Feeding Time

Here's Emma being a good big sister and feeding Sam. She actually did a pretty good job!

Go Dawgs!

How ‘bout that awesome OT win. Go Dawgs. (Sam is wearing a Georgia shirt, although you can't see the "G".)

We had a good weekend. My friend, Jill, and I went to Pigeon Forge to shop. We took Sam (now 9 months) and her son Jase (almost 8 months) with us. They were SO good. We had a really good time. Emma Gail spent the night with Granny Jenn and Pawpaw Friday night while Stuart was at school. On Sunday, Stuart took her to Petsmart where she saw bish (fish).

Go Gators!

What a great weekend. The weather was so nice. We had Sam’s picture made Saturday morning (9 months) and then did a little shopping. We then went to the Meadows’ so all the guys could watch the UT – Florida game (in case you don’t know Florida dominated the Vols). The ladies sat outside and watched the kids. Emma had a blast!!! She loved the big slide, the sand box and jumping on the trampoline. Sunday, Stuart worked on a paper for school and I went to Walmart --- by myself! Oh, the small things in life.

This is for Dub...

who believes our house is a figment of our imagination!

This was taken in March, 2007 when our grass was actually green (and before the front door was painted).

Chopsticks anyone...

We had a fun night eating at Kanpai of Tokyo for my Nana’s birthday. Emma is still afraid of the fire and smoke – and apparently now she is afraid of the cook coming toward anyone as he serves their food. She loved the soup and salad though. Sam munched on Puffs all night. Actually, the floor got most of them but he was entertained trying. Hey, whatever works! We then ventured to Target where Emma skipped throughout the entire store singing “I Believe” from the movie Shrek. She would stop every now and then to look at something and ~~say~~ yell “Oh, pretty.” Then continue to skip and sing “I Believe.” I am sure everyone in Target was ready for us to leave.

Weekend

To sum up this weekend - big yard sale on Saturday along with college football. Georgia lost so the day ended on a bad note; however, Sunday started off pretty good as Auburn got beat by UCF around 1 a.m. Sunday was full of laying around as much as possible. Amy is making me take my daughter up to bed so she can have her pillow back. Emma is lying on the couch asleep and Amy is dying to go to bed. I better oblige her request, unless I want to end up on the couch.

The Latest

I am struggling to keep up with my regular website, so I started this blog in hopes of trying to be more consistent with uploads of pictures and updates of what's going on with the family.

Right now, my son, who is supposed to be asleep, is crying but thankfully Amy is downstairs to get him back asleep. I had to stay upstairs with Emma so I could reassure her that I was close by while she slept.

The short version, to get everyone caught up, is that I am at a new job, closer to home, I am supposed to be reading or studying right now for my doctoral program at UGA, and Amy and I are raising 2 beautiful kids. I hope to update pictures frequently, as many have requested updates.
