Spring in Mobile....

Spring time in Mobile CAN be amazing... this year it seemed that Summer was just too anxious to arrive and crashed the party early... Our hydrangeas were amazing... for about 2 weeks... the heat has since sucked all the color out of them and they are just barely hanging on waiting for the next batch of shade or scarce rain shower. But they were pretty while they lasted!

Last year we had all pink... this year we had some blue, purple and pink!



My lime trees are getting ready for late summer mojitos!


Our agapanthus are holding up much better in this heat... we added a few new ones this year that will hopefully bloom later this summer. I love the height of these plants... the blooms easily reach 3-4ft off the ground!


Found this stowaway in the grass recently!! I've since found 3-4 other baby basils nearby as well... guess next year I should just check my grass before I buy a new plant!

Happy first (official) day of Summer!

Welcome home Elizabeth!

On Monday March 7th, Elizabeth joined our family! She weighed in at 5'12 and was smiling from the start! As any new parent can agree, she has changed our world inside-out and upside-down! Each day is a new adventure and a new photo opp!! Here are a few from her first few weeks....



This is the fabric that I used in her nursery for the crib skirt, bumpers and the valances... I'd wallpaper my house with it if I had enough, i love it!



Check back soon for new pictures of our little love!
