:(

During our time here in Gulfport, I've been able to meet some great girls in the area - other moms with kids the same age as mine. I'm really sad this week because one of those girls (Arianna) left last weekend and I'm preparing to lose another (Sarah) in two weeks time. It's hard to feel constantly in a state of transition - moving or having the people around you move. Eben is sad to lose his friends Julian and Gabe too. As a big send-off we did have everyone over - we've really gotten to all be friends, our husbands, our kids, etc., and had some yummy burgers, some wine and, in the end, some tears! :(

Eben, a budding photographer

Eben nabbed the camera today during lunch and took these quick shots, mostly of Tate. Not sure about his talent but he at least knows to get lots of shots!

In other news, Eben is not-so-patiently awaiting his birthday. Every day he asks, "How many more days?". His list of things he wants is ever-growing and ever-changing. His most wanted item is this bike that we look at on-line every day!

Fast asleep

Tate is following in Eben's footsteps with his love of trains. Here he is sleeping with one!

Good Form!

Scott's quite proud of Eben who, in this shot, displays great form! This was taken at the Easter FunFest at my parent's church, University Presbyterian Church, in Orlando, FL. Go to their site to see a pic of my whole family, celebrating the recent installation of my dad as their head pastor!

Scott in the news

While at the dedication of the new St. Peter's by the Sea ceremony, Scott showed up on the evening news for a few seconds the other night ...

Tate's a-talkin' and Eben's still pickin'

Here's a video showing of some of Tate's words - or sounds, really! He's daily adding more sounds/words - some of his latest are "bubba" (Eben/brother), "car", "juice" - of course, all said in his own language. In the video I try to get him to showoff some of his words but without much luck. As you can tell, he understands more than he actually says. The best parts come from Eben and whatever he was trying to get out of his nose!

I love Rock n' Roll!

Lately Eben is really into rock n' roll. In the car he asks for rock songs (has to be a boy singer too) and then wants it turned up "all the way". So, often you'd find us rockin' out to some PearlJam or Nirvana on the way to and from Tyler's school.
