Our grandkids are here for Thanksgiving !


Conner is here for a few days on vacation from his school in Austin. It is great to see
how he is growing up

Last week we took Jack and Sawyer to the zoo and to ride the new train at Hermann Park

Yes, Conner has started to shave!

Are you ready for some football?








Last week we drove up to Austin to see Conner's last regular season flag football game against the 6th graders at St.Gabriels Middle School.
Conner is a dynamo on defense and made several good plays.

Vandy Coeds go to Washington




Last weekend I met my three roomates from Vanderbilt in the nation's capital to celebrate our (gulp!) 60th birthdays. Since we still feel 18-ish (mostly when we are with each other) it was fun to get together and see the town that George Washington built. Hilarity ensued as did frivolity and a wee bit of gluttony as we ate and drank our way from Georgetown to Foggy Bottom

Big Man on Campus


Ready to hit the road to Austin, TX for the first day of school at TSD. Conner was packed and ready to go at 6:00 A.M. We fixed his room up the way he wanted and he met the other 24 boys in his dorm and I said farewell! Just until friday though. No tears - Yay Grandmommy!

Jack and Sawyer had their own first day of school adventure up in South Bend. See the Tennesseegans for photos.

Aunt Pat visits da boys


We were delighted when Aunt Pat from Jersey came to visit while all the men and boys were here. She is very dear to us and we loved having her all to ourselves. She was even here for Sawyers 2nd Birthday party.

A good time was had by all!
