Springtime Fun

Canal Cruise with our Supper Club

A couple of weeks ago, our supper club went on a canal cruise. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN!! We packed cheese, wine, and other goodies and listened to the music of a local artist, Tara Schuyer (who we decided sounds a bit like Edie Brickell) for an hour and a half. It was beautiful, the temperature was just right ~ it was the perfect springtime outing. Almost everyone in the group was able to join us. We missed the Ansleys, who had their baby girl, Ava Claire, that weekend, and we missed Tal, as well. The Hursts were in town that weekend, so being former members of our Supper Club, they joined us. :) After the cruise, we went to the Bollweevil (again) and had some yummy desserts. For those of you with a sweet tooth, absolutely nothing is better than their peanut butter chocolate pie! Sue Anne looked in the MetroSpirit and found that it was 80's Night at Soul Bar. Well, we just had to go! So most of us enjoyed a fun evening of dancing to 80's music for our "late night" entertainment. We absolutely had a blast! Mom was here keeping the girls, so Brad and I were able to really enjoy ourselves! Gotta love a fun date night with friends.





The Girls

Alli and Elizabeth have been enjoying springtime weather, as well. Brad and I pulled the little plastic "pool" out and have let them play in it; Alli has played in the sprinkler; and Brad set up the playhouse from Gigi and Papadoc that Alli got for Christmas, which she loves. And of course, we have been loving our new deck!! So we have been spending a lot of time outside, grilling out, and playing, in general.

Below are some recent pictures of the girls. Alli is 3, and Boots is 5 months. And for those of you not totally "blogger savvy," you can click on the pictures to enlarge them, which is especially helpful for the collage pictures. And yes, for those of you who will email this question to me: they really are this happy and smiley!!





Maddox came over to play outside one day, as well. He has been here a lot lately, and it is very bittersweet. The Greers, along with so many of our dear Augusta friends (Bells, Ansleys, Smiths, Carrs, Moodys, and so many others), are moving in just a couple of weeks. Life will be very different without all of them here....


The other day, I was running a virtual daycare! I had my two girls, plus Maddox Greer (2) and Addie Dayne Gregg (1). What a group! They were so sweet, though, and each one of them was on his/her best behavior. They played sweetly, and then I was actually able to get everyone in bed for a nap! :)


This is from the end of April. Alli and Maddox were doing Arts and Crafts. Alli was making a card for Brad's birthday, and Maddox was making a card for Mother's Day, as well as a visor for Emily. Boots was just hanging out....


We leave this Wednesday for a long vacation ~ and we can't wait!! We will be going to Dothan for a couple of nights, where Brad will play in the Ronnie Randall Memorial Golf Tournament. Afterwards, we will head down to the beach for a week. We are literally counting down the minutes!! :)

Britt,

Your girls are just so beautiful! I am so glad that some of us have blogs to keep each other updated once we all move. Thank you for the meal...it was very yummy!

Travis and I are so sad that we missed the dinner cruise! Looks like everyone had fun. Britt...I vote you to be our "original supper club" organizer. Maybe every year we can all get to together for a weekend in Augusta?!? That would be a lot fun!
