Opa!!

We went to GreekFest Friday night & Charlotte wouldn't leave the dance floor. Baby girl played so hard she was asleep within 2 minutes of getting back in her stroller for the ride home! I would say that her KinderMusik classes are really rubbing off on her. She loves, loves, loves music! Every night she points to the stereo & asks for music so we usually have a night time jam before bed (complete with instruments). 

Peek a boo!

I got some great pictures of Charlotte and Matthew playing the other day. She has begun putting her blanket over her head & running around the house screaming; the girl really cracks herself up! I really love watching her play with her Daddy.

Catch Up

I have not posted in a while due to a tempermental computer, but I think all is well now so I am going to catch you up on what we have been up to for the last month. Here goes! We went down to Fairhope to celebrate Easter as well as throw a surprise 60th birthday party for Nonnie. She was surprised!! It was a little crazy pulling it off, but we succeeded, and she swears she had no idea. Many thanks to my sisters & dad who did most of the planning. My job was making up the lies to throw Nonnie off the trail.... hmmm... don't know if that is a skill I should be too proud of :) I particularly love the pictures of all the grandkids watching a movie; it reminds me of pictures my parents have of us as kids with all our cousins and family friends.

Technical Difficulties

The Freeman family computer is currently teetering between life and death, so there will be no posts for a while. This is very sad for me because I have some great pics to share from Easter & our visit to Fairhope for Nonnie's surprise party. Matt however, is secretly happy because this means he could possibly get to buy a new computer. I caught him drooling at all the new shiny Macbooks on the Apple website last night.

Practice Makes Perfect

We had our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. It was a gorgeous, warm day perfect for the occasion. This was Charlotte's 1st time hunting and she caught on quickly. Once Matt explained to her that it was like the "Clean Up" song, she was could not be stopped. By the end of the day, she would see an egg & start running towards it saying "Oh, see egg!" or "Wow!".  It was quite entertaining. So watch out Hughes cousins, it is on this weekend!!

Definitely NOT Ready!

So I bought Charlotte an Elmo training potty......

We have been having an awful lot of conversations about pee pee and poo poo, so I thought "What can it hurt? We'll see what happens!" She was very excited to have Elmo give her a high 5 and talked about it the whole way home. I confess I was excited too & had almost convinced myself that she would be "that" kid that sits on the potty once and never goes back to diapers. HA!!! I was brought crashing back to reality after we set it in the bathroom and I asked Charlotte to show Daddy how she sits on the potty. Unless she's got some plumbing I haven't noticed yet, we are definitely NOT ready for potty training! A girl can dream though, right?

Cape Girardeau

We went to Cape Girardeau, MO two weekends ago to visit Matt's family. We made the trip to celebrate 2 very important events - cousin Connor's 1st birthday and the birth of his new baby sister, Kaia. It was a wonderful weekend spent with all of the Freeman family: Big Daddy & Jodi, Hokie & Faye Faye, Carson, Dex, Ross, Peyton, the Pooles,  & Whitney. We stayed in Big Daddy & Jodi's beautiful, big new house, complete with baby ducks for the pond! We even got to see Carsie play basketball. We can't wait to go back for another visit this summer!
