVE to be surrounded by our family - we love & miss all the cooking, baking, laughing, visiting, hugs & kisses that we share with everyone while we are back home so much! Jason, Lisa, Aunt Kurly & Uncle Ricky were the first ones to come meet little baby Luke - such sweet pictures...we have so much fun together!











A sweet visit from Sherry...



And of course we love every minute we have with Nana & Papa - so thankful for our times together! Love you so much & enjoy coming home, especially with Hannah & Luke!









Sweet big sister loves her little brother soooooo much! What a great trip we had with everyone - miss you all and love you so very much! Ready for our next Texas trip! Love going anywhere with these two!

Austin City Limits

Jet Setter #2 - AKA Luke - and his travel pro sis Hannah, were excellent travelers as our family headed out on our first trip together! My college sorority sister Carolyn, known to all her friends as Gump (her last name), was getting married in Austin and luck had it that most of my girlfriends and their families were able to attend! Spending the weekend at the W in downtown Austin was fabulous, we ate lots of yummy Mexican food, soaked up the Texas sun and had a blast with old friends!




Then there was the wedding - it was amazing! It was the first wedding ever to be held inside the Moody Theater inside Austin City Limits! Wow! Complete with a gospel choir that performed before the ceremony, to the open bar & cocktail hour that begin before the ceremony - there was much fun to be had by all! Gump looked beautiful & everyone had a blast dancing the night away to the band, and the flash mob dance crew to Thriller, all under a peacock feather chandelier!







Even more fun the next morning when some of us headed to breakfast with the kiddos in tow! How amazing to see our children together - loved spending time with friends! Attempts at a group shot were not fantastic...but we tried! Miss everyone so much! Cannot wait until our next reunion!

Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day Daddy!
LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Hannah & Luke
(And Mommy too!)

Smith Wedding

I LOVE weddings! Family or friends, summer or winter, big or small - I love to go weddings...not surprising that Hannah does too! Ever since she watched our wedding video with us on our anniversary (9 years believe it or not!) she has been talking about weddings - perfect timing that we attended the Smith wedding this past weekend. Rob & Kathi Smith were some of the very first people we met when we moved to Huntsville, they lived right across the street from us! Rob's sister Christina, and her husband Luke(an attorney like Mike) live in ATL - but when we met them at countless family functions, we became instant friends, having much in common. We love traveling to ATL to stay with them, and Lincoln and Emmie are perfect playmates for Hannah and now baby Luke too! Jeff, the youngest of the Smith clan - played soccer with Mike and Rob - and it was his wedding that brought us all together...





We dined, we danced, we ate cake, danced some more and took some crazy photos in the photo booth! Unfortunately my camera battery died shortly after the ceremony so I did not get many great photos at the reception - a few not so great pics that I took with my phone are all I have! Oh well! The kids were all up way past their bedtimes...but had a blast on the dance floor! Mike & I enjoyed our evening - our family of four all had an amazing night out! Congrats Jeff & Ashley! What a beautiful wedding!
