PL 2016 ~ Week Nine

We picked up some things for the house, got to get it ready for closing! We also had to take Fritz to the vet for a boo boo on his head. I told him not to worry, chicks dig scars. All this work and stress made us hungry so we also had to visit two of our favorite places!

PL 2016 ~ Week Eight

We helped Logan and Roxy move into his and Cameron's apartment this week. They have taken care of everything themselves and we are so proud of them. However, we all miss him and Roxy terribly.

PL 2016 ~ Week Seven

Took Tam to the doctor's to get her ankle checked. He said he had taken three bone pieces out and thinks it should heal fine. I thought it was really sweet of her to get dressed up for the visit. :) Fritz was very protective of her the whole week; I think it wore him out. Nafia was just glad he left her alone.

PL 2016 ~ Week Six

This week was spent getting ready for Tam to have surgery on her right ankle. Everybody else just hung out and was there in case she needed anything. I made homemade alfredo for the first time, thanks for the recipe Jacque. Everything went great with Tam's surgery! As we were taking her home she got a text saying we had an offer on our house!!! So exciting! The only thing is we have to be out by April 1st, we haven't even looked at other houses and Tammy can't walk for while. It's ok, we got this!

PL 2016 ~ Week Five

 
I bet you think all we do is hang out with our animals. Well not true, sometimes we travel with our animals! This week Fritz and I visited his Aunt Jacque (my best friend) in Memphis. We left really early so he slept most of the way and then demanded to know were we there yet when he woke up. As you can tell, my arm is his favorite pillow in the car. But what can I do, just look at that sweet face.

PL 2016 ~ Week Four

Look, snow!!! Ok look, a light dusting of snow. Here in the south we take what we can get. It might not have been a lot but Fritz was fascinated with it. Tam and I had a night away together, had lunch at Mooyah Burgers, Fries and Shakes, and wrote our names on the wall!

PL Week 4: Lawn Fawn Yeti, Set, Go and color pencils

PL 2016 ~ Week Three

This week was all about work! We worked so hard even poor Fritz had to go in to the office. Not only did Fritz have to work, Logan spent an exhausting amount of time teaching Orion how to fly. Not really sure how that's going to go.

I bet you didn't think I was coming back! We have had so much going on this year but I think I'm at a place where I can catch up on PL. Hold on to your seats because I hope we're about to zoom through what the year has brought us so far.

The first week of a brand new year! We really enjoy the new Nothing But Noodles!!! So good! We're also working with Orion so he can get used to everybody.

Project Life 2016


Sorry this is so late, 2016 has already been a crazy, busy year! I wish you could see how great the gold embossing looks on the brown cardstock. The picture just doesn't do it justice.

This year.
This is going to be the year that we live with purpose. We are going to do random acts of kindness. We will give away smiles. We will help; no judgements. And love.
Just love.

Project Life - Last Week

The end of a beautiful year! A year full of beautiful memories, and some very sad ones. The loss of two people who meant so very much to Tammy. A year of reconnecting with old friends. A year of growth. But most of all, a year full of love.

I love spending Christmas with my family. It's the best gift ever. Mom & Pop came to the house for Christmas Eve. Kayley got to came out also. We saw Tam's family for a while Christmas Day, but most of the day we got to spend together just us.

Project Life ~ Week 51

I've had the best week! It was so full of happy surprises! Next week is my birthday and that's why this week was so awesome. One of my surprises was Duane coming to spend the weekend with us! It was so good to see him. He brought me a birthday cake that said "Mappy Birthmas!" He also went with us when Tam took me to pick up Orion! I had no idea we were getting him so soon! Tammy & Logan also took me to see the new Star Wars! It was fantastic! Oh, don't want to forget the kids. They were too cute dressed up in their "ugly sweaters" for their Christmas party. It really was a wonderful week!

Week 51: Hero Arts Trees, Birds, & Messages, Tombow Markers

Project Life ~ Week 49

Busy week! We got the house ready for Christmas. Love our new tree and the wreath that Mom & I made. I am in love with our table this year, done with a little help from our "professional" glass blowers! We had a Christmas dinner with our Long family, very nice. Fritz helped me make our Christmas cards. We went to Atlanta and Tam got an early Christmas present, a bonded pair of finches. They are so cute, she named them Fred & Ginger! Sophie likes them too. We had a family dinner at a new place, Burger Fi. Not our favorite.

Project Life ~ Week 48

We had Thanksgiving at our house this year. You can tell who didn't do any work (Pop & Bailey.) :) Tam was a great help and she brought me some beautiful roses. Fritz even offered to help clean up.

Remember I said we had to take the kids to Orbix? Well this week we did. I think they had a good time and of course Tammy and I both had to make another one. So much fun!

Project Life ~ Week 46


What an adventure we had this week! Tam surprised me with a trip to Orbix Hot Glass! We had the most amazing time blowing glass to make ornaments. I actually made one called cupcake, so cute. Oh and we had to drive through a place called Lick Skillet, AL. So funny! We're going to have to bring the kids to do this!!!

Not a lot going on this week. Tam and I finally caved and bought a king size bed. Everyone knows it was more for the dogs than us. :) Fritz thinks it's just for him, silly dog!

I love these 90s kids! Logan & Kayley dressed up as Wanda & Cosmo from the Fairly OddParents for Halloween! They look adorable! Kayley did a great job making everything.

This week was also Tammy's 50th birthday! She wouldn't let us give her a big party so we just had dinner with a few friends.

Project Life ~ Week 43

This week is 18 years! Eighteen years ago we had our Commitment Ceremony. We've had our ups and downs, good and bad, happy and sad...but we still love each other.

Our first date was at Cypress Inn and we try to go back every year. This year when they found out it was our anniversary they brought us balloons. Love that place; love my wife.

Project Life ~ Week 42



A week in Ohio visiting Terri and then going to see the babies! Terri took Tammy to see Ohio State vs Penn State for her birthday. Tam, Fritz and I went to Short North for the day and of course I had to go to Le Chocoholique, my favorite! We had a wonderful time with the kids at the Toledo Zoo! Fritz made lots of new friends on the trip and was so good. The only sad part of our trip was that Tammy's "work husband" passed away while we were gone.

Project Life ~ Week 41

I am a little behind getting my Project Life on here this year so the next few days will be the last weeks of 2015. Project Life 2016 will be coming soon! :)

Not much going on this week. Fritz finally realized that Sasha was alive! He wasn't sure what to think of her but I think she is growing on him. He also wanted to drive this week and wasn't happy when I told him he wasn't old enough. He then decided to sleep the rest of the ride.
