TN Trip!

Our trip to TN was a blast.  We went to the zoo (or as Ed calls it "the zoom"), Cheekwood Train display, played in Cici and Granddaddy's pool, rode the tractor, went on a walk with Annie and Pawpaw at Edwin Warner Park, and just had bunches of fun playing outside and enjoying the yard space. We took tons of pictures, so I tried to limit my posting of them.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Edmond!

Ed had an awesome birthday. We were able to go to TN to celebrate with family and that was very special. We were there for an entire week, so we got to spend a lot of quality time with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. He opened the grandparents' presents beforehand, so he wouldn't be so overwhelmed at his party. That meant 2 days of opening presents and cake! He loved every second of it. As parents it is so gratifying to watch your child be so happy.  He has grown up so much in the past year. Here are pictures from Ed's birthday (and one from last year to show his growth). I'll do another post later with pictures from the rest of our trip to TN.

Ed and Nora are like brother and sister since they see each other pretty much every day. So, of course they are...together... in this video dancing and laughing. My friend was watching Ed for me when she shot this video. The baby in the high chair is Aidan, her youngest, 8 months, who just started to crawl today! Needless to say, when you watch these three, you have your hands full! Enjoy!
