Where did our little newborn go? Tenley rolled over for the first time today!

War Eagle

Go Tigers! I mean go War Eagle! Wait, I'm confused Auburn. Are you Tigers or Eagles? One thing is certain, the Auburn campus is beautiful.

The trip to Auburn wouldn't be complete without stopping at the famous Toomers Corner and getting some lemonade. And yes, I'm all red and look like I ran a marathon because it's fa-reaking hot here. I should really be used to this hellish humid heat by now. 

Paint me a Birmingham

Today we drove 2+ hours to Birmingham so we could go shopping! I have been forced to do all my shopping online since there isn't much here in Montgomery.  We went shopping at the Summit and it was fantastic. On the way home we took a small detour to go see the Birmingham temple. 

 

 

Traveling Tenley

Dave's parents are visiting from Utah this week and I am so thrilled to have company! In the past we have spent summers living in  the Carolinas, Boston and even New York where there are endless things to see and do.  I had to warn them that Alabama may not have quite as much to offer. With that said, our first destination was to.....(drum roll)  the First White House of the Confederacy.  I told you there wasn't much out here.

Fun Fact: President Jefferson Davis only lived here in the spring of 1861 and then the Confederate Capital moved to Richmond, VA. 

We then wandered over to the state capitol building.  Did you know that the civil rights march for voting rights (led by Martin Luther King) ended right here on these pearly steps?  I'm full of fun facts. 

 Such a good little tourist.

Less is Best

Remember how I just said that I've learned that living with less is best? Can I take it back? We got to our new apartment only to find out that our furniture would not be arriving for another week! This should be interesting trying to feed my 3 month old baby 10 times a day. Sigh.  {1st world problems....I know}

We went and bought a blow up mattress so at least we have a bed!

This girl is always smiling and reminds me all the time that she is all I really need. 

Bye Bye Biloxi

I spent all day packing our suitcases and getting ready to make the move to Alabama.  Don't worry, we only have like 4 suitcases and most of it is for Tenley.  Dave's job has taught me that less is best. At least in the summertime.  While packing, I may have lost our baby for a minute.  She is so happy and quiet and just absolutely perfect!

The next morning Dave loaded everything in the car and we were off.  T babe was ready with her sunnies!

Today Was A Fairytale

We don't get to see a lot of Dave during the summer months because he is working like a mad fool. But Sunday's are the BEST because we get to be together.  This is our last Sunday in Biloxi and what better way to spend it than at the beach!?

Get me out of this bright sun!
