So close!

Caleb is so close to truly crawling on his hands and knees. The moment his arms are strong enough, he will be off. Seeing as he already army crawls over to the drawers for toys indicates that things may get crazy soon!

You might be a redneck if your children's favorite activities include:

Playing in a bucket

Riding in the trailer while Daddy cuts grass

Playing in a sandbox that is two old tires filled with sand!

Tallulah Gorge, Pitts Park, and Grandmama

We have enjoyed visits from Grandmama recently. She is great about encouraging us to get out, see new things and enjoy fun activities. We went to story time at the Library one morning to learn all about fire safety and explore fire trucks at the nearby fire station. Jason chose his first chapter book (Snow White) from the library so with each visit they gradually made it to the happy ending. We even made homemade tortillas for our fajitas one evening. This past weekend we visited Tallulah Gorge and had fun walking the trails to find each new overlook. Colleen and Grandmama looked for white arrows that marked our path and Colleen carried baby doll the whole way. We had a great time.

We also spent an afternoon at Pitts Park right next to Samuel's work. He met us for lunch and some fun skipping rocks in the river.

There it goes
