Addison Kathleen

I became an aunt again on Monday, May 18th. Addison Kathleen was born Monday morning at 11:12 AM. She weighed in at 6 pounds 14.8 ounces and measured 20 inches long. She is absolutely precious and will be called Addie for short.

Her sister, Hannah Marie, is now a year and seven months and is developing quite a personality. Everyone is thinking that Leigh Leigh will be much easier than Leigh Anna and keep trying to plant that seed with her. I must say that it makes me smile every time I hear it and would love to have another family use the nickname.

Riding the Ducks


The entire time that I was in Philadelphia I wanted to ride the Ducks. I finally got the chance when I was visiting Kathleen in transit to a conference that I was attending outside of D.C. We went to Baltimore for the day and decided to ride the Ducks. It was a fun journey that gave you a taste of the city's history on land and of course by boat. It was a good time, but I am not sure that I would do it again. I think part of the excitement was lost because we only had about 7 people on our tour.

Dogwood Festival

The Dogwood Festival takes place each year in Atlanta in Piedmont Park, which is right in the heart of the city. Steven and I spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon looking through the hundreds of vendor tents and eating some good ole food includling a funnel cake.

The open space in this picture is called the oval. It has several soccer and baseball fields that can be rented and used for league play. Our kickball team spent the first part of the season playing here. You have great views of the city skyline while you are playing.

Happy Birthday Steven!!

Ok, so I am just a little behind in posting what has been happening. Steven celebrated his 31st birthday at the end of April. We went out to dinner with a group of friends and then went bowling afterwards. Steven showed us all up with his skills. He was in a league a while back and looks like quite a pro when he steps up to the lane.
