HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Little Man!

What a HAM!!

A Family Outing!

We visited Charlie's parents for the Easter weekend. Charlie's aunt and her husband were visiting from Tennessee, so we were able to spend some time with them as well. One of the main highlights of the weekend was when we all piled into our van and drove to Helton Creek Falls. For some reason we had all forgotten that it was quite a hike to the falls and were concerned about Charlie's mom being able to make the over 1/2 mile treacherous hike. But she did and has the picture to prove it. She is a trooper! She has cancer and I'm sure she is in a great deal of pain, but that does not keep her from doing the things that she enjoys. I would say that probably top on that list is spending time with her precious grandson.

See the pictures below...

A Must Read!

I am currently reading the book "Bringing Up Boys" by James Dobson. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with boys and especially for those that are raising their own son. Dobson gives practical advice for how to rear your son into godly manhood. It is helping me to understand how Micah is wired differently than a girl. I always thought that this was a book for dads to read, so I brought it for Charlie for his birthday. I have since discovered that it is a must read for moms so that they can better understand the make-up of their son and use those strageties to help raise them and guide them through adolescents. It touches subjects from ways to best educate a boy to how to prevent homosexuality. If God has given you the awesome priviledge of caring for and raising a son, I strongly encourage you to take the time to read this book.

More Onions Please!

Yesterday, we were eating at a local resturaunt when we discovered that Micah likes raw onions. That's right...he is his mama's boy. He loves raw onions, but won't touch any type of meat. I guess he has taken his eating habits after me. He eats lots of veggies, fruits and starches, but doesn't care much about meat. So, I guess raw onions might make Micah's breathe less attractive to his little girlfriends, but they're good for him....eat on Micah!

From Camping to Egg Hunts

We had a rather busy weekend. We met my parents in Rutledge at Hard Labor Creek State Park to camp. We knew that there would be a big storm coming through, but we were adventurous and went anyway. We were in the area just below Atlanta that missed the "bad" storm. We just received rain that lasted until around noon on Saturday. We were still able to do the outdoor things that we wanted like hiking and fishing. Micah had a great time playing outside. It was fun to sit back and watch him explore. His favorite thing to play with were the rocks...he's all boy!

We came home, unloaded and then headed to the church for Micah's first Easter Egg Hunt! I enjoyed watching all the toddlers hunt eggs. Micah would find an egg and then want to sit down and play with that one. He took his sweet little time with each egg, so by the time all the eggs were found, Micah had four in his basket. He even took time to find his buddy Tate and they decided to share their eggs with each other.

The pictures of our weekend are posted below.

Our New Play Group

A few of the stay-at-home moms at our church have started a mom/child play group. We meet every Thursday at someone's house. It is such a wonderful blessing for a stay-at-home mom to have such a group. The children get to play together and we talk about "mom" stuff and EAT! It is one of the new highlights of our week. Next week the group will meet at my house, so I guess I better finish childproofing!

The boys and their babies. I hope our daddies don't see this!
