Goodbye, Canon EX Slim

We had a wonderful family day to celebrate Easter! Nana, Pops, and Aunt Kendal drove up from Winnfield to join us and Resa at Trinity for worship. Then, we all headed out to Squire Creek for a great lunch. We were really concerned about how Preston would behave but he did REALLY well. The guys had been planning on playing golf, but since it was such a nasty day we all stayed in to watch the Masters. The only bad thing that happened today was that I dropped my camera and shattered the lens. The picture of me and Preston was taken PRE-drop, and the family pic was taken POST!! Sorry guys that we did not get a better shot! Oh well, the Canon EX Slim has been great--I sure will miss it :)

Easter Basket Fun

Just a quick post to document how much fun Preston had with his Easter basket from his MDO teachers Ms. Edna and Ms. Rahel. He LOVES to watch the eggs roll away and this may be my way to get him crawling yet.....More later :)

Tuesday in Augusta

Jeff and I had a most wonderful time yesterday at the MASTERS! We took a little trip over to Augusta with our good friends, Katie and Cullen Clark. We spent some time in Atlanta before heading over to the course, and got back this afternoon. We were just a bit disappointed me missed seeing Tiger, as it was the coldest Masters day on record according to the Atlanta newspaper, because he just went to the practice tee for a short bit and we were on 16 most of the day. However, we did get to see the shot of a LIFETIME by Vijay Singh!! He was just clowning around and skipped the ball over the water on the 16th hole to score a hole-in-one!! And, of course, I had to post a pic of my fave Phil Mickelson who I did get to see a BUNCH. He is thinner in person, by the way--the TV must really add 10 lbs!! I am going to pick up my baby man in the morning and just about can't wait. He has had a rough go of his little viral infection but Nana has taken such good care of him. We are looking forward to Easter weekend with family and hope you all have a good one as well :)

Who you callin' sick??

Well, today has been a whirlwind day as Preston has had his first "sickness." Pictured at right is the crazy mess he made with the paper in the office-again, I apologize for the quality, but you get the idea. He has been in a grand mood, though, and thankfully it is NOTHING serious! His RSV test came back negative, and his chest X-ray and ears were clear. We just have to do albuterol breathing treatments four times daily. We are just praying that Preston stays well during our trip, as we would hate to saddle Nana and Pop with that burden. However, as far as Preston is concerned--bring on the TOYS!

Kickin' Wheels!

First of all, I apologize for the quality of this picture as Jeff took it from his Blackberry! But, I could not RESIST posting this shot of Preston in his new "car!" He LOVED going for a ride, and instintively was holding onto the steering wheel. Jeff and I can not wait for some warmer days to really get him out in it this week-hope you have a great one!

My New Trick

Preston has a new trick! Nana has seen him do it, but I guess no one else has. He can stand and hold on to the side of his crib. Of course, I PUT him there and position his hands, but he can stand there for a good while. He is still not crawling yet, nor does he express much interest in crawling, but most of you with kids tell me be careful what you wish for.......more later!

Shamrock 5K Run

I am so grateful to Nancy for getting our "group" together this morning to run the KD Shamrock 5K out at Lincoln Parish Park. Pictured are Katie Clark, Robyn Brown, me, Ashley Allen, Valerie Costanza and Nancy Hunt. Ashley's and Nancy's husbands, Grayson and Trotter were also running on our "team!" And, of course, Jeff, Cullen, Cary, and ALL the kiddos were in tow. I will not tell you my finish time, as I was REALLY hoping to do much better, but (caution, here comes an excuse!) the course was EXTREMELY hilly and I am used mostly flat so that definitely was a factor. On a positive note, Preston LOVED hanging out in his stroller at the park and it was a great family outing for us all!
