Potty Training

I don't think any of us are ready for this, but I bought a potty so we could all get used to it. He actually sat on it. I couldn't believe it! Nothing happened but it was a good start. I won't miss changing diapers but I think we have a few more months before we can really make a go at this potty training thing!

Chuck E. Cheese

We took Dallas to Chuck E. Cheese last night. What a nightmare for adults! Dallas would not sit still so we could eat the terrible pizza because he wanted to go run around so badly. Of course we could not just set him free, so one of us ate while the other took him on some rides. They don't have very much for his age so we rotated through the same five rides for an hour. You had to stand there by the ride and throw your child in as soon as the other parent took theirs out so you had a chance to ride something. People would just jump in front of you. It was crazy-- like trying to get a parking space at the mall at Christmas. He had a good time but we won't be doing that again any time soon.

Get Well Soon!

Bebe and PawPaw went to New York City to celebrate their anniversary and brought back these cute t-shirts. They all had a chance to model them while we were visiting. We hope everything went great for PawPaw today and that he is feeling better real soon!

The Clampett's

Forgot to show this picture of us as the Clampett's on our way back to PA. Somehow we always end up taking more home than we came with!

DaDa's Finally Home!

We are so excited that DaDa is home. He had a productive and fun trip but we wanted him back. I picked him up from the airport in Greenville, SC and little Dallas was already asleep. I called BeBe on our way home and asked her to wake him up. He was really groggy but they had a nice reunion. We want to thank Nana and Poppy and Bebe and PawPaw for having us and letting us take over their houses with all of our stuff. We appreciate all of your hospitality. It was so nice to be able to visit with everyone. It was fun seeing Uncle Whit and Uncle Justin and Aunt Kellee too! Dallas really loved playing with all of ya'lls dogs. We are back in PA now and it is good to be back. I wasn't sure I would ever say that but we really missed our home! There is lots of snow on the ground and it is really cold but it is still good to be back!

Visit with Great Grandmother Roberts and Reid

Yesterday we went to see Great Grandmother Roberts, or Mimi, in Charlotte. We had a very nice visit and enjoyed seeing her. Dallas had fun playing in BeBe's rocking chair. On the way back we were able to stop and see Mommy's friend, Reid Steedly. She has a beautiful new house and we were so happy to be able to see her. Thanks Mimi and Reid for having us!

Happy Valentine's Day

Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day. We missed DaDa but BeBe and PawPaw made sure we still had a special day. We had a babysitter and PawPaw took BeBe and I out to dinner and to see a piano player and entertainer named Emile Pandolfi. We had a great time! DaDa also managed to send Mommy a roses all the way from Australia! How sweet!

Visit with Teague Family and MawMaw

BeBe and PawPaw took Dallas to visit with his cousins, Rebecca and Haeden, yesterday. I wasn't able to go but really missed seeing everyone. It looks like everyone had a great time. Rebecca was very sweet loving on Dallas but as you can see from the pictures, he wasn't quite sure what to think! Thanks to Rebecca for sharing her toys with Dallas. Haeden is growing so fast and they are both such beautiful children.

Fun at Ripley's Aquarium!

We had a big day today! We went to the Aquarium in Myrtle Beach today and then went for a boat ride. We watched the stingrays being fed and looked at lots of pretty fish. Dallas really enjoyed the moving sidewalk with fish, sharks, and turtles swimming all the way around you. We really enjoyed watching Dallas ooh and ahh at everything! Thanks for taking us BeBe and PawPaw.

Ride on the Boat!

We went for a ride on PawPaw's boat today. Yes, it was cold, but we bundled up and had blankets. Dallas loved looking at the birds, watching the water and driving the boat with PawPaw! We wish DaDa could have been with us to enjoy our fun day!

At the Beach

We are in Little River, SC with BeBe and PawPaw. We ate the best fried shrimp in SC yesterday and then got settled in the condo. We are having a great time and are so happy to see BeBe and PawPaw. DaDa made it to Australia and is having fun. When he arrived it was 80 degrees and they took him waterskiing! We miss you very much DaDa!

New Haircut!

Happy Birthday Paw Paw!

We want to wish Paw Paw a very Happy Birthday!

We had a big day today. Dallas is 18 months old today. I took him to the Edventure Children's Museum. He had so much fun. They have a life size firetruck that he had a blast playing on and they also had a international exibit where he had fun playing the drums and dancing to African music. After the museum we went for his first haircut. He sat in the seat and played with a helicopter and ate animal crackers. He did great! The haircut looks great too and they gave me his strawberry blonde curls in a little bag that said, " First Haircut". We are winding down our trip in Columbia and will be going to see BeBe and Paw Paw on Saturday. We are very excited about visiting with them. DaDa has called several times and is quite homesick. We really miss him too!
