Bay-ball Game with E-tan and Col

From left to right Eamon, "Col" and "E-tan"

Eamon is the on the left at the top of the "mountain".

Eamon and I took a trip to Atlanta in late April. We went to a Gwinnett Braves baseball game (Eamon pronounces it bay-ball gam) with my nephews Ethan and Cole. Before I even pulled into the parking lot Eamon saw the inflatable moonwalks and slides. We sat in the outfield (it would be more accurate to say our stuff sat in the outfield) right next to the slides and moonwalks.

If you have ever brought a 2 year old to a baseball game you know that it can be difficult to watch the game while attending to their needs. The added distraction of the inflatable fun made for a night of watching inflatable fun. Ethan and Cole did a great job watching out for Eamon until he got used to walking around and playing on the inflatable playgrounds. Once Eamon got the hang of it he went from apprehensive to tackling five and six year olds.

Although we really didn’t watch any baseball we had a great time. Eamon and I have been to two Baron’s games and to the SEC baseball tournament since our trip to Atlanta. Each time we have been to a game since Eamon has asked me “where E-tan and Col?”

Introducing #2

That's right.  If you haven't heard, I'm pregnant!  Eamon will be a big brother around Thanksgiving.  I will be 13 weeks tomorrow.  We had an ultrasound yesterday and everything looked good, they couldn't tell the sex though, so we'll have to wait until July to find that out.  During the ultrasound, the baby was doing flips.  Ed and I thought it was so funny.  One second the baby was on its back and the next it had rolled over to its tummy.  I've been feeling pretty nauseous lately and have actually lost about 16 lbs.  I'm hoping that the worst is over!  We are very excited about this new addition to our family!  My due date?  Thanksgiving Day!

Congratulations, Ely!

My brother, Ely, graduated on Saturday from UAB with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting.

Ely and a very proud Mama!

Jenni, Ely, Eamon, me.

Ely has been accepted at University of Alabama at Huntsville (UAH) for Graduate School and he will study Information Systems Auditing.  He left yesterday to hike the Appalachian Trail for the summer.

Eamon at the Barons Game

Daddy picked Eamon up from school early today to go to the 11:05 Barons game.

Just squint a little

I was playing with the camera and caught some really cute faces.  Too bad they are blurry.  So just squint a little, OK?

February Pictures - Fun with Cousins

Valentine's Day Weekend Aunt Tracey, Uncle Lee, Grandma and Baby Kathleen came in town. 

Uncle Lee was running in the Mercedes Marathon.

Eamon seemed to enjoy Kathleen, although when I laid her on the blanket and started taking pictures of her, he wanted to lay down next to her and be in the pictures.

The next weekend, I think, Aunt Christine, Grandma, Ethan and Cole came in town.  The boys had a great time playing at the park.

Pictures from January

I've been a bad blogger.  Here are some pictures I just got off the camera from January.
