Nashville Flood 2010 May 1st

Taken from our deck. This flood is one that will change Nashville forever. Keeping many friends and Nashvillians who have lost everything but the shirts on their backs and no flood insurance in our thoughts and prayers. It's been a sad and life changing week to witness such a natural disaster in person. We feel fortunate yet are there are no words to describe how helpless it feels to see so many so less fortunate.

Franklin Mainstreet Festival

We hit the mainstreet festival again this year. We try to go every year. Unfortunately it was so crowded since they had cancelled Saturday due to rain. We timed it perfectly to see Pappy and Western Swingers & Keenan had fun dancing. They play at Robert's a lot - so we hear them quite often and always enjoy!!! If you love traditional country you must check them out! They always keep it real! Did I mention some of best musicians on broadway (played with folks like Bill Monroe, Patsy Cline, Emmylou, Steve Earle,Chet Akins,Loretta Lynn and more) ---did I mention I am a fan :)

Music Together

A couple weeks ago was Keenan's last music class (4th session of them) but I think we'll start them back up again next session. He loves music class now and asks to go all the time. He sings songs from the classes everyday. I love that he gets into it and Finley went with us this last session. She did her rocking back and forth to the music and also liked shaking the instruments. Therefore, I think this is a great activity for us to do together.

This is his teacher Angie and one of his favorite girlfriends Piper Kelton!

Good times

 

 

 

 

All in all it was a great time. Movie night for kids, some wine drinking by the mommy's, pool time, park, Blue Angels Naval museum tour (pics of those to come), beach time, kite flying, eating oyster and shrimp out, and even the long 8 hour drive with three kids under 3 had it's fun moments.

Fearless Keenan

 

 

 

 

Keenan isn't normally the 'daredevil' type but he was fearless this week of the water. I had to be careful with him because he would of just run straight into the waves if we wouldn't of stopped him.

Pictures for Daddy

 

 

 

 

We tried to time these pictures for daddy, but it wasn't as easy as we thought... These were our best out of many tries!

Finley with her first Coke (of course, she didn't drink it but thought the parents would be proud of her reaching for it!) Keenan's melt down about the unsuccessful kite flying (one of many melt downs over the week:) Finley turned 8 months old on our trip! Where did our baby go?
