Sully's adventures in Pennsylvania!

Hello! Sully and I were on an eight day adventure in Pennsylvania. We began our trip with a visit to Kelli's weekend getaway house up in the Pocono Mtns! It is a beautiful house and we had a fabulous time with our favorite New Yorker! Late in the weekend, Kelli drove me and Sully to State College for a SURPRISE visit to see Mnee and PupPup! PupPup knew all about our visit, but it was a big surprise to Mnee---needless to say, when Sully and I walked into the restaurant, she was totally surprised! Sully and I spent the rest of the week with them and then they drove us back to the Poconos to see Kelli again and so Kelli could take us back to the airport on Sunday afternoon! Whew! We were worn out when we got home, but had a great time!

This week, Sully and I have been getting back into our routine. Sully enjoyed being back in his music class on Mondays. We have been to the park a few times---they have turned on the water in the little streams and mini waterfalls, so Sully is having a blast!!! We bring an extra pair of clothes so Sully can splash around and get as wet and dirty as he wants! We are also going back to the Children's Museum this Friday with our playgroup, so we are definately back into the swing of things down here in Atlanta!

Here are some pictures of Sully on his wild adventures with Kelli and his great grandparents! No visit to State College is complete without a visit to see the Penn State Nittany Lion! Of course, Sully was ROARING the whole time we were there! Sully was SO excited to see the lion when we first arrived!

PupPup took Sully to the local airport to see airplanes and firetrucks! Sully thought that was super fun! Sully has become obsessed with trucks, so I think he liked the trucks more than the airplanes!

When Sully arrived at the airport, he was given a set of wings---he proudly wore them on his shirt!
Sully was so excited to be up close to such a big truck! There goes Sully into the truck!

There was a georgeous park close by that we visited on one of the pretty days--Sully had a great time running around and exploring!

What a great view behind Sully!

Sully saw a dog and was very excited---as if you couldn't tell! :)

Sully's visit with Kelli in the Poconos!

We had a great time with Kelli in the Poconos. Sully's favorite activity from the weekend was throwing rocks into the lake. We made sure we walked to the lake so he could throw rocks all three days! He LOVED it so much and would cry so hard when it was time to leave! Here are some cute pictures.

Sully and Kelli!

Ciena and Sully were best buds!
Sully had such a fun time outside by the lake!

Sully loved the Moose that Kelli and Doug have outside their house--Sully even bent down a few times and kissed it! So sweet!

Hope you enjoy the pictures! We will update again soon! Have a great week!

Sullivan's latest adventures!

Hello everyone! What a weird Spring we are having! The weather has been SO cold! Sully and I are ready for the warm weather and sunshine to return so we can play outside! Sully is really starting to talk! He is picking up new words everyday and he sounds so sweet when he says them. Tonight, he said, "Night, Night" to us when he went to bed. It was so cute! His brain is just like a little sponge--he remembers so much and mimicks everything we do. We are really having a blast with Sullivan at this age.

Every night before dinner, we make Sully say his prayers with us. Here is a sweet picture of Sullivan praying.

This weekend, Sullivan spent the night with Grancie and Gramps. Brett and I had a fun night out with friends, so Grancie and Gramps took over "Sully duty." There are some really cute pictures from their visit.

Going for a walk!

Sully saw an airplane!

Bath Time!

So fun!

Sullivan LOVES Patches and Patches LOVES Sully because he gives him treats at dinner!

Best Buds!

Granice, say, "Cheese!"

Sullivan's visit in Kentucky!

Over the Easter weekend, we went to Kentucky to spend the holiday with Kathy, Carl, and Helen Louise. We had a great time! Sully went to visit a farm and got to meet all kinds of fun animals. He even picked an egg from a real nest! What a lucky boy! Enjoy the pictures!

Tractor time with Grandpa Palmer! Sully looks so little on that big tractor!

Sully sat on a real pony!
Sully saw chickens, ducks, and pigs!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! Last week, Sullivan went to visit the Easter Bunny. He wasn't quite as scared as when he met Santa in December, but was still a little uneasy. He cried when he first sat down, but then was able to calm himself down and even cracked a little smile. He ended up being very brave!

This morning we had a little egg hunt with some of Sullivan's friends at the park. Grancie and I hid the eggs while the kids played, and then we brought the kids over to find the eggs. It was SO cute! Malley and Brayden did very well putting the eggs in their basket. Sully started out doing very well, and then gave up and started collecting his eggs under a tree!
Hey guys, look how many eggs I found!

Malley and Sully were searching hard for those eggs! Hey guys...I found one!

Sully was so sweet!

Oh, here is another egg!

Sully and Grancie!

Mommy and Sully!

A few nights ago, Sully had a fun time with his yogurt. He usually gobbles it right up, but this particular evening, he decided it was fun to make a mess. The pictures are so cute. Enjoy! Messy eater!

Enjoy the pictures--Brett and I are going to the Braves home opener tonight with some friends while Grancie and Gramps hang out with Sully, and then we leave tomorrow morning for KY to have Easter with the Palmers! Fun times ahead! Hope you enjoy your Easter weekend!

Sully's adventures at the Atlanta Children's Museum!

Happy April everyone! I cannot believe how fast time is flying! The weather here has been more like summer over the past few weeks with highs in the 80's and hardly any rain! Finally, this week is back to more normal temps and we have had some rain to wash away all that yellow pollen that has stuck to everything! Our shoes turn yellow when we go outside to play! Sully and I spend most of our days outside with the dogs, walking around the neighborhood, or at the park. Sullivan LOVES to be outside running around and exploring! Sullivan is starting to really explode with his language skills. He is learning how to say new words everyday and, of course, is still learning new signs all the time. We got him some new sign language videos for Easter and he LOVES learning all the zoo and farm animals!

Well, this week was Spring Break in Atlanta, so all of Sully's activities were cancelled for the week. Without our music and swim classes, we had to find some other fun adventures to go on this week. So, on Monday, Sully and I made a trip downtown to the Atlanta Children's Museum. It was SO much fun and Sully and I can't wait to go back. There was so much to do, we didn't have time to do it all!

Here are some fun pictures from our adventures at the museum...

The first stop we made was in the water room. Malley and Sully put on cute, little rain coats on and had a blast slpashing around in the water.

Next stop...a huge sandbox! This sandbox was particularly neat because it wasn't really sand. It was a mixture of sand and a really soft clay-like material. You could ball it up in your hands--it was kind of like a grainy playdough---anyways, the kids thought it was SUPER fun!

What a sweet picture! They were playing so well together!

Sully was showing me something very important. He scooped that sand into that scooper.

Next stop...the painting station! This a was a very fun station---the kids wore cute smocks and painted on the wall. The wall was pretty cool because you could just wash it right off. Sully painted a masterpiece!

What an artist---he worked VERY hard to create that masterpiece! :)

I was impressed with how well Sully could bend down and get more paint all by himself. I didn't have to help him at all.

He is working very hard!

Sully found a fun tractor that he enjoyed sitting on...

Hey guys, I am driving a tractor!

After we left the museum, we all had lunch outside at Centennial Olympic Park. Sullivan LOVED the fountains and laughed a few times when kids went running in and out of them. This summer, we will have to bring Sully back to play in the fountain!

A few days ago, Sully went to Jack's house to play. Here is a sweet picture of the two boys. They are great buddies and play very well together. Sullivan is so social--he loves playing with his friends!

Have a great Easter weekend!
