Life...in the Heart of Dixie!

Dinner on the porch! Loving being outside in Alabama!

Great place for our resident pyromaniacs to get their fix. :)

The seven men and their ongoing food fixing 
could absolutely turn this into a food blog! Yikes.

So much fun and so beautiful here! The Lord takes such good care of us!

Girl's shopping and gelato at Whole Foods!

Very grateful to have children that love to grow things!! 


Daddy and the Littles! Love, love, love!

Putting away the books.

One side done! We love having a happy little library. 
Most of our books have been stored for a LONG time!

Roses! Amazing bush at the edge of the porch.

Though I personally feel that life is puzzle enough, 
there are some Bowers that really love them!

When Bowers turn 10.... they mow! 
Chap is our newest mower. Yard here is 6 acres, just like Iowa! 
He mows a little bit every day and keeps it very lovely.

Goodwill had rows of desks still hanging around from the 60's. 
Good thing the truck wasn't wider. We might've ALL had our own. Ha!

Oh dear. More food. These really are VERY good Mississippi Sweet Potatoes. :)

One of our favorite parks! Thank you, Charlie!! 

Granola Day!! Soo yummy!

Chap put together the whole elliptical machine! Very sweet.

School break for blue teeth and blueberries! 

Little's built their own Fort Alabama! 

Perfect place for tea drinking and cursive practicing . :)

The church we're attending to is 2 hours away, so Sunday mornings we pass out the snacks, listen to great audio sermons and get the right buddies in the right seats. 
Crosby keeps Charlie in line. :) 

Daddy took Crosby and Campbell with him to Florida 
for his doctor's appointments. So beautiful!

Road trips with Daddy! The best!!

You just gotta to love Florida's alligator industry! This is at the GAS station! :) 

No shortage of fabulous ice cream moments!
  
Aunt Kali! Passing out the hugs!

Aunt Pandy! Passing out the love!

Bami and Poppy! Hugs and smiles and so much fun!

The beach! Good clean air.  
Daddy's appointments went great and many prayers were answered. 
Thank you for praying!!
Better breathing numbers! Praise the Lord. 


"There's not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known! 
And clouds arise and tempests blow by order from Thy throne.
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care,
 and everywhere that man can be, Thou God art present there."

One of our favorites from last Summer!
