The Chair

Matthew had a great time climbing in and out of Grammy's little chair. It is the chair she would climb in and out of when she was a little girl.

On the Road Again

We were in Atlanta this past weekend for Maxine's graduation. We stayed down in McDonough with Grammy. Matthew loved her cats, well, the little he saw of them. They preferred to stay in the basement away from him. He made sure they knew he was still there as he peered through the cat door and yelled byyyyeeee byyyeee. I still cannot understand why they wanted to stay in the basement. :)

Friday, we went to the Georgia Aquarium. Matthew had a great time! He really liked the beluga whales and said bye bye to them even after they were out of sight.

Saturday, we dropped Matthew off at Ellen and Jack's. Ellen and Jack were in the mountains so Caterina's babysitter,Ms Jean, kept him while we went to graduation and lunch. Maxine graduated with honors and received an award! We ate lunch with Maxine's entourage, picked Matthew up, then went to Maxine's for a short visit.

Here are some pictures from the weekend.

Fun Fun Fun

We had a great time in Kiawah! To fill you in on what we did I will just tell you Matthew's new vocabulary additions - "ahpeh" aka airplane, "bee" aka beach, "wawa" aka water, "Deet" aka Pete, "Ahm" aka Sam, "ahpuh" aka alligator (note: easily confused by adults as ahpeh), "buh" aka bike. We had so much fun riding bikes, playing on the beach, kissing Sam, following Pete, and looking for alligators that we forgot to take many pictures. I just got a few of Matthew and his cousins.

This is your chance

Tomorrow we are leaving for Kiawah Island, SC! Precious and Papa are taking the whole family on vacation! So this is your chance to break into our house and rob us. Of course you may have to tussle with Nam on your way out of the house!

Holiday Weekend

We worked in the yard a lot last weekend. We finally have a lawn! It took a trip to Tupelo for St. Augustine sod, but we sure are pleased with the results. I will take some pics of the yard soon. For now, here are some pictures of Matthew playing in the mud:
