Orange Crush

KK and Poppy got to come to Porter's game this weekend!

Porter and Andrew. Right after this picture was taken Andrew said "Now I'm going to kill you for beating us."

Can you feel the intesity?

Go Orange Crush!(I love the team name and anyone who loves REM the way I do will understand why)

The Lost Beach Photos

Here, a sampling of some of our lost beach photos from when we went to Dauphin Island with our cousins this summer. To make a long story short, we found our camera, and got to relive all the "end of summer" moments.... Look closely and you'll see Riley is flying a kite. Seriously.

Cousin Reunion

We recently went to Memphis for my grandfather's funeral and got to do some serious catching up with our cousins! We've missed cousins Nadine and Lucie, and we took the opportunity to pose in (matching, natch) our new shirts from Aunt Katie.

ABC's and 123's

We've had all kinds of new beginnings this month. Mom started teaching preschool at Grace Community School. Riley is going to the four year old class and Lizzie gets to learn sign language and other uber-important baby socialization skills, like don't hit your neighbor with your shoe, and don't eat your paper.
Porter started school today at PCS. Kindergarden is sooooo last year, and he feels very big eating lunch in the lunchroom with the other big kids. So we've got a house full of teachers and students.

Summer summer summertime......

KK reading books to Riley, Porter and Nadine at the lake.

Picking blueberries. Riley wanted me to post this picture because it shows how long her ponytail is getting.

Yummy!

Porter and his friends Ben and Andrew, lunching in the fort.

Sweet Home Alabama

Group picture after church


Me and Rachael- for those of you who remember our wedding she was the four year old flower girl! She's all grown up now and sweet as can be!


The cousins, minus Lizzie, plotting their next attempt at shooting us all with water guns.


Monnee and Mikey (aka Brice's mom and step dad) with the kids at breakfast.


A jungle safari in Alabama? No, they were just posing at Southern Adventures in the jungle-like temperatures.

Five is Enough

Finally....a family picture!

You Ain't Lion

We went to Memphis over Labor Day weekend to take the kids to see the Lion King. We'd heard it was good, but this was beyond good! Anyone that can should go.

Walkin' in Memphis

Well, their feet weren't "ten feet off of Beale" but Porter and Riley had a great time visiting Poppy and KK in Memphis for a whole week!

Crazy for Connecticut

We had a blast visiting Uncle Joey, Aunt Katie and Cousin Nadine in Connecticut for a whole week!
