Been awhile...

I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. I had a bout with the flu last week which kept me quarantined to the spare bedroom for 4 days. Swine flu is going around here like crazy, but I'm 100% now. Football is now halfway done...woo hoo. We're just working and enjoying the weekends. The rain finally stopped! It flooded the neighborhood pretty bad and they had to rescue the elderly from the water across from our house. We didn't have any damage, just a soggy yard. I was finally able to mow yesterday. Hopefully after the rain we get this weekend, it'll start to cool off around here.

Funny

I was going through some pictures last night, found this one, and HAD to post it. Shelly rented out some lanes at the bowling alley for Jackson's birthday. Frank had been eating fried mushrooms and chicken wings. As he picked up his ball, I guess it got too heavy and he farted. Shelly, unaware of what just happened, walked right into the stench as she was getting ready to bowl...CLASSIC!

Labor Day Weekend

I only had Sunday off during the holiday weekend but we managed to hit the lakehouse and enjoy some good food. Susan did a low country boil with shrimp, red taters, sausage, and corn. It was great! Mackenzie enjoyed hanging out with Grant and watching some of his movies. School finally started today so no more early morning practices...woo hoo. Hope everyone is doing great.

This Old House

We were going through some old pictures and found some of the house before we bought it. We still have quite a bit to do before we decide to sell, but we're making progress. The first picture is of the house before it was renovated. Three guys bought it and stripped the insides and put siding on the outside. The second picture is the house when we bought it. The last picture is the house now with the landscaping and deck on the back. We're hoping to repave the driveway soon and put a new roof on.

Before the renovation...



The day we bought it...




Here is what it looks like now...

Back to the grind

Back from Indiana and this week seems to be going by pretty fast. College football started last night and Indiana won 19-13...woo hoo! I've got football games tonight and tomorrow night plus saturday morning clinic tomorrow morning. I'm already looking forward to basketball season.

Mackenzie goes to the Dr. today for her 2 month checkup and to get her first round of shots. I'll be taking her since Sally doesn't want to see her get the shots...haha. But, I'm sure she'll do fine.

That's all for now!

Indiana!

Well, we finally found a weekend to drive up since having Mackenzie. It was a short trip but we had a great time. We spent the night halfway and stopped in Greenfield to see Grandma and Pa on Friday morning. Stephanie was there with Dylan too. Then we headed up to Dad's for the evening. We went out to eat and relaxed the rest of the night. We trucked over to Mom's Saturday afternoon and visited with the fam. Ate some Pizza Hut and hit the batting cages too! Sunday we had breakfast and played a little miniature golf before leaving town. We stopped in Bloomington Sunday evening so I could relive my glory days at IU. Sally and Mackenzie really seemed to like it there and Mackenzie even picked up an orientation packet...haha. We got up and did some campus sight-seeing Monday morning and then headed back to Georgia. It was a quick buy enjoyable trip. We'll be going back up over Christmas.

Now it's back to the football grind. We have 2 and a half months and then a much needed vacation in Daytona over Thanksgiving. After being in Indiana, I'm ready for some fall weather. It as great up there. Now why did I move again?
