Big Weekend

Sam and I went to Fairhope this past weekend and we had so much to do! Saturday we went to Ben's basketball game (first victory of the season! A win in overtime- very exciting!!), then Sam went to play with his cousins Will and Claire while I went to my friend Marguerite's baby shower. Next, Sam got a haircut and then we went to my friend Lacy's house to visit. After that, we had dinner at Mom and Dad's house with Becca and Rachael and their families. Becca brought over their inflatable bouncer and the kids jumped and jumped in it until after the sun went down. Needless to say, Sam was beyond exhausted that night. We dodged tornadoes (Andy too on his way home from Atlanta) driving back to Montgomery but all made it home safely. Andy even had the day off today so we spent the afternoon at the zoo and out to dinner with the Garrisons.

Valentine goodies

Sam had a Valentine's party at school today. Right when we got home he started negotiations for "cookie, cookie, candy" but I convinced him to wait until after his nap. He was so tired he (okay, we!) took a 4 hour nap!!!


Mama and Daddy gave Sam a Hammer Away boat for Valentine's Day.



Sam made Daddy a painting for his office.



Sam's friend Moseley gave him an awesome Chicka Chicka Sticka Sticka book. He loves it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Sam had a Valentine's party at school today so yesterday we made some valentines to give to his friends. He liked sponge painting (even though he doesn't look very happy in this pic) and LOVED the glitter!

Greetings from "Sister"

I had a detailed ultrasound of Sister yesterday and she looks healthy but on the wee side. I am not complaining. I thought this picture turned out pretty cool. You can see her little face!!
She is 28 weeks now and due on April 30.

Super Bowl Sunday

What do you mean the Bears are not in the Super Bowl this year?! Why did my dad make me wear this jersey then?

Let's play Blues Clues

Use these picture clues to figure out what Andy and I woke up to this morning...

First, a pile of pj's on the floor....



Then, a used diaper thrown haphazardly into the trash,


Hmmm, what could be at the end of this trail??



Our darling son, naked as a jaybird, sprawled out in front of TV watching cartoons! He was as happy as he could be.
