Imagination in a 2 year old: Dr. Lily

We were down to visit over Labor Day — with a new baby in the house, it seems appropriate to bring big sister a gift or 2. The “doctor kit” was a big hit…

Wedding Season

My nephew/godson was married Mother’s Day Weekend; His sister, next weekend. And in between, a friend in Atlanta.

Here’s Don’s homily at St Mary’ from 15 June, 2008

Spring Flowers

A couple of years ago, John’s aunt Louise sent some columbine seeds from the flowers in her Maine garden home to Alabama. I gave them to our neighbor, Larry — and look what he did! Both Louise and Larry are working on Master Gardener standing.

Talk to the Animals

I love zoos, aquariums and museums… we drug our children (David, Marie and Daniel) through the National Zoo, the Smithsonian, the Mystic Aquarium and more. Now, it looks like “it took” as David and Michelle are already taking Lily to the Brevard Zoo and we took her to the Georgia Aquarium.

Schnauzers in knit hats

I found this picture over at Mary C’s Blog

So very cute. Makes me laugh and remember our schnauzers in their Santa hats.

A new look

I guess the new look reflects the fact that for the past few months, this has really been the baby blog. Really, I do have a life of my own. Really.

But, a new little life sure does intrigue me. To see the changes. To see the many faces. To watch how much her daddy, who really thought he wanted a boy, dotes on her. I think she won his heart on Sunday when she spent much of [his first] Father’s Day babbling “Da Da Da Da Da…”

Anyway - I’ll get back to my funny signs, and vacation observations, real soon now.

Lily at Play

Lily at home - in Florida

She’s very petite and very lively…

Marie Finishes Nursing School

Last week (May 12) I spent the day in Tuscaloosa (and Northport) celebrating Marie’s completion of her RN program. While I’m not sure how much she wanted to go through it beforehand, I know from watching her smile, that she was so very glad that she did go through the ceremony — with Kevin, Jeanne, Charlie and me to cheer her on.

After graduation we retreated to their house and enjoyed lunch before returning to the school for the Pinning Ceremony. I found that to be a lovely, rather intimate event - just the nursing students, faculty and guests. The speaker talked about how important the nurses have been for his young daughter’s cancer treatment - and how important they could be.

It was well worth the late return to Auburn to have been able to stay and share in the whole day.

The rest of the pictures are out on my Picasaweb
