What’s Happening with the Miller’s and Upcoming Area Events!
May 10, 2010

With spring time in full swing, things are starting to get busy. There are many events and celebrations that fall this time of year. At the end of this blog I will list some of great events happening around Auburn and Opelika. There are too many to list but this will give you a ‘flavor’ of what is going on in the area.


Anna, Ella and me enjoying Mother's Day! Hope all the mothers had a great day!


To start with I want to update you on what’s going on with my family. We found out at the end of April that we are expecting our second little girl! Ella is very excited about having a baby sister. I am not sure she fully understands what is about to happen. Ella wants to name her baby sister “Ella” or “Thomas”. I am pretty sure neither of these names will pan out...we are still undecided on a name so we will just call her Baby Miller 2.

Above Baby 2 is looking at you and below is waving at you!


If you follow Auburn sports at all, you know Auburn baseball has been doing really well lately. Ella and I had the chance to go see Auburn play Mississippi State last Friday. As you can see from the pictures Ella enjoyed herself. This coming weekend is the last scheduled series at home versus Tennessee. On Friday night you can enjoy fireworks after the game and on Sunday kids are able to run the bases after the game. So there is fun for everyone at the ball park.  Click here for ticket info.


Ella is eating her favorite pre-game meal, fries.  There is 'big' hint here as to what next week's review will be about!

Ella cheering on the Auburn Tigers!  She says over and over again, "Auburn Tigers Everyday"! She doesn't have a chance! :)

Ella and her buddy Brooks at the game.  "osh" as Ella calls Josh is hold them!  The fireworks scared Ella but were much more enjoyable after an Auburn victory!


As I mentioned in my last update blog we were going to celebrate Anna’s birthday at A-Day. We had a good time and you can see a few of the pictures below of how Ella enjoyed Anna’s birthday just as much as Anna did!

Above Ella is helping Anna blow out her candles.  She loves singing 'Happy Birthday.'  Below she is swinging in Anna's new porch swing we got her for her birthday!

I also mentioned in my last blog about the sundown concert series at Kiesel Park. This year it has been moved to Town Creek Park off Gay Street in Auburn. Every Thursday night in May from 6-7:30 there will be a performance of live music. Everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic and enjoy the park and music. I have been once in the past, and it is a fun event. Check it out if you get the chance or click here for more info.


For the music lovers there are two events starting in Opelika too for you to enjoy. The first is NoonTunes on Wednesday’s. Starting last week and going through the month of May there will be a concert at noon at the Courthouse Square. The other event, Summer Swing, begins tomorrow. Summer Swing is every Tuesday evening from May 11-August 10. The event begins at 7pm in Opelika’s Municipal Park. The Rocky Brook Rocket, a vintage train will offer complimentary rides. For a schedule of acts performing check out the Opelika Park and Recreation site here.

 The last event I want to tell you about is a new one to me. This weekend on Saturday and Sunday, May 15 &16, Lee County Master Gardeners is hosting a tour. There will be 7 private home gardens on tour as well as two public gardens. You can get tickets in advance for $15 at Blooming Colors, Auburn or Opelika Chamber of Commerce and Southern Crossing.
