Sunrise over Shands

I see this way too often . . . so I thought I'd share it with the rest of you :-)

We're ready for Fall and Football!

This weekend we re-did part of the back yard and planted some Fall flowers. We decided to make our vegetable garden smaller and in doing so we made room to plant our orange tree and some grass seed to make a bigger back yard. We also replaced the flowers in our flower box and hanging basket, and planted some azaleas. In preparation for the start of football season, we planted a Florida themed hanging basket and Virginia Tech themed flower box. Below are a few picture. Bailey was obviously a big help :-)

First Day of School (Again)

Monday(8/24) was my first day of school (again). Even though I've been enrolled in the PhD program for a year now and have slowly been doing research and trying to find time for a class or two, it hasn't really been my focus. Now it is . . . no more clinic. It's full force classwork and research. So, here's my first day of school picture(that Mark insisted on), and a picture of Mark very enthusiastic to go to work Monday morning. If I had a copy of my first day of Kindergarten picture I'd put them side by side :-) Here's to the last few years of my schooling!

Baseball, Cupcakes, Family and Friends

Last weekend Mark, Bailey and I went to Atlanta for a 3 day weekend. Friday night we took a picnic dinner to the Braves/Marlins game with Rachel. It was supposed to be "Friday Night Fireworks" at the game, but instead it turned into "Friday Night Lightening Storm" and we got drenched running back to the car after the game was postponed in the 8th inning. Saturday we went to Highland Bakery a delicious restaurant for breakfast, and then spent the day with my Mom and Manya. After the thunderstorms passed through Friday night the rest of the weekend weather was beautiful and there was actually a hint of Fall in the air. We took Piper and Bailey on lots of walks and enjoyed not having to change clothes after them because of heat and humidity!Mark and his Big League Chew
Enjoying our cupcakes!

Back where we come from . . .

Life's been so busy recently! We've been working a lot, and we were both sick for a whole week which put is behind with everything. This weekend we drove to VA for a very short trip to visit family and attend Scott and Maureen's engagement party. Above are some pictures from the weekend.
