Doesn't Your Grandma Kiss You?

Austin is fortunate enough to have Nana at his school most days. The other day she ran into him in the lunchroom and gave him a big hug while he waited in line. She went on about her business and before leaving stopped by to tell him to have a good day. He was already seated at the table, so she went up behind him and playfully rubbed his head and kissed his cheek. The little girl sitting across the table witnessing this gesture of love questioned, "Why did you just kiss him?". Nana replied, "Doesn't your grandma kiss you?" She replied pointing down the table, "Yes, but Austin is down there!"
Needless to say, Nana's face turned 5 shades of red!

My Punkins!

Fun at the

Pumpkin Patch!!

Tyler wasn't too happy about posing with his cousins!! Oh well, we tried!!

Madilyn's First Car

Nana and D got Madilyn her first car for her birthday! She absolutely loves it! She hasn't quite figured out that she has to hold on to the steering wheel, but we have 14 years to learn that! The video is of Madi enjoying her car and below is a picture from the day she got the car. She was so upset when the battery died and had to be charged.

Nana and D-I'll have Madi hit you up for a car when she turns 16! :)

Pat-a-Cake for Nana and Me!

Turning 2!!

It's Madilyn's birthday!!!!! She is 2 years old now! My how time flies!

She is so big. She loves to play with Austin and ride in her car. She loves playing outside and popscicles in he bathtub! She also likes to dance and is daily perfecting her nonverbal communication (which will one day get her in trouble...she can throw some mean looks!).

We love you Madi and are so proud of you!

Happy Birthday!!

Riding Bikes!!!

D and Nana located another great yard sale find!!! They found Madilyn her first tricycle...and she loves it, especially the bell!!! She is still a little short to reach the pedals, but it won't be long! She's getting so big! Austin was excited he will have someone to ride with soon!

Tyler Dawson

Tyler Dawson finally made his arrival yesterday!!! We are all so excited! What will he call me...we have DiDi (D), GiGi, KiKi, BiBi....who knows?? We haven't discussed it yet. Austin is very excited to have another boy cousin. I'm sure Austin will teach him lots of things (some Kiera may wish Austin wouldn't pass on...but I guess that's what cousins are for!). I'm terribly going to miss him not growing up here with Austin and Madi, but I guess it isn't my decision...and we'll make due! There will just be alot of traveling between Florida and North Carolina.

I overhead Austin on the phone with Kiera asking her if Tyler would be walking when she came down to visit (which will be in October). He was quite disappointed that he wouldn't be running around the yard with him yet. That time will come soon enough. Madilyn calls him "Tys." It is absolutely adorable. We cannot wait to meet Tyler!! Way to go Kiera and David!!!
