travelbug II

a sleepover the night before the arrival of my new cousin....

jaden is here! look at this cute little family.... everybody was crazy excited but grandpa buddy kept his eye on me... even though i mostly did this.......hey, it's what i do. don't judge me.

then, it was time for my first trip to my parents' homeland.. the world-renowned bainbridge, georgia. where i have been dubbed the sheikh of manateeby my bubbie who was pretty excited (ecstatic) to see me..

check out my new kicks... ..i think they give me street cred

fun with bubbie...


bainbridge-style milk coma: a little bit of fat, a whole lot of sassy


a force soon to be reckoned with:

we stopped back by to see jaden on the way home. look how peaceful we look. .. remember this picture when we are causing chaos together later.

travelbug.

hey, i've been kind of busy lately...

...meeting AUNT berry from d.c

cementing my hold on my grandparents...

sharing secrets with my cousin...

that's hard work...

meeting my great-grandmother in columbus.....
i think she is fabulous...
in fact, i'm pretty sure she is the greatest.....

i also went to a baby shower (don't have any pics) where i worked the crowd... this all makes me very sleepy......so sleepy that i slept through the night for the first time last night - that is a momentous occasion in case you didn't realize it...



coming soon:
*a brand new cousin!
*first trip to bainbridge for some bubbie and zadie time
*working my magic on erin kile
* vaccination vacation ( i don't think this will be very fun)

theme.... trying out new toys!

Well we got the ol Black Colonel Nuggett family-o-rized with a really primo cover. I thought it was a great place for Ms. Paisley to ride on trips....... doesn't she look safe and secure?

just look, not a worry on her face. she even asked to try it out with the tail gate down for a nice breeze on I75.

nope! momma not having it! got her out in under 3 seconds. probably the last time for that. until we teach her to haul a trailer.

I saw this on the bed after a diaper change. I thought it was cute.

I had a great time with all the gang. It was a great surprise to have big d and tonja and ms. jansen there for supper! I had a great fun time playing with jansen building robots, dancing and being godzirah. this is what she wanted to take a picture of . she wanted wee.....I mean Paisley to be safe and not be scared of the dark at her first sleep over. super cute.


Well we think that we just might have fixed our skype problem. Mrs. w......I mean Grandma BB had been trying hard to link up the web camera so she and Buddy could see the famous 8lbs baby of sugar, ms. Paisley. the first couple of time they could see us and hear us but we could only see them or hear them. now it is golden! if anyone has ideas on how to improve the video quality, please let us know.!!!! who knew the camera had a mic built into it? I was looking on that box that makes sounds and blinks lights when it thinks. go figure! GreatJob!
