Rub A Dub Dub...Tudor In Da Tub

Both of them taking a bath together...pretty funny! She was loving it.

First Time

Solon wrote his own thank-you card!  One of Jay's co-workers brought Solon a stuffed elephant from the circus, so I laid out the words for Muffin to copy.  And he did a pretty good job.  "Thank You Mr. Alvin"

Just The Two of Us

Jay and Tudor-Beach went on a mini-trip this weekend, so Solon and I had almost three whole days to do whatever we liked!  I had so much fun.  It has been so long since I have just hung out with him.  On Friday, he and I painted the bathroom wall that was recently opened up due to a leak.  After all our hard work, Solon convinced me that we needed to make a trip to Dairy Queen.  So, he and I perused the DQ website for about 30 minutes to make sure we made the best choice.  He got a mint Oreo cookie blizzard, and I got a chocolate truffle blizzard.  We came home and watched Ice Age and inhaled our ice cream.  Too full for supper, we headed upstairs at 7 and piled into bed.  I woke up to him standing over me..telling me I was about to get a belly buster.  Jay teaches him all this stuff, and I can't seem to impress upon him that girls don't think wrestling, karate chops and such are fun.  Anyway,  Saturday we hit the Y for a couple of hours, and then a grocery store trip.  We invited Nana/Ann over for supper.  And then early bed time! This morning we made a big batch of pancakes and then hit Coyote Park.  I can't quite cover all the subjects we covered this weekend...dinosaurs, underwater creatures, kung fu...Amazing weekend.

Blame It On The Rain

Solon's first tennis lesson was set for this past Tuesday, and he was super pumped.  However, huge storm clouds were on the horizon, so I wanted to not even make the trek up to Buckhead knowing we would have to turn right back around.  Solon was just too excited though for me to bust his bubble..so off we went. And it was canceled.  Instead we hit the basketball courts for about an hour, and he showed me how to exercise.  I guess he has watched Jay do this at home? Abs and push ups.

Fun In The Midst

I know I sound like a broken record, but babies are hard business.  My weeks are spent just trying to keep us all on schedule and clean.  And by the end of the day I am seriously considering putting Tudor Tot in the garbage.  But then I see her sweet smile when I fetch her out of her crib after her 2 minute 'nap,' and I reconsider.  Muffin is my little beacon of hope every single day.  He is sweet and funny  and reminds me that one day our lives will be more sleep-filled and low key!

Girl's Weekend

I am not sure why Jay let me go because being stuck at home with both kids for a few days by yourself is insanity and tortuous:)  But he did! So I took off Friday and met up with Janie, Sally, Jennifer and Emily in Tuscaloosa.  We rented a cute house close to downtown, and spent the first night going to get our racing packets and driving the course.  Our biggest fear was the weather.  The weathermen were saying temps in the high 20s and possible snow flurries.  UGH!  But we did the run and spent the rest of our weekend having real fun.  A couple of fabulous dinners.  Pasta Ponza, salad and garlic bread the first night.  And a big steak dinner at the Cypress Inn on Saturday night.  And lots of junk food, mimosas and beer in between.  And we all left town with a new crew member.  Baby.  (Our baby kangaroo).  I hope Gina doesn't miss her.
