The Variety Show

Today was a great day. Well, it was a great afternoon at least. The snow started coming down in sheets right around noon and in no time it was completely white out. The office closed around 12:15. It took me 10 min to scrape all of the snow and ice off of the 4Runner and then I spent 2 hours driving in a thick cloud of white fluff trying to pick up Micah from daycare. Finally, we got home around 2:30. Micah and I spent the entire afternoon snuggled on the couch watching movies. We've gotten over a foot of snow and it is still coming down. The pictures below were taken from our back door. Keep you fingers crossed that Tom's flight doesn't get canceled so he can get home from Houston.




Check out all the hard work Tom and Andy, his brother, put into our floors while Micah and I went to Mississippi. Thanks guys! It looks great!




Micah enjoyed his visit to Nana and Granddaddy's house last weekend. Below are pictures taken in front of Nana's flowers.

1st Play Date with Mikayla

While Micah and I were in Grenada, we caught up with Kathy and her two year old daughter, Mikayla. It was so adorable when I sat Micah in the floor next to Mikayla and he reached out his arm and put it around her. Too bad I couldn't get to my camera fast enough. They were so cute playing together. We really enjoyed Mikayla's dance moves too. Maybe at the next play date, Micah will be able to shake his toosh with her.

There's no place like home

Good ol' Mississippi. I love coming back here where the days seem longer because getting things done takes no time when everything is within 10 minutes driving distance. Heck, I can drive across town and be on my way out-of-town in less than 10 minutes. (Yes, I used the word "heck"...I am currently in MS) I've enjoyed seeing my family and catching up with my friends. Micah spent his first night at Nana and Granddaddy's house in Grenada last night. It wasn't so bad. He only woke 3 times as opposed to at least 2 times at home in Denver.


I've made all of my pit stops-- McAlister's for sweet tea and Abner's for the sauce. I've stocked up on my strictly southern items--Southern Belle shirts, Yellow Box shoes, smocked baby clothes, and misc monogrammed items. Sadly, it's time to go, but I'll be back one day. I don't know when, but it won't be long. After all, my roots will eventually start to show.









Check back for more pictures of our MS trip coming soon.

And BTW, I tried out my new memory card with the St. Patty's day pictures on my dad's computer and it wouldn't work either. I think the card is bad. Sorry, I don't think I'll get to post those pictures.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

We should see most of my blog followers soon! Can't wait!

St. Patty's Day

Since Micah could easily pass for a true Irish boy with his red hair, fair skin and blue eyes, we couldn't pass up the largest St. Patty's Day parade west of the Mississippi. We sported our green and headed downtown early Saturday morning. Micah enjoyed it all with wide eyes--all of the men in kilts playing bag pipes, the Irish dancing girls with their bouncing curls, all of the different sorts of Irish dogs, the beauty queens, the Star Wars re-enactment group(I know. Strange to me, too), and all of the other bizarre parade entries. I'm working on getting the videos and pictures uploaded, but my computer isn't recognizing my memory card.

Micah and I will be in Mississippi late Tuesday night! Can't wait to get there!

New toy

We introduced a new toy to Micah tonight. Check out his reaction.

Phoenix: Part 3/ Tank's 6 month check-up

---------------------------------


Over the weekend Micah went to the pediatrician for his 6 month check up. He is growing and progressing right along with the average 6 month old. He now weighs 17 lbs. and 7 oz. That only puts him in the 50th percentile. Yes, we all thought he was at least 20 lbs, but obviously Tank carries his chunkyness only in his cheeks. On the other hand, we were shocked by his length, or height. He's 27 1/4 inches long/tall. Tom's only 5'6", so we've never expected him to fall into the 75th percentile in length. I suppose he got his height gene from me. Micah's head circumference is 17 1/4in and he's in the 50th percentile.
