Crazy Weather out there...

Pat Kenny's wedding weekend...

The Mrs's decided to stay at home, rather than sit on I-16 for 5 hours, so I went to Pat's wedding hans solo.  It was a great time hanging with a lot of folks I haven't seen in some time.  The wedding was out at Epworth, and the reception was at a nice house just off the village.  Here are a couple of shots from the reception...

Nice house.  This is the front yard (tent) and pool that looks out into the ocean.

of course I had to stop for ice cream on the way back



While I was gone, we had some work done on Em's room, as we got beadboard put in.  AM sent me a little video too.  Emilie is loving her new radio player in her room, as evidence by her fantastic dancing moves!

Great story

Clayton Kendrick-Holmes graduated from alma mater Springwood back in the late 1980's.  Pretty impressive story on Veteran's day. 

Willie Wright - Noseguard

After two gut-wrenching regular season losses to the same team, the Howard Sheppard's pulled out a miraculous win in the playoff finals of pee-wee football last night in S'ville.  Reports have been surfacing abound the Internet of a fierce 45 lb Noseguard who was wreacking havoc in the opponent's backfield all night. 

Congrats lil' Man!

Are we ever going to get sidewalks?

After almost 2 years of back and forth...we finally are getting closer to getting sidewalks.  However, we're still not there yet.  They've torn up our front yard...but no grading has been done yet.  Someday, someday...

Thanks Bobby...

After 20+ years as the beloved Atlanta Braves Manager, we finally bid adieu to the only manager most of us have ever really known, Bobby Cox.  If you grew up in the South in the 80's and 90's, you grew up an Atlanta Braves fan.  And by default, you grew up loving the Skipper.  His constant backing of his players, his rants with Umps, the always interesting, and sometimes befuddling, postseason decisions.  It's been a helluva 20 years, no doubt. 

Bobby led us to 14 division titles, and one World Championship.  Sure, there should have been more, and Bobby is in part to blame for that, but you can't discredit the man's desire to win, love for his team and the Atlanta Braves.  He has helped take our franchise from the doldrums of baseball, to the most popular team in the country not named the Yankees or the Sox.  These last 20 years have brought about many, many great times, and certainly a lot of heartache, but that's what sports do.   

We'll miss you #6...

Two year old!

 Hard to believe but two years ago today, our little lady bug was born! While the last two years have gone by so fast, it's hard to imagine that there was a time that she wasn't around! Emilie is growing like a weed, learning new things every day, and is constantly making us smile. We had such a good time over the last week celebrating her birthday. A fun trip to Burts Pumpkin Farm over the weekend, a birthday breakfast celebration this morning, and a fun party at her school with all of the other October birthdays in her class. Our little girl was worn out by bedtime tonight, but still had enough energy to give us a sweet "Night, night- I love you" before she fell asleep. Happy 2nd Birthday Emilie!
