I love Cousins!

Hi everyone. Guess where I've been? Atlanta!! (Mommy says before anyone gets mad because she didn't call, please read through and consider the level of difficulty she was under...please be forgiving)

Mommy had a business trip to go on and daddy was already out of town so she packed me up and took me to Aunt Caroline! Mommy says she was a God send. I spent two whole days with Aunt Caroline, Carter and Caitie. I got to spend time with Uncle Cary while I was there too.

Here are some pictures from my trip. We flew into town on a big airplane (with a broken suitcase, carseat, mommy's laptop, my Thomas bag and a stroller). Here's me sitting in my own seat (I'm 2 now, so I get my own seat...that's what big boys do...they sit in their own seat with their seat belt on. If they don't, then the man flying the plane won't let them stay on and they have to go home).

Then mommy took me on a choo choo train to meet Uncle Cary (she called it Marta...but it looked like a fancy choo to me). Here's a picture of me looking out the window. We rode from one end of the line to the other, just like Thomas in my book "Stop Train, Stop"

When we finally got there, Uncle Cary helped us with our bags and took us to his house. Mommy left later that night for Jacksonville, FL. While mommy was on a plane, I took a bubble bath with Carter and Caitie. I LOVE bubbles! (mommy said she wished that she had a bubble bath...she didn't get to her hotel until 11:30 at night and then she had to wake up at 5:45! She might as well have stayed with me! Even I sleep later than that - most of the time. Oh yeah, she said it was a really nice room, on the water...too bad she didn't have time to enjoy it)

The next day mommy flew from Jacksonville to Philidelphia, then drove to Delaware (she said she didn't get to her hotel until 12:30 at night - but it was a really fluffy bed). While mommy was flying, I was trying on Carter's shoes....they almost fit! I also played with lots of legos.

Late that night, after a 3 hour delay, mommy finally made it back to Uncle Cary's house (2:00 in the morning to be exact). She snuck in the bed with me and when I woke up the next morning, there she was!

Carter and Caitie were so much fun. They taught me a lot too. Mommy said I learned about a 100 words over night. They even showed me how to eat my trees, I mean broccoli. They also have a really cool dog. Her name is Rigley. She's a great big GoldenDoodle. Mommy tried to take a picture of her but her camera goofed...she put it out here anyway so you could see how cute she is. She's still a puppy.

On Sunday, we went to church, then left to go home on the big airplane. Mommy said that a really cool perk of traveling with me was getting to go to the front of the security line with the stroller, which was a mile long. Who knew there was a perk to traveling with me? Right before we got on the plane, I decided to pee pee in the potty! Right there in the airport! I love weird pottys... I've been doing pretty good since I got home too.

That's about all I have to share now. I really miss Carter and Caitie and ask mommy about them almost as much as I ask about daddy. I hope to see somebody besides mommy soon...

Fall is here! (well, kind of)

Hi everyone. Lots of things have happened since I wrote last. I have a new big boy bed, my Papa Mac came to visit, and I went to the pumpkin patch with my school!



I'm talking a lot more now, putting two and three words together. Mommy says it still resembles a martian language but she and daddy now speak martian so it's ok. I'm not sure what that means, but she seems pretty happy. I can recognize some letters and I can count to 3 by myself and 20 with mommy's help. Probably higher than that...but mommy stopped counting.


Here are some pictures of daddy helping me build my big boy bed. They shopped all over the place and decided it would be cheaper for daddy to build me a bed. Mommy just realized that she forgot to take a picture of the final product...we'll post that later.



Measure twice, cut once...that's what daddy says...



Hard work requires a break.... wheeee!!
Mommy was too big of a wimp to help daddy up the stairs with the bed, so it was up to me.

Well mommy and daddy went to a sail boat show and Papa Mac came out to stay with me for a few days. We had a great time! I stayed home from school and we played in the yard, went to the grocery store, made dinner, and a gazillion other cool things. I did fall off my bed and scare Papa with all of my blood...mommy was secretly glad she wasn't here...she said Papa probably handled it way better than she would have. Mommy and daddy had the camera with them so I don't have any pictures of me and Papa this time....

Here are some pictures from my field trip to the pumpkin patch with my school. Mommy took the morning off and went with me. We had a lot of fun!
Here we are on the Hay Ride.
Goats....pew wee
Me and my friend Noah looking at the chickens.
They had a rock climbing wall to get up to the slide...I'm getting quite good at this.
I went down the BIG slide with the tunnel!!! Yeah!!!
My friend actually picked up the chicken before I could get to it. Here he is letting me pet it.
More chickens....

Here I am with my friend Cam on the Tractor. This was one of the highlights of the day!
We finished up the trip by all playing on the hay stacks!

I hope everyone is doing well. Mommy and I are leaving on an airplane tomorrow to go to Atlanta. I'm really excited. I'm going to stay with my Aunt Caroline while mommy goes on a business trip (Daddy is galavanting around in Key West again). I get to play with Carter and Caitie and their dog Rigley. I should have lots of pictures to show next time.
