The Past 4 Months in a Nutshell

Since I’ve been a horrible blogger the past 4 months I’ll try to hit the highlights!

~ The Steelers WON their 6th Super Bowl!!

~ Mary, Prasad, & Nathan Abraham came to visit us!!

~ While the Abraham’s were visiting Amy & Emma drove from Huntsville so the kiddos could play together.

~ After having my Civic for over 7 years (it was a ‘99) James caved and bought me a new car!! We got a 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor which we LOVE!!

~ James got me XM Satellite radio too. Can’t live without it now!!

~ We took Marlie to a lot of Nashville Predators Hockey Games. She gets so excited when we go to the games.

~ Grammie came from PA to visit us at the end of February and Marlie got very spoiled.

~ We got several inches of snow on March 1. Grammie was here and didn’t like that very much! She thought she was getting away from the snow.

~ Lipscomb hosted the ASUN basketball tournament and we got hooked after the first game. We went to all the rounds because Marlie loves the Bison mascot.

~ James’ high school friend, Kyle, game to Nashville for a visit.

~ Poppa came to visit in the middle of March, all the way from PA too!

~ Marlie learned to count to 10!!

~ Marlie says 4-6 word sentences now:) She talks non-stop and is so funny these days!

~ James, Erika, Becky, Annie, Alyssa, & I saw Butch Walker, in concert, at the Exit-In.

~ We spent Easter weekend in Centerville with James’ mom’s family!

~ Marlie loved the 3 egg hunts she had over that weekend.

~ Marlie and I flew to PA for a week long visit.

~ We got to visit with Nanny & Pappy, Grandma & Grandpa, visit high school friends, celebrate Patrick & Brenda’s wedding, and see all the cousins. It was a GREAT trip.

~ Marlie & Kira became best friends. We can’t wait to have Andrea, Josh, & Kira come visit us in July!

~ While in PA, Marlie had her first ice cream cone from the Ice Cream Station!!! Best place to get ice cream……..too bad it’s 650 miles from us.

~ Erika & Annie completed their first half-marathon if under 3 hours. We were all so proud of them!!

~ Marlie went swimming for her first time since last year. Still loves the water.

~ We celebrated Annie’s 20th birthday…….can’t believe she’s 20.

~ The Harpeth river flooded because we have had so much fun this spring. However, my flowers are beautiful because of all the rain we’ve gotten.

~ I had the best mother’s day with Marlie & James. I had breakfast in bed, went to the zoo, and got treated at Olive Garden. What a great day:)

I think that wraps up the highlights from the past 4 months. Here are a few pictures from the events. I’ll try and do a better job updating.
