AES Father/Daughter Dance 2009

Sissy and Scott are ready for the dance!

Sorry it's been so long!

I have been so busy...haven't had a chance to post any news lately! Finally, I have a minute! The Adams family has been remodeling the kitchen. Good news! We are officially finished! We are slowly, but surely getting things back in order. We are really enjoying the bigger kitchen space, mudroom, and new playroom.!

Will tried out for the 11 and under Andalusia travel baseball team and made it! They have been practicing for about a month now and he LOVES it! He also had Little League tryouts last week...whew! We are going to be spending all week at the ball park! Especially since Sissy is playing girls softball...her tryouts are tonight. She is very excited to be moving up the the "big girl" team, as she calls it. Will is on the Cardinals for Little League, and his coach is our friend and neighbor, Ben Bowden. We are all very happy about that. Will's first travel tournament is this weekend in Navarre...I will post some pictures next week.

Sissy and Scott recently went to the Father/Daughter Dance at AES. They had such a good time! I was lucky to get to go this year to help serve, so I was able to get some great pics and see my girl dancing with her dad and her buds. So cute!

Sissy's Brownie troop (I am their fearless leader!) has been busy selling Girl Scout cookies. This is our first year selling and we have really had fun doing it. I took the girls yesterday to see "Sleeping Beauty" at LBW...it was a joint venture of the Montgomery Ballet and the Andalusia Ballet Association...it was wonderful! We are so blessed to have such wonderful opportunites for cultural events in our small town!

Somberly, I spent a lot of time thinking yesterday about EHS, my alma mater, and the events of March 1, 2007....the devastating tornado that destroyed the high school, Hillcrest Elementary, and lots of homes in Enterprise. Eight innocent lives were lost that day, as well as two fine institutions that I spent many years attending and have so many fond memories of. It is a sad day, but I am proud to say that I am from Enterprise! I love EHS and HES will always hold the memories of my time there close to my heart.

Oh, by the way! We actually had snowflakes falling from the sky in Andalusia yesterday...how cool is that!!!

Welcome To Our Family Blog!

We hope you all enjoy reading about the happenings of our busy family on our new blog.

For the past four weeks, we have been doing some remodeling at our "new" house on Grand Oak Drive. We are enclosing the garage to make a mud room, a playroom, and to make the existing kitchen bigger. We are really trying hard to get organized so that every thing has it's own place, so we are adding some nice built in lockers, cabinets and book shelves to the new spaces. We are excited about our new kitchen island that will have plenty of space for me to spread out when preparing meals and room for the kids to sit at barstools to do homework, eat, etc. We are also looking forward to the new playroom so that the kids will have a nice downstairs spot to entertain friends, play video games, do art projects and all that other fun stuff that they like to do. I am thrilled about "my" new spaces, which will be an office area in the mudroom and a closet all to myself for my scrapbooking and sewing stuff. Scott is not really going to have his own space, but he might get his family room tv priviliges back when we get a tv in the playroom that the kids can watch...he's really tired of Sponge Bob! We should be done in a week or so with the remodeling...we can't wait!
