Pirate's Cove

We played a highly competitive game of mini golf at Pirate's Cove on our last day there... Tucker was traumatized for the most part. We kept sending him in to hysterics everytime someone got a hole-in-one. There still is a chance, though, that he'll be the next Tiger.

Cape Cod Wedding Trip

My sister, Michele, got married to Rob Sept 15th on "The Cape" and we had an awesome trip! We had an amazing time complete with a wedding!, sightseeing, shopping (that somehow always accompanies sightseeing), time on the beach, a lobster/clam bake and a lot of time hanging out with family. Here are the pics... (unfortunately, in no particular order!)

Dancing with Auntie Terry!

We laughed all week that Tucker thought this party was all about him... here he is eating with the bride at the Rehearsal Dinner.
Lots of time hangin' at the "beets"

Wiped out on the plane ride home... the "aiwpwayne" was definitely the highlight of the trip for Tuck. He was beyond thrilled with getting to "wide up in the sky wid the cwouds." All week, in the middle of doing cool stuff, he'd ask "Are we going to the airport now?"
The Dunn's house that they so graciously shared with us all week.
One of MANY, MANY trips over the boardwalk to the beach.
You'll have to ask Kyle.

The tent came in handy when it rained on the day of the wedding :(

It's Official.....

In his first official (although it was really unofficial) parent-teacher conference, Miss Janelle has informed us that Tucker has "trouble listening". We arrived at this conclusion some time ago....But, there's always the "Well, he's only two" thing. What are his listening skills supposed to be at this age? Apparently, they are supposed to be greater than what he is currently exhibiting.

In reality he is probably middle of the road....he does not heed ALL of our spoken directives, but he does not ONLY do what he wants. I like middle of the road (MOTR)....that's different than "average", mind you. MOTR is Ok for some things, and this is one of those.

1st Day of School

Academia

Tucker began his first week of preschool last week. It has been some of his cutest moments yet. We started talking it up Monday night and he quickly picked up that he was going to start "kool" (school). He was so excited that night he couldn't sleep. We could hear him in his bed talking about "kool" and "paying" and who knows what else. He stayed up late and didn't sleep well from all the excitement. In the morning we headed to the Waffle House. Kyle says this is our new tradition (every tradition of Kyle's finds it's way to the Waffle House.) We ate "catcakes" and got even more pumped. Then over the school for the first day of school picture by the Southside Methodist sign... we don't have it yet because it is still on the camera. No digital anymore! As he walked in to the building he was walking 2 feet in front of me, but leaning backward from the weight of his one pound lunch! :) He felt so cool, though, because all the other kids had backpacks on. When we got to the room, Miss Janelle cracked the door open and Tucker nearly ran in and did not look back. As usual, I was left at the door feeling like he doesn't care whether or not I exist -- better than the drama and crying, I guess! When I picked him up he had all sorts of adventures to tell me about. The "payground." The "choo-choos", etc. He was beaming. We can't believe how more he is talking in a week. And he sings all around the house. Cute. Pictures to follow!
