Alli News

Alli has had lots going on lately!
For her birthday, Papadoc gave her a set of pink golf clubs, and her Daddy has been working with her in the front yard. Here are some pictures from a recent "golf lesson."

Gigi came for a visit last weekend. She kept the girls while Brad and I went out with our supper club one evening. She also made a pound cake while she was here ~ and Alli helped her! Alli loved her first baking lesson!

Brad ended up with 2 tickets to The Masters on Saturday, so we went out to The National for a couple of hours that afternoon. The Greers were nice enough to keep both of the girls on very short notice. Brad and I had a blast! Brad, of course, has been out there more times than he can even count. For those of you who don't know, he caddied at The National during Med School, which meant he got tickets to The Masters every year. So awesome! It also means that he is a terrific person with whom to walk the course; he certainly knows his way around and also knows all kinds of random "little known facts" ~ everything from the names of the individual holes to the story about the Eisenhower Tree. I had such fun! I have only been out there once ~ with Brad and Alli, who was only 3 weeks old! This time, I was able to pay a little bit more attention to my surroundings without needing to care for an infant at the same time.

While Alli was at the Greers', she and Maddox had their first official car date! I had Stephen take this picture ~ afterall, she won't be allowed to go on another car date until she is at least 15 years old, unless her Daddy is driving her!! :)
Baby Boots was along for the ride, too, but in her stroller.

We found out a couple of months ago that Alli was accepted into the preschool program at EDS (Episcopal Day School) for next year. After much prayer on the subject, Brad and I are so excited that she will be attending!! Our baby girl is certainly growing up! Brad was so cute; after we got the news, he hopped in the car and drove down to the school. Alli now has an EDS sweatshirt and pullover ~ neither of which will actually fit her for quite sometime, but they are fun to have. :)
