Alright, I know - I have slipped into my old ways of letting weeks go by without a post. However, trusty Marget will definitely let me know when I need to get back on the saddle and update the blog. Sorry guys, with vacation last month and birthdays galore - I am slowly recuperating and adjusting to the hustle and bustle of football season and yes, getting ready for the holidays!
The end of August we took the kids on the Annual Kappa Alpha Order beach trip and fun times were definitely had by all. Fortunately / unfortunately we missed last year due to the arrival of Tom and Elizabeth and a prolonged stay in NICU. Regardless, we were back this year...not quite in our rare form at the Florabama as usual, i.e. shutting down the fine establishment and then heading over to the Waffle House before the cab ride home, but we were back. Let's just say going to the beach with two kids, barely one that are not walking definitely makes for a work-out. We could not have survived without the extra hands and free babysitters - thanks Connell, Brandance, Ashleigh!!

Happy Birthday Uncle Robs!!!
In between the beach, we managed to throw in a couple birthday gathers for the brothers - Robert and VJ. Since VJ hit the big 3-0, we had to party in style at one of the "urban lounges" in Birmingham. The party was great and I think everyone had an awesome time. Yes, the twins did make it to the party, but don't worry - Steel is smoke free and they left before things starting getting out of hand!
VJ and the photo birthday cake -
a picture of him 4 years old "drinking" a Busch beer
The entire family made it to the resturant
Tom and Elizabeth both loved the bar pretzels, after mom licked the salt off
So that's what we have been up to - I promise I am back on the saddle and we make another entry soon! Thanks for always checking in on us!
