Daddy's Little Helper

Chloe was a huge help this weekend while we worked on putting a patio in our back yard. He skills with her little pail and shovel were invaluable. She was also pretty handy with the stakes and string used to mark out the construction area. All she needs now is an itty bitty tool belt and hard hat.

1st Solid Food

Our "Little Man" is 6 months old now and tried solid food (rice cereal) for the 1st time tonight. Judging by his expressions...we think he liked it. Watch the video by clicking here.

Chloe Tries To Help

Chloe tried to help feed Alex on Saturday, but there was a little milk-related mishap. Even though Alex wasn't all that happy, it's good to see Chloe trying to help out like a big girl. To see the whole thing on video, Click Here.

Big Boy

Alex will be 5 months old in 4 days and is sporting his new big boy haircut. He can also play in the exersaucer now like a big boy. He really loves it!

Rainy Day Photos

We couldn't really play outside today, because of all the rain....so we dressed up and took a few photos in the library.

















"Little Man" doesn't just suck his thumb. Sometimes, he gets his entire fist in his mouth.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is here and Chloe is camped out in front of the old Christmas tree, waiting for a visit from Santa. (You can click on the photos to see a better, bigger version.)

Earlier in the evening she got a phone call from Santa, which Mom and Dad recorded so they can play it back later when she's older. She was so excited, and sang her ABCs to Santa.

Right before dinner, she and little brother Alex got to play together a bit. As you can see from the photo, Alex discovered there is a fine line between getting some attention and getting too much attention from his Big Sis. But Sis was careful and Alex ended up having a big time.

Well, we've all drifted off to sleep now in hopes that Santa will come any minute.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Thanksgiving 2006 Tour Continues

The 2nd stop on the Thanksgiving Tour was in Gepp, AR at Nana and Pa Pa Renfro's house, where Alex got to see his Grandpa for the first time.

Chloe and Alex also got to visit with their cousins.

Chloe gets all bundled up for an outing on Pa Pa's Rhino.
Due to a surprise visit from the stomach virus fairy, we slept in the RV Wednesday night to try and avoid getting sick, then started driving back home early Thursday morning. Chloe loves sleeping with one leg thrown over someone or something. I thought this was so funny. I just had to get a picture of it.

The photo above was taken on Thanksgiving Day, which we had to spend in the Hollywood Casino RV Park in Tunica, Mississippi. We hated that we had to miss having Thanksgiving Dinner with our family after traveling so far to see them, but it couldn't be helped. Eating Thanksgiving Dinner in an RV Park sounds pretty depressing, doesn't it?.....well....IT IS!! I'm just kidding (sort of). We really do have so much to be thankful for. Our good health, for example, which we all had when this photo was taken. We didn't get sick until later. Apparently, in spite of our best efforts to "Get the Heck out of Dodge" before contracting the stomach virus, we all (except Alex, thank The Good Lord) got sick anyway. Alex's first Thanksgiving certainly was a memorable one. Let's hope Christmas comes and goes without anyone spewing anything from anywhere.
