Tennessee

I have really been a traveler this summer but am home now until Thanksgiving when we are hoping to go back to TN. While in TN on this past trip, I helped my mom celebrate her birthday. It took almost a week but we did get it celebrated and I think she isn't done yet! My niece Jessica had us to her new, gorgeous loft in downtown Nashville for dinner. Jess is an incredible cook - YUMMO!! We had lunch with my mom's friend, Patty King at Miller's in Christiana. Then on the actual day of her birthday (Friday the 5th) I took her shopping for a new pair of shoes - thankfully we found just what she wanted at the first place we stopped cause neither of us care too much for shopping. Then we ate lunch at Demos in Murfreesboro. Jennifer, Sam, Claire, and baby Kate joined us. Sam told the waiter that it was Gigi's birthday, and that his was the next day. They brought mom a piece of cake that Sam and Claire made quick work of :-) Then on Sunday we met Dale, Linda, and Marianna for lunch at Camino Real in Murfreesboro. Lots of fun!

While I was in Tennessee I had two photo sessions with my favorite subjects, my nieces and nephew. I took pictures of just the kids one afternoon and then on Saturday I went back and got the whole family. Here's a sampling...
