How it all began...

So I've spent the past hour or so reading different blogs. It's amazing the kind of personal stuff people write about! Anyway, I was sitting here thinking about how Bryce is almost 3 years old (August 19). I looked back as some old pictures from when he was born. I had a rough time and was in the hospital for 7 or so days (pre-eclampsia), but thankfully Bryce was born healthy. In the picture above he is about 2 hours old. I would attach a picture of me with me, but I wasn't looking so good. He is my precious boy.

The Winner of the Tour de France...

is Bryce! Who knew? Isn't he a little young?

Bryce is wearing his cool new helmet and the medal he won at school in a bicycle race.

Dream Vacation...

If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be here.....Bora Bora, French Polynesia. My dream vacation!

I found this picture on the internet...

of my friend Rebecca, her husband Cedric, and their daughter Celia. They bought a Harley a couple of months back and their picture was posted on a Harley web site. Cool!

CHARLIE...

I can't wait to see "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory"! I really like the campy one from the early 70's, so I'm sure this version by Tim Burton will be so much better. Maybe I'll go with my friend Jane this next week or so.

Steve and Katie

Here is a picture of my brother Steve and his friend Katie. I'm not sure if they are currently dating, so that's why she is called "friend". Her dad is a famous songwriter, Bob McDill, here in Nashville. She invited us to a cool croquet party back in May. Bryce loved it!

Mommy and Bryce

This is a picture of Bryce and me back in May 2005. Uncle Steve invited us to his girlfriend Katie's croquet party and we took a moment for this cute shot.

Happy Independence Day!

Bill's sister Trilby came to Nashville from Chapel Hill, NC this weekend. We had a great time. We went to the zoo, shot fireworks and all of us played with Bryce's new "stomp rocket". Lots of fun.

Our Furry Children

Our cats - Phritz on the left, Phranklin on the right.

Look at this hair!

This is a picture of Phil Spector at his murder trial last month. Do you think he's tying to make some kind of statement? As in "I'm crazy"?

Can you believe he's almost three?

I love this picture of Bryce. It was taken by one of his teachers at school after playing in the sprinklers a couple of weeks ago.

Beach Memories

Bill and I went to St. John/US Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands when I was pregnant with Bryce in May 2002. I wish I were there right now with my toes in the warm sand and water lapping at my feet. A breeze blows my hair away from my neck. Not a care in the world...things seem so simple when you are on a beautiful island. I think that's why I like the beach so much. It's certainly not because that's where I get my savage tan!

Bryce at Graceland

I've been looking through some old pictures and I found this one of Bryce at Graceland back in Nov. 2002. (See the flame. It burns constantly...) Bryce's 1st trip!

Sweet Baby Bryce and Trilby

Here's a picture of Bryce and his Aunt Trilby back in 2003. This is such a sweet picture. Bryce loves his Aunt Trilby!

Welcome! Our 1st Post...

WELCOME to Alford Antics, the Alford family blog! We thought it would be fun to have a place where we can share our thoughts and photos with friends and family. (The above photo is of me, Bill, and Bryce).

Birthdays and other Stuff

Here is a nice picture of Shirley and Bill back in May. We had a nice visit in Charlotte, NC to celebrate Shirley's birthday, Bill's birthday, and Nicole and Bill's anniversary.
