Lots going on in our new neck of the woods. I just don't feel like I can catch up... hence the reason the blog has been on the back burner for a few weeks now. Sorry about that!
Here's a recap of a few things that we've been up to lately.
We celebrated Collins' first birthday at the beginning of June with a small family party at my parents' house:
We celebrated Michael finishing up residency at UAB:
We made a trip down south to the beach this past weekend to visit Aunt Abby and celebrate the 4th of July! Here is a photo of Collins relaxing in the pool...
We returned to find some progress being made on the house (as you walk into the playroom from the back door):
And the upstairs floors have been sanded and stained and are almost ready for us to move in (note- we'll be living upstairs while downstairs is still under construction):
One thing that I haven't gotten around to doing this summer is making one of my favorite recipes... Watermelon Salsa. I know it sounds odd but it is so very good. And best served with Tostito's Lime chips!
Here's the recipe...enjoy!
But there isn't time to make it this week because I must go pack. Michael and I are getting ready to spend a week away here... but more on that when we return!
