Gavin Turns One Year Old

Gavin turned 1 on July 3. His brother Jace had fun watching him eat his cake.

Gavin's grandmommy, uncle Nathan, aunt Leslie, and cousin Caleb had fun with bubbles at the party.

Backyard Flower Garden

Edward has created a beautiful flower garden in our backyard. He built a stone walkway to the bridge that goes over the creek. Note the bridge that he is standing on - it rained so hard and so fast last night that the bridge ended up in our neighbor's yard.

New Orleans

Edward and I spent Memorial Day Weekend in New Orleans, which is definately party central. We left the hotel at 5:30 am to catch an early flight and people were still out on the street partying. One guy was passed out next to the elevators - guess he either couldn't make it to his room or forgot what room he was in. I do that and alcohol is not involved.

Jace sporting his Spiderman and Ninja Turtle Underwear

Jace came to spend the night with Nana and Edward and was very proud of his Spiderman Boxers and Ninja Turtle underwear.

Spring Flowers

Thanks to Edward's gardening talent, we have a beautiful yard.

Jace and Caleb playing the piano

Jace and Caleb played some tunes, or maybe that should be some loud noises.

Easter 2008 & Mom's Birthday

Gavin just hangs out and is such a happy baby.

On Easter Sunday my family came over to celebrate Easter and Mom's 77th Birthday.

Caleb and Jace enjoyed hunting eggs.

The Big 50

In March, I turned the BIG 50, which means that I am now the Queen of 50. Edward, being the wonderful husband that he is and understanding that March is my birthday month, had lots of fun things planned for me. He took me to Biltmore the weekend before my birthday. We started off with wine tasting and I can't remember anything after that. Just kidding. We had a nice weekend.

Birthday Party

A fun birthday party at my favorite restruant - Carrabas Itialian Grill. My brother gave me some prune juice and pina colada, for making a prun-a-colda.
