Vanderbilt Homecoming

We went to my reunion at Vanderbilt and had a blast! I got to catch up with old friends and see Michael play! Hallie had great fun at her first Vanderbilt game!

Update

It's been a while and I am happy to report we are getting very settled in Jacksonville. I started my new job in July working as environmental attorney for the City. Hallie started "school" in August and it is going pretty well. The teacher has already filled out 2 "accident reports." The first one was because Hallie feel down and bumped her head. I thought the bump was due to her falling out of the golf cart at mom's house the day before but the teacher said no it was a new bruise. Hallie is not the most graceful walker and does not look before she walks. I am hoping this gets better with time... The second report was from last week when a little boy in her class bit her. Luckily he did not break the skin and I am glad Hallie wasn't the one doing the biting! Reed's work is going well too and it is so nice having him around more! We are having fun and I have some new photos that I will try to put up soon!

Dancing Baby

Hallie loves to dance! Here's a video of her at the Jag's scrimmage game last Friday night!

Happy Baptism (and Birthday) Hallie

Hallie turned one this past weekend and she was baptized along with her cousin Lawson. Reed's parents came in town and Reed's sister, Ashley,her husband Mark and kids - Cooper Bentley and McLaren celebrated with us as well. Ashley and Mark are Hallie's godparents. Hallie is at such a fun age! I will try to post her birthday video online!

July (and June) News

I have been delinquent in my postings but I have a good excuse - we've been moving! We sold our house in Richmond and closed in Jacksonville at the end end of June. I am sure I am not alone in that I hate moving. I loved the fact we were moving but the act itself is just no fun. We closed in Jacksonville just in time to have three days to pack up our house. It was tough with Hallie but Reed did a lot of it and we ended up having more time because our movers pushed us back couple of days! I drove the 8 hour drive back in my car with Hallie, which was actually a much more enjoyable ride than I imagined. The worst part was trying to go to the bathroom and not set down my wriggling almost one year old! (I didn't have the foresight to keep out a stroller.) Reed stayed back and oversaw the movers who didn't finish until much later than anticipated - 2 AM - and slept on the floor in a sleeping bag he managed to find in our junk since it was too late get a hotel! Anyhow, three days later our stuff showed up and with my mom to watch Hallie for me we reclaimed all of our belongings! Luckily moving in was quicker and easier than moving out. I have some pictures I will download soon now that I have a computer set back up.
