The Hamberlins: Summer 2009 So Far

It seems everyone has a blog these days, so I decided I would try it out as well. For those of you that are friends with me on Facebook, I apologoze in advance for the duplication. The Summer of 2009 has come upon us fast, and will be gone just as fast as it got here...July is 2 days away...unbelievable. Our Summer started out super busy and has conitinued on that same course for the past 2 months. Right now July is looking slow, but something tells me it will be packed with more stuff soon! May started with a welcoming party for Macy Brewer who was born on January 28, 2009...she was 7 1/2 weeks early. Macy turned 5 months yesterday and doing wonderful! Then there was Mother's Day weekend...a nice quiet relaxing weekend here in Auburn. On Mother's Day Lawrence and Claudia made me my favorite breakfast, French Toast, and it was awesome! Mother's Day weekend was followed by the Annual Calagaz Crawfish Boil at the Calagaz Bay House. We packed up and headed down to Mobile Bay for the weekend. We dropped Claudia off at my Mom's house, and she stayed there until Memorial Day. The Boil was great and the company even better! Great memories are always made when we get together! Lawrence and I then headed back to Auburn for a short work week...we headed to the beach on the Thursday before Memorial Day. However, those three days in Auburn were busy...we had Lawrence's Birthday, so I took him to a Braves game, and then he had a golf tournament with a dinner that we went to following the tournament. Thursday we got up and headed to the beach. The trip was great, the weather not so much...it rained the entire time. So we had to find other things to do besides lay on the beach. We went to a winery, shopped, and went to Seaside and heard a great little band in the amphitheatre there. Oh, and we both got some much needed rest! We wrapped May up with hearing a great band from Oxford, Mississippi, Blue Mountain, the Touchdown's Crawfish Festival, and a day trip to Lake Martin.

So then June was here, and it was looking like we wouldn't be that busy. Oh how things change! That first Friday we got a phone call from some friends whose parents have a lake house in South Alabama. They had the house for the weekend, and asked us if we wanted to go down there with them. So we said yes. We got down there Friday night, and then Saturday we spent the day in the sun and water. It was a great weekend with great friends. Claudia and her little friend, Hannah, had a blast together! We took Claudia to her first Braves game...tickets were a $1, so we thought why not! She loved it, and still talks about it! When she sees a baseball stadium on TV she assumes it is the Braves stadium and says she has been there...it is too cute! The next weekend we just hung out in Auburn, but we spent time at friend's houses catching up on things. Father's Day weekend we headed to Mississippi to see Lawrence's Dad...I will post those pictures separately. So that is the Hamberlins' Summer so far. Now I will try to keep things caught up so my post won't have to be so long! Enjoy the pictures below!
