Neighborhood Walk

Yesterday we went for a quick walk around the block before the rain hit. We passed a patch of clover and when I looked down I immediately spotted not one, but two, 4 leaf clovers. I have never been able to find 4 leaf clovers, no matter how long I looked. My mother, on the other hand, had an innate ability to find them at just a glance. I felt like Mom was with me when I spotted that first 4 leaf clover, and then when I saw the second one I felt sure that Carsyn was with me too.

Happy Anniversary!

Dad was sweet to hang this flag up while we were gone. It looks just like us doesn't it?
April 1st was our 9th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe we have been married that long! It has been wonderful. We had a great day. Brad took off work and hung out with Camden & me. We had lunch at Rosie's & ran a few errands. Yes, we really did get married on April Fool's Day. This year we had a pratical joke played on us. Amy & Lea Ann sent us an email saying the health inspector had come by and we got a 79 (terrible!) and that there were several issue we needed to discuss. Well the health inspector really did come, but we scored a 99! What a relief. What a dirty little trick! After that we headed home where we had a champagne toast with my dad. He offered to babysit so we could go to dinner at my all time favorite restaurant, The Melting Pot. We have driven to the one in Nashville several times for our anniversary. Needless to say, I was thrilled that a new one just opened at Bridge Street. So we headed over there and took several self portraits. We had a really nice waiter, Robb, and the dinner was delicious! What a perfect anniversary!

Visit to Atlanta

Camden & I went to visit my college roommate, Kim, in Atlanta this weekend. These are her two adorable kids Lexi and Lily. Lexi just turned 4 today (happy birthday lexi!) and is the blond. Lily turned 2 in February and is the brunette. I think I got a pic of Al in the park too, taking a nap. They definitely kept Camden entertained. He thought they were silly and they loved to make him laugh!

Baby Swing

We went to a really nice park in Atlanta that had baby swings. At first I thought Camden might be too little to swing by himself, but then I just went ahead and tried it. He loved it! He had so much fun swinging all by himself! Now I will have to look for a park in Huntsville with a baby swing.

Watching all the kids playing in the park.
