Toohig Tidbits: September & HG's 1st Show

 Spiffer gave me a wine pourer that is shaped like a bird and "chirps" as you pour. Cressey had endless fun playing with it- with WATER.


Livie still fits in Cressey's pocket






Suzanne and John styed with us in Oxford for the first weekend and had to do some tailgating cooking. The girls were more than eager to lick the spoons!


Ole Miss vs. Mercer




We found Ella!


And Annie!


And bomb pops! She's waited for months!



Cressey did NOT like the loudness of the game, especially the cannon that was fired when we scored. We got better at anticipating the noises.

More cooking lessons with Suzanne


We celebrated Spiffer's birthday the Sunday after the game before her birthday on Monday, and her Daniels family came up from Jackson and down from Memphis to eat and visit with us.


















The best cuddle I can get with HG these days


Leopard slugs!










Happy birthday to Spiffer!



Back to ballet!


Dumb cat



I love seeing HG carrying the CBHS cheer backpack (takes it to school on Wednesdays), and I was trying to take a pic of the girls getting out of the car one morning. Only afterward did I realize that my friend Carley was waving so big at me in the car in the background!



The last beam of the new math and science building was signed by all the students before it was placed. 






Making cookies for Granddaddy's birthday



HG's big/ lil sis revealed! Wesli and Robbie! Wesli was HG's big sis years ago in lower school, and they share a love of horses. They've stayed great friends, and this has been so fun!



Happy birthday to Granddaddy!


Casey was a little under the weather one day, so Cress and I gave him a walk and a bath while HG finished her lesson.
