Our Blog

This blog spot is primarily a photo/memory album for our family. It also serves as a way for us to share what is going on in our lives with our friends and family that don't see us on a regular basis. Ashley, Worth, Ellie, Emma, and Mack

Playground and family update

I've gotten behind once again on updating the blog. We've had a busy couple of weeks. After traveling to Athens to watch the Dawgs lose to South Carolina last weekend we returned to Valdosta on Sunday with news that my paternal grandmother, "Bobbie" as I called her, was not doing well. I went to Tifton on Monday to say one last goodbye to her with the rest of my family, and she passed away Monday night. She suffered for about 8 years from Alzheimer's disease and finally her body couldn't take it any longer and her kidneys failed. I know she is better off in heaven where she doesn't suffer anymore, but we will still miss her so much. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease, to find out more information or to donate, visit www.alz.org.

On a lighter note, I will spend this week gradually updating the blog. Today is Ellie's 3rd birthday and we suprised her last weekend with a swingset/playground that Worth put together. She was so excited and the pictures are below. This past Saturday we had a birthday party for her at our house. I will post those pictures later with pictures from our family celebration that we will have tonight.

Please excuse Ellie's bedhead in the pictures- she had just gotten up from her nap when we took her outside to see her new playground! As you will see in the pictures she was VERY excited!
