Meeting Miller!

We had the opportunity to spend one of our sweetest times ever with our college FAMILY a couple weeks ago in Memphis. The highlight was meeting the gorgeous baby above, Miller Thompson!
Another highlight was watching our children play together. Olivia and Tucker above playing "choo-choos" and below, Livvy & Miller.
The low point of the trip was sweet Olivia's major toe injury. It was terrible and took a long time to stop bleeding - it helped once we got her lovey and elevated her foot above her heart!

Catching up...








We spent Tucker's 2nd Birthday in Hilton Head with my parents and the Korbeckis. Due to an unfortunate kayak incident, our digital camera has died and we are back to our awesome 35mm. It takes much better pictures, but it is harder to blog. Trade off.

First, the birthday.
He loved his trains from Nan and Pop and his basketball hoop from us.

He got an "Elmo at the Beach" cake. Kyle decided it needed 40 candles. Tuck loved the cake - but needed a lot of help blowing out all the candles - and he especially enjoyed helping himself to the icing. It reminded me of Girbs eating icing off the top of baked goods back in college b/c she was allergic to the cake part. He had that same technique of running his finger down the side on the top! :)

And now presenting the most adorable creature at the beach!

Ready for School

Thanks to Aunt Betsy (& Uncle Casey, I'm sure!) I have now taken the cutest picture of Tucker Ryan E-V-E-R. They sent this precious gift for his birthday. I can barely stand it. He put the backpack on and started strutting around like the Big Man on Campus that he is going to be. Southside Methodist Preschool - here he comes!

What do you want to do today? "Kick Kick!"

Tucker's favorite activity of the summer has been swimming ("Kick Kick") lessons. He goes twice a week with Miss Cara and he is almost as obsessed with it as he is with Mimi's car. He squeals when we pull in to the neighborhood and throws his arms up and yells "Yah!" when we get to the pool. So cute...Where's Cara?

Waiting as patiently as possible...

Technique




He mostly just swims to the side and climbs out, but he loves it!
That's a lot of swimming pictures, but I had to document the thing most talked about this summer.
