Cody's First Birthday

We gathered at the Conover Farm to celebrate Cody's first birthday. As you can tell, we all wore birthday hats in honor of the little man, and even Tom joined in the hat-wearing festivities! There was cake, presents and general merry-making all day!

Our first camping trip of the season!

The weekend before Cody's birthday, we went camping with Cathy and Rich. We took the dogs and drove a couple hours to this great location with two lakes. We had excellent weather and took advantage of an amazing hike, and of course the lake!

Flooding in Nashville

I've been talking to my parents this week about the flood in Nashville where they live and where I was born. The water level has reached over 50 feet in some areas and has greatly affected the Opryland Hotel and the Titan's football stadium among other major landmarks.

Luckily, my parents' home in Old Hickory was untouched by the waters, but my mom's office downtown was closed Monday. Here is a photo my parents took of the water as they tried to navigate around town on Sunday.
