Edgeworth Family Adventures: July trip to Nashville

Scott recently brought home some very anemic looking tomato plants for our garden. He explained to Brett that they would need some love. He said, "Brett, I need you to water the plants." To which Brett replied so earnestly, "Is water love??"

I cannot believe it is August already which means the boys, including Brett, start school in a few weeks!

Last month we took a very spontaneous road trip to Nashville for cousins Andie and Brady's birthday party. We left Dallas Friday night around 6:30 and rolled into Nashville around 5 am. The big boys slept fine but the baby definitely objected to sleeping all night in his car seat. From about 2 am on he did that annoying cry-out-every-five-minutes routine while he was still asleep! Needless to say Scott and I got no sleep but managed to sneak a few hours when we arrived at Carrie's. Another major reason for the trip was to see Carrie's new Nashville home! They recently purchased a gorgeous home about a mile from their old house. The new house is definitely Carrie. Perfect for entertaining with beautiful flooring throughout, a gorgeous open kitchen (very difficult to find in Nashville for some reason), huge windows and lots of light. Best of all a pool which is where the kids spent all day Saturday. I especially loved the sunroom off the back of the house overlooking the entire back yard and the surrounding green hills. Nashville is stunning this time of year.

We could only stay a few days and had to drive back on Tuesday but it was worth it to see our Haslam cousins and the new house. I think that is one of the greatest blessings of our living in Dallas. Frankly a family of 6 does not fly anywhere cheap so we are extra grateful the Haslam's are within driving distance.
