Bama/Va Tech Game

We had the best time in Atlanta for the season opener against Virginia Tech! It was so great to see so many good friends from college. A big thanks to Amy and Matt for being such great and gracious hosts to 20+ people only two weeks after moving into their new home! Here are some pics from the weekend. I'm definitely going to miss the season opener in Atlanta next year. Each time we've made the trip it has been so fun and exciting.

Florence, S.C.

This past weekend we traveled to South Carolina to visit Robert's family. We hadn't seen the Adams crew, including the niece and nephew, since Mother's Day last May, and boy do kids change in three months! We were amazed at how big they were. Tal was riding his bike without training wheels and looking more and more like a little boy and Tess was crawling! We had a great weekend with everyone and of course ate like kings off Mimi's and Nana's wonderful cooking! We left on Sunday loaded down with yummy leftovers (didn't have to cook Monday!), fresh veggies from the garden, a super cute bag Robert's mom made me (to be featured in a later post), and even a cactus Papa's potted for me!

Here's Miss Tess, now nine months old, in the beautiful dress MiMi made for her.

Tallon loves cooking with Mimi and his mom and likes to help in the kitchen. He's a pretty versatile chef - frying squash and adding sprinkles to cupcakes!

He's also quite the talker. Can't remember what great story he was telling us here but look how into it he is! Kinda looks like he's trying to sell us a ponzi scheme! Who could resist from a kid that cute and persuasive???

Miss Tess loves her Mimi!

Robert got a new gameday shirt for his birthday! He will definitely put that to use this fall.

It was so good to see Robert's Nana and Papa. As usually, we brought PaPa some of his favorite Conecuh sausage out of Evergreen, Alabama which he can't get in South Carolina. It's our standard peace offering to ensure we get some of his fried fish each trip home.

Here's the big boy on his bike...

We had a great visit! Loved seeing y'all!

BEACH!

We had a great vacation with my family in Destin last week. We celebrated Robert's graduation, his 27th birthday, and not having to go to work or school or worry about anything other than sleeping, eating, outlet shopping, and laying out for eight whole days. It was wonderful! Thanks to my family for a great time. The boys got to play some golf, we had lots of fun just chilling at the beach or by the pool, and we ate some great seafood.

One day we headed over to Lilian, Alabama to visit with some of our family on the Summerville side, including my dad's older brother, Uncle Richard, and his sons and their families who live there. Check out the slideshow of pics for their super cute kids: Alex, Erin, Bella, and Jack Summerville. We'd hadn't seen them in forever!

Kyle and I got a kick out of my cousin Wes and his wife Jenny admonishing their cute and mischievous little boy by using his full name with a phrase like, "Jack Summerville, you come here!" Out of my dad and his six siblings, my brothers are the only male Summervilles aside from my cousins Rick and Wes, so we're not used to hearing that name when it doesn't refer to us. My aunt Cathy and cousin Christina and her husband and sweet boys were down visiting as well, so we had a full house. It really was a great time with family.

Here's the view from our balcony and the pool area.


Some more pics from the week are below. For the full album check out the slideshow at the end of the post.

Ultimate Tourney Champs

Robert's corporate ultimate team recently completed in a charity ultimate tournament at George Ward Park. After winning several games in the morning, they advanced to the semifinals in the afternoon and then made it all the way to the championship game. You're looking at the winning team after a long day of competing--practically 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Congrats to Team BE&K. Here are a few shots from the game taken by one of the guys on the team who's pretty handy behind the camera.
