More visits

Last week Granny and Grandad got here to see us (well to see Ty). When they got here Tyler was so cute showing them all his toys in his play room. Tyler loves to be outside these days so we spent time at the park and out back playing with our toys and blowing bubbles. On my birthday we all went to the japanese resturant where they cook in front of you. Tyler was too busy watching all the cooks and wasn't too interested in eating. Actually these days he is way too busy playing to want to sit still and eat anything. We have been challenged with trying to get him to eat. Then early Friday morning we left for Atlanta to spend the weekend. On Saturday we celebrated Chad's birthday and had a cook out with all our friends, Tyler wore himself out playing with all his buddies. We had the best time. It was good to be home.

Fun in the sun

We flew out on Monday the 7th, to spend the whole week with my family. As always Tyler, being the social butterfly he is, made many friends on the plane. Not many people can resist his smile. As soon as my mom picked us up at the airport we were off to meet my nephew for lunch. He has a great job with many perks so he treated us to lunch at a place right across from where he works. We got a phone call from papa almost immediately saying he was making a trip home in between classes and had to be sure his grandson was there so we made a point to eat quickly. Nana and papa were all prepared for Ty with lots of toys, the sand was ready in the sandbox and toys for the pool. Nana had stocked up with all of Tyler's favorite foods and made tons of things for him to have. He is just a little spoiled. I think after this week he is offically a beach baby. He loves the water, loved playing in the sand. He would cry when it was time to come in for a while to take naps. Every evening Tyler would take a walk with Papa in the neighborhood. I would tell Papa that he could walk and not to carry him since he is so heavy, but I would look out and see Tyler holding up his arms and you could just see Papa's heart melt and up he would go. My sister Angel, Tyler's cousins Megan and Brayden all went with us to the beach on Wednesday morning. We had the best time. Tyler was so into playing in the sand at one point he began flipping it in the air and all over us. On Thursday we had a busy day, Tyler and I went with Papa to campus so he could show off his grandson. Then Brayden came over to spend the day with us. Tyler will be so happy when he can really play with him. That evening the whole family came over for some dinner and to hang out. On our last day Tyler just had to have some outside time so Nana took him outside and got some great pictures of him playing in the grass. It was such a good week. We hated to leave Daddy home, hopefully next time he will come with us. Tyler is getting more verbal and has added bath, ball, doggy, Nana, Papa(papew) to his vocabulary. He is learning new things every day, it's hard to believe how big our little boy is getting.

Settled in

We are finally feeling settled here. We have begun to get know people at worship, and catching up with old friends from college. Tyler has been making new friends, and has now begun attending bible class. We met some friends for story time at the local library this morning. We grabbed some lunch afterwards and came back to our house to let the kids play. Tyler loves playtime with other kids so he had a blast. Tyler is beginning to say more and more words. His new word is bath, his most favorite thing. His other word lately is banana, his other favorite thing. He is getting to be such a big boy. We fly out to see my family on Monday and will stay all week. The following week Granny and Grandad come to visit. That is just the beginning to our planned trips and visitors. It will be a busy summer.
