Short Pensacola Trip

Steve and I took Chloe down to Pensacola for a visit. Steve had to work down there and the boys didn't get to go because it was during the week. The trip got cut short because of the impending storm. Aside from all of those things the trip was great. We stayed at Aunt Ro's house and got to eat yummy food and play with little boys all over the place! I had the best time watching Chloe play with her cousins, Zachary, Nick, and Jacob. Zachary is a very smart little boy who knows a lot about the world at his ripe old age of 4, what with him being in school and all now. He has a lot to say about things once he warms up to you. Nick enjoys the company of his NaaNee (that's the best way I know to spell it so it doesn't sound like "nanny") and wasn't sure what to think about me talking to him. He most especially didn't know what to think about NaaNee having a little girl sit in her lap on his time. He seemed to be easily convinced to eat something if he was told it had chips and cheese in it. Jacob was just a doll! He snuggled me like he has known me his entire 7 months. I loved getting drooled on and having my hair pulled. He has a tooth that just popped out and there seemed to be a few more that are going to be following quickly. I really want to kick myself because I didn't get a single picture of the kids playing together. I'll get some when I go back. Chloe loved Aunt Ro (especially when Nick got there). Chloe also fell in love with Uncle Tommy. She climbed up in his lap every time he sat down. Staying at Aunt Ro and Uncle Tommy's was like being at a home away from home. It's always nice to know you have wonderful family who will welcome you with open arms. Steve and Uncle Tommy talked woodshop, of course. They have a lot in common, it seems. Our visit with Granny and Aunt Donna was short, unfortunately. I was glad that I remembered to get the camera out then. Chloe loved running around Granny's house playing and saying "eat" every 2 minutes. It was fun to watch Granny beam like sunshine while she watched Chloe play. There was a first that happened while we were there. Chloe told Granny, "Bye bye. I love you." She had never before said "I love you" to someone before. I'm glad I got to see Aunt Donna and the girls but it didn't last long enough. We didn't get to see Uncle Michael at all and that was very upsetting. But, like I said, I'm going back soon. There were also lots of others that I didn't get to see. I saw Ricky very briefly but had to run. There is never enough time. Anyway, here's a slideshow of some pics:

Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts

I took Chloe to the museum this morning and she behaved so well. Here are some pictures:

Kids at the park

These pictures are about a month old but I love them.

The Corn Goblin

Chloe loves to eat corn on the cob. See for yourself:

Janae: Gormet Chef in the Making

 

Janae has been here with us for a few weeks! I've really enjoyed the time we've had while she's been here. For her momma and step-dad's anniversary Janae made them dinner! She made homemade lasagna and it was delicious! I took a picture of Janae with her masterpiece so everyone could see what a wonderful job she did! If only everyone could have tasted it!

I found these pictures of Chloe and couldn't resist putting them on here. I think these were taken in November.
