The Emster got a little loose in turn two yesterday, working on changing a tire...which she often enjoys doing! Lil' E has already been on the horn, he needs a new crew chief.

Miss "Abry"'s Birthday

<- Avery Podraza at 1

The girls were treated to Chick-Fil-A lunch for "Abry" (aka Avery's) birthday over at Miss May's. Looks like Emilie enjoyed her Chicken and cake!

Let's grow somethin...

Our first attempt at gardening started this past weekend. A Friday night trip to Pike, and about 7 hours in the garden on Sat/Sun, has resulted in seeds in the ground…now we’ll see if we can nurture them to actually vegetables!

(Emster overseeing the work here on a Monday morning. )

We’ve got carrots, okra, peppers, green beans, cucumbers, squash, pumpkin, and tomatoes…along with some herbs and flowers. I’m sure I’ll screw this up before too long, but maybe we’ll get lucky!



Emilie and I got some good time together while AM was kicking butt on the tennis court yesterday. She took in her first GT baseball game, and seemed to enjoy it pretty good. Jackets swept the Clemson Tigas…this just in, we’re good.

And so is J-Hey. Another game, another walk-off hit by the Kid. Stud.

New phrases from the lil' lady...

"I know"..."all gone"..."the end"...just some things that she's started to say very well this week. Emilie's responding very good to questions, and understands what you're asking her a lot of the time, which is nice!

She's had eczema the last couple of weeks, but it's starting to get a lot better. She looks like she's in heaven when we scratch her arms and legs though b/c even though she can do most all things with her hands, scratching is supposedly not something they pick up for a while.

We had a good wknd, hiking in Tallulah falls on Saturday, on her new backpack carrier that we just got her. This is one of 5 wknds a year that they allow kayakers down the river, and we saw a couple of nasty spills!

On Sat aft. we had a birthday party for Jamie Podraza, and Em got to hang out with Parker, Avery, and Madeline Ledom. She had a big time!

Grass is really coming in, in the backyard, so that's exciting. We're hoping to get some plants in the ground this weekend, and see if we can actually grow anything.

I've got to work on my layout tools here...think it's better to do it in word, and then copy it over. Will try that next time...

How about Jason Heyward!

The 2nd coming is here...

Emster's got some new wheels...

We had a really good Easter wknd this wknd, down at C'willa. The whole Dooley clan was there on Saturday. I think I picked up a tennis racket for the first time in over a year.

Before that, we finally got our backyard finished! Very exciting. I'll have to upload some before and after photos.

When we got back on Sunday, we went over to Ben and Sarah's for a bit, and the Emster got a new set of wheels it seems! Mr. Kennedy was nice enough to let her hang out for a bit on the hog.
