Total Solar Eclipse

How cool that you got to experience a total solar eclipse. You, Carter, and Daddy came out to my work to experience it. We ended up with a great view. It was so cool! During the totality- we heard the cicadas and crickets come out, but no lightning bugs. Your brother was silly and acted like he was sleeping - when it was dark . :)

Some pics from Daddy's video he took on the phone -


The coolest picture I saw of all the phases combined- overlooking the Nashville skyline. I might have to buy the print!

Tomato Fest '17

Our favorite day of the year! You had a great tomato fest...and even got to lead the parade with Mayor Barry and your friend, Alice. Of course- half way through - you were with Alice's Dad crying because you couldn't find me. You quickly calmed down - and I reminded you where to always find Mommy - "by the band!" After that - you ran back to the front and we met at the dance party at the end of the parade - and enjoyed watching the East High band too. So much fun!

Later you did some art work, played at the Kid zone, stopped by a friend's party, and then grabbed hot dogs for lunch before heading home for baths and naps. You took a a giant bubble bath upstairs - and later it looked a murder scene because of your red hair paint. Gross. :)

Week 4: Ohio Trip with the Taylors
Sounds like ya'll had a great time playing, jumping, and going to King's Island. You got sick 1 night and even threw up a couple times, but insisted on coming out to the fire pit. Luckily you seemed fine the next and made it to King's Island. :)

Ya'll came back on Wednesday, finished up swim lesssons and had a couple chill days with Audrey. Ya'll saw Captain Underpants, went to the library, and the Frist.

Ms. Debbie said you are doing great and even recommended you consider joining a swim team. I said I would chat with you about it. She would like to work a little bit on stroke form and recommending either doing private lessons next year or an intermediate level group class.
