Great-Grandparents

Silas often gets to spend time with his great-grandparents that live here in town. On this day, we spend the afternoon with my mom's parents. Silas loves going over there because they laugh at everything he does, and he feels like he is a very funny boy. He is also having fun playing with the stuffed bear that my aunt made.

Children's Museum of Atlanta

In August, we visited the Children's Museum of Atlanta with Scott and Tracey. It was SOOOO coool!!! If anyone has the chance to go there, I couldn't believe how much fun it was. If it tells you anything, Silas stayed busy - doing all different things - for TWO hours! And with a toddler's attention span at that! Here are some of the things we did...

This was one of his favorites. It was a model of a produce/grocery truck that he LOVED to "drive".





















Elmo!!





















There were all kinds of neat mechanical things there - pulleys and levers. This thing is operated by turning a wheel and pulling on some ropes. With it, you can catch these balls that fall from a conveyer-belt type thing and drop them into a ball pit. Fun.



















Water toys and moon sand.























Painting :)

















Tracey and Scott had fun too!






















Yes!! You are right, we ARE on Sesame Street!!! As you can tell, Jason and I are probably more excited about it than our child was...but oh well!! We were on Sesame Street!!

Beach vacation

We enjoyed a nice, relaxing vacation in Destin, Florida this summer. We went with the Cheneys for our annual Chengay vacation. The drive down there was hellacious, but the condo was wonderful - Thanks D.R.! We did a whole lotta nothin'.

Actually, that's not true because Silas was busy as ever and he LOVED the water. Scared? Nooooo. He would make a run for it and try to get in the ocean by himself. He's Daddy's boy!

I love this picture...Jason and Silas are watching dolphins swim.




HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!!! We celebrated her 31st with a half-cake. :) hee hee. It was a "surprise", so that's why she looks..um...surprised.

Goodbye!!! This was one of Silas' favorite things to do - RUN!!
