Tucker is 2

It feels like only yesterday when Cory and I were walking out of Dr. Willis's office with a sonogram in hand that showed we were expecting a healthy little boy. "A boy?" We thought, "What are we going to do with a boy." We love having a girl -- and Cory really thought we were going to have another girl. We could have never expected how this little boy would melt our hearts or never could have imagined how sweet and loveable he would be with all his hugs, kisses and sharing with his big sister, or the laughs we could get from his "songs" and peak a boos. And, now that he's really talking and "playing" the piano, well, lets just say we probably wont have a quiet house again until the kids are in college. We're looking forward to all the years ahead, but holding on to all the sweet memories.

Peep Show

The table was covered with peeps as for the 3rd year in a row we prepared our annual peep k bobs. Yum!

Happy 89th Birthday

Happy 89th Birthday to Grandadday {aka William Philip Shattuck - the one Tucker was named after}. We took a road trip to Asheville to celebrate the big day. If Tucker turns out anywhere near as great as grandaddy we will be happy parents. A handful of reasons I'm proud: 1) He takes care and adores his wonderful wife after years and years of marriage 2) He still finds lots of reasons to laugh 3) He's a decorated veteran and protected the County he believes in 4) He was a wonderful doctor who is still amazed in the miracle of how our bodies work 5)He's still learning and talking about new things at his age and 6) Hes a great story teller.

It was calling our name to run around

Jayne and Tom

Springtime in North Florida is one of the many reasons we live here. The crisp, chilly mornings, crystal-clear blue skies and the smell of daffodils make every day even more memorable. Today, as we wound down the sleep back roads of Monticello, the small sign on Highway 90 was the only hint that we were near HoneyLake Plantation and about to arrive at the celebration for Jayne and Tom's rehearsal dinner. Though once you turn on their fence-linef, Spanish-moss draped lane, you know you are in a taste of the good ol' south and this only continued to get better once we arrived to the friendly hugs of Jayne and Tom's family and friends and then settled down for a great southern shrimp boil. Caroline was quite the perfect flower girl hanging on to every word of direction from the wedding planner and Jayne. Tucker on the other hand was more fascinated with the piano and water fountain. Let's hope tomorrow the front of the chapel will be more appealing to little T. One thing is for certain, its going to be another fabulous day tomorrow for the wedding uniting this meant-for-each other couple.

Cheers to the smiles of tomorrow!
