as you may know, i’m an University of Alabama graduate and so is my brother. my family has been Crimson Tide fans since i can remember. my granddad is a huge fan. now its not to say that all our family is. at the family reunion we have to deal with the likes of uncle ed and his side of the family who is pure Auburn. anyways, this year’s Iron Bowl was a great game. i was tickled with my dad’s reactions (when he wasn’t piercing my ear drums with same reactions). reminded me of him dancing around on the bed in some random hotel in vermont when we went skiing in new years day of ‘93 when Alabama won the national championship game.

went hanging out halloween weekend & the first sunday of november for my annual family reunion. this was the first time that lil’ Brooks was able to meet Great Granddad Brooks, whom he’s named after. we had a great time staying over at the farm and hanging out with my cousins/aunts/uncles & siblings. good times. here’s a little photo slideshow

It is game day week! This might be the best time of the year for Erin & myself.. or it can be the worst. We are terrible, but we love our teams and many times our highs and lows hinge on the results of the football scores. Right or wrong, a bit much or totally understandable, it makes our falls a little more interesting.

We are excited that our teams have started off with wins, might not have been the move impressive of wins, but they are wins none-the-less. University of South Carolina Gamecocks beat North Carolina State & the University of Alabama beat #7 ranked Virginia Tech.

Every fall, the first Sunday of November the Richardson family gathers in Banks Alabama for our annual family reunion. Its generally a weekend deal for us. We go to Birmingham, meet up with the siblings & parental units, then head down Banks on Saturday for the ‘fish fry’ then gathering on Sunday morning.

Here’s some of the photos from our Richardson Family Reunion in 2008
