Thanksgiving in Nashville

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here in Nashville. Lynlee’s mother, father and grandmother came and we were joined by our close friend Teri Lingley with her daughter Caity from Dallas.
We smoked our turkey on the grill this year and it turned out really good. So good that Lynlee’s father, Bill, went home the next day a smoked a chicken on his grill. Among the fun for the day: Bill coached Noah on batting and fielding; we played poker with the new poker set Bill gave Lynlee; and I harassed Teri as much as humanly possibly.

Noah’s School Show
The first grade at Hunters Bend Elementary School put on a show for their families last night. The theme was “I’m Free To Be Me” and they sang songs about what they might be when they grow up. The songs were about sailors, plumbers, cowboys and movie stars. The kids really enjoyed themselves, and Noah was smiling with glee throughout the show. Click on the pic to see more.

Show Stoppers
I had the pleasur
e of taking promotional photos for Mary’s singing/dancing group, Show Stoppers. They will be performing a bunch of “Americana” music. I took head shots of the cast and the two directors. Dealing with a bunch of over-excited tweens was interesting in itself.
Since I had to get the lighting down first, I practiced on Noah.
Be sure to check back in mid-November to see some shots from the show.
Mary’s 12th Birthday
Our little girl ain’t so little any more. Mary turned 12 on the 28th of August (I’m behind on blogging, I know). Her big presents were a new cell phone and tickets to see a Miley Cyrus concert. We had a party for her while we were in Marietta over the Labor Day weekend. Her grandparents, uncle, great-grandmother, great aunt and unlce and cousins were there. Click the pic to see more.
