A weekend in Dothan

We went down to down for Conference weekend. It was tons of fun--very challenging to get the kids to sit through one talk, but very fun. Nana and Papa's is always a blast. The kids have so much fun there. They are always so sad to leave. The whole way home Emma Jane was crying, saying, "Nana and Papa's home." She even tried to coax us into going back there so she could go potty. Saying, "Potty, Nana and Papa's potty." She sure does love it there.


Carl holding the little Turtle he found in the pool. We named him "Dude." We took him back to Birmingham. He lasted until Tuesday. Emma Jane was so sad to let him go, but it was a must. Trust me. He has a better home at the pet shop than our home. Little "Dude" would have been constantly poked and prodded. It was for the best...or at least it was for the best for me.

Emma Jane lovin' on CJ. She is always doing stuff like this. Now, CJ can hold his own a little more. He can wrestle back.

Cute litte CJ who will be 1 years old tomorrow!

CJ got to open all of his birthday presents while he was at Nana and Papas. This is his new chair.

Emma Jane is always in heaven while she is at Nana and Papa's. She has the greatest time. It makes it always so sad to leave.
