Bye 2015!

Tonight I was just looking back through pictures of 2015. It's been harder to do pictures these days, bc of an old laptop, but I thought I'd take a little time to do it anyway. I came across a couple of pictures of Rowan. It is always so surprising to see the difference from one year to the next.




 Then there were these of Lydia from a Saturday morning in the cabin in Mentone, when the light was coming streaming in from the lofts upstairs.



So cute. They have both grown so much, but Rowan's changes seem more drastic to me. I'll have to look to see if I can find some of the ones of him smiling, missing his two front teeth!

Rowan and Lydie and Last Day of Kindergarten

They sure do love each other. He's staying at Grandaddy's this week, and though we know he is having lots of fun, we are missing him. Lydia's especially missing her "brover," as she calls him.






Last day of kindergarten, and at first he wasn't looking so happy about something...


Then he saw his sister heading his way...


Not sure what was happening here, but


we got a picture.

50th Anniversary Party

This weekend we celebrated 50 years of marriage for Fran and Clancy. For the party, a chef from Huntsville/Nashville came in and cooked a five course meal.
 
 

We started with a fruit plate
 
Rowan really enjoyed watching her prepare the food.


Visiting



Uh-oh...not the finger! Don't mess with her cheese plate.

Candle light dining

Beef Wellington after, and it was delicious!
 




 

 
Baked Alaska was for dessert.

 

We were all thrilled when it was confirmed that a blow-torch would be involved...and that we could "help" with that part.
 





 
Rowan wanted to pose with the guests of honor.


 
Many tales were told about their young marriage together, their time in Spain. It was so nice to hear the stories.
 





Lydia took this picture. :)




 

Happy Anniversary!! We love you.
