My sister Meghan just got back from a week at the beach with her family. I can’t stand how big Taplin is getting! I stole some pictures from her online gallery…just look at this ham.

Smiling it up and getting so big! And all these pictures of Bridger hanging out with Taplin are so cute, it […]

I have to brag on my mom. She just finished this amazing quilt that she calls “Green Mountain Stars” and I think it’s one of my favorites yet!

She and my dad are going to use it in their bedroom, which suits perfectly. You’re awesome, Mom!

I was looking at some old pictures my sister has in an online album and was thinking about how funny family resemblances can be. Meghan’s oldest son Bridger looks so much like her, and when I saw this old picture of Meghan, I had to put them together side by side..

I just love how they […]

Happy First Anniversary to us! : ) Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. We celebrated all weekend…went antiquing in Fayetteville, out to dinner at an extremely delicious restaurant, and took the day off work yesterday. Here are the goodies we bought ourselves in Fayetteville…
A 1950’s Coca-Cola syrup jug, still with label:

A 50s-ish aluminum Coke crate, […]

I always thought it would be fun to own a shop called Smiling Dog. Anyway, what that is really about is the family picture I helped take for my sister-in-law. My sweet nephew Mac is 6 1/2 months old here. And my favorite part is that my fur-nephew Caymus is smiling so hugely. We took […]

I feel awesome after the long weekend. I took Friday off from work for a mental vacation, and it absolutely did what I needed it to do. I went out for a really nice breakfast with my mom at Another Broken Egg Cafe in Jones Valley - tons of food, totally delicious. The best part […]

I had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend - did you? I left work early Friday to drive down to Daphne (Mobile) to visit my sister’s family and meet my new baby nephew, Taplin. Tap actually turns 5 weeks old today - Happy 5 Week Birthday, buddy!
The ride down was pretty horrendous, with terrible […]

A couple more goodies to show off from our weekend trip to Atlanta….first of all, I mentioned that Nathan bought a lot of Dukes of Hazzard treasures from a couple antique stores in Chattanooga. Here is all of his loot:

Another metal lunchbox - but this one contains the thermos (not pictured) which is pretty hard […]

We’re back from a nice long weekend in Atlanta (Smyrna to be exact) visiting Nathan’s big sister Michelle, brother-in-law Sean, and our 4-month-old nephew Mac. We had a great time. Visiting the Flinn’s is always so relaxing!
Of course, the best part was seeing sweet Mac. He gets bigger every time we see him and he is […]

So, our weekend was pretty good - although if you couldn’t tell from my last post, I made the unfortunate decision to go to the pool for a few hours with my friend Benae but forego sunscreen. Be ye not so stupid. What was I thinking?! I haven’t had a bad sunburn since I was […]
