It's football time in Tennessee!

L has been on a countdown for "her" Titans games. The girl just loves football! We recorded one of the UT games and now she asks to watch the "go vols" during her tv time. This is her impatiently tailgating at last week's season opener ("Can we pleeease go to the game now?"...although I think she's more interested in what snacks Ge will buy her once she gets there). Too bad I didn't get a pic after she got her face painted... it looked like somebody threw up Titans on my little girl!! Thank you, Uncle B and Angel for the cheerleader bear =)

it's a new dawn, it's a new day

Can I just say how much we loooove Nathan's new LIFE?! Since leaving the police dept., he has been home EVERY SINGLE night. We have eaten dinner as a family every night. We have played with the kids together every night. We have layed on the couch and watched tv together every night. We had alll of Saturday and Sunday to do whatever we please (a real weekend!). We have not had this life... well, ever. In nine years together. And it is MAGNIFICENT!! We are loving every second of it. AND we are so very grateful to have it! Life is GOOD. =)

I love my husband. I love our life.

P.S. I love you...

Spent some time taking photos in the FIFTY acres of sunflowers next to Nonie and Pap's house last week. Never seen anything like it! You know who would have loooooved these pics....

Oh! and the first few pics I took (including the last one of Layla shown below) are blurred in the middle. Thank you, Brynn, for licking my camera lens when I turned my head ;)
