3 Nights and 2 Days...A new SUV


Remember my post about my daddy coming in for one night then going home on Wednesday after his meeting? Well some how, I'm still trying to figure it out, my dad finally talked me into letting Callie go to Pikeville with him. That's right, for the first time in her two years of life, I spent nights away from her. She had never stayed anywhere over night without me. I mean, honestly, the longest me and her had EVER been apart is the 8hrs right after she was born. So to say the least this was a challenge for mommy here. Yes, I still had Anderson to keep me busy but it just wasn't the same. I missed her SOOOOO much! But Ray and I did stay busy the whole time.
On Thursday, we went to look at a few SUV's we were interested in buying. Boy was that an adventure. We went to this one person's house who had an Explorer-Eddy Bauer edition and this thing was the dirtiest vehicle I had ever seen!! I didn't want to even stick my head in the door to look at anything because I was afraid of breathing in that nasty crap. Word to those out there trying to sell your car, CLEAN IT BEFORE SOMEONE COMES TO LOOK AT IT! So, you can imagine, we said NO to that one. Then we went to look at a Land Rover, which I LOVED. The only reason we said no it it was because we were trying to find a bigger SUV than what we had and the Rover was the same size just more head room. So after two disappointments, we came home to do some more researching. So on Friday we drove to Louisville where we bought our new Dodge Durango.
My Dodge Nitro that was just too small for us. Loved the car just not the size.


My double stroller took up the ENTIRE trunk!

Slide Time With Poppy


My Dad came to stay the night with us on Tuesday because he had a meeting in Lexington Wednesday. SO, after we ate dinner Poppy wanted to take Callie to the park. So I got my giant double stroller out of the utility room and loaded up the kids. The park is just right down the street which is a good thing because that means I got to do a little exercise. Callie had a blast going down the slides and letting her Poppy catch her at the bottom.




Sleepy Beauty to Sleeping Beauty

After I posted my 'Sleepy Beauty' post the other day, I noticed that it had gotten really quit. So Anderson and I snuck up stairs where we found this....











SO, even though I said NO to a nap, she slept for an hour or so before her Poppy got here.

Momma's Boy


I figured since I had already done a few posting about Callie, I would do one on my little 'Momma's Boy'. I took some pictures of him yesterday and today of him standing up and holding on to things. Also while he is walking from place to place, as long as he has something to hold on too. Enjoy the pics!
