Quick Post...

I am about to run to class, but I saw this picture on Tania's website and was amazed at how little our Tek was when we brought him home. And what chubby cheeks he had!



Tania... our boys will get to meet again soon! We will be in Columbus the end of May, and Tek will keep up with him this time. And we will get to meet Elliot. I cannot wait!

Gotta go to class and Tornado sirens are going off right now. Riley is freaking out.

Tek's Second Easter Egg Hunt

Tek's first Easter Egg hunt was at daycare this past week. His second was today in Pooler. A friend of mine's church had a field FILLED with eggs. Tek loved it! He knew what he was doing.

After he figured out how to open them, he was pretty much done looking for them.

Here I am telling him what he can and cannot eat. Pretty much he couldn't eat any of it. But Mama could! :)

The event was a lot of fun. Thank you Ms.Emily for inviting us! Oh, I forgot to mention, Tek had his first run in with fire ants. They were ALL over him, and then all over mom. I couldn't tell if he got bit or if he was just afraid from Emily and my reactions. I definitely got bit. I HATE those stupid fire ants, almost as much as I hate sand gnats.

Starting to feel like a Southerner...

Besides making my first fried chicken dinner (I made it for a Ohio visitors, as if my first fried chicken would be for anyone born in the South) I have had other recent experiences that prove I am on my way to becoming a Southern gal.

One of those experiences happened this morning. I met Uga. :) For those of you in Ohio that have no idea who Uga is, let me fill you in. He is University of Georgia's mascot. A Savannah family has always owned Uga. I work with Charles, the only son of the owners. He takes Uga to every game. Charles brought Uga into work today and I had my camera!

He is so ugly he is cute! Don't you think?

This Uga became the mascot after the last Uga past away recently. He is so calm and he loved having all of us women fawn over him this morning.

He is a little more lovable than a poisonous nut, don't you think? Sorry OSU!

The office closed at three today, so Tek and I went to the beach with my friend Danette and her two kids. I love taking pictures of them, they are so photogenic.

This is the second experience that made me realize I am on my way to being a Southerner. I don't think I could ever give up the ability to go to the beach in April. It was beautiful out there. I was chilly (see I am a Southerner) but there were clearly many tourists from Ohio, since the ocean was full of swimmers! :)

Tek found the water pretty quickly.

His pants and jacket were soaked within two minutes of entering the water. So I stripped him down to tshirt and diaper. I swore I would never be the mom with her kid running around in his diaper. FYI: Those of you without kids.... throw ALL of those rules out the window. You will compromise very quickly. :)

He loves to climb and is completely unaware of his limitations. I hope that never changes.

That is all for now. We have a VERY busy weekend ahead of us. Tomorrow we are going to a friend's church for an egg hunt and then on Sunday we have 15 people at our house for the 3rd Annual Blair Family Easter Party. Easter is my FAVORITE holiday and I am very excited about sharing it with my friends. Though it is never quite as good as a Vidmar Family Easter. Missing Easter with the Vidmars is probably the hardest part about living so far away. I was very depressed my first Easter away. But I am working on creating our own traditions, and of course we do have egg rolling... after all, what is Easter without egg rolling? I miss you Vidmar Family, most at Easter time! :)

More pictures to come after the holiday.

Some pictures to share before bed

Andy and I watched Wyatt tonight and I captured some good bath time pics.

Tek loves to splash. I was soaked by the end.

Doesn't Wyatt look like a little boy? He is losing his baby face.

Wyatt let me do his hair. Like it?

After church on Sunday we spend some time at Skidaway. Tek LOVED it!

I think he loved the little dog best though. :)

Off to bed!
Good night.

St. Patrick's Day Pictures

Here are some pictures from St. Patrick's Day. Tek loved the parade. Things have been incredibly crazy in the Blair family. But I am working on getting that under control. So, hopefully you will hear more from me again.
For now, here are a few new things Tek is doing...
1. He is saying: kitty cat, no, Cody, dog, Teketel, daddy, (mama occasionally)
2. He is starting to whisper.
3. He still LOVES to dance. And it's still Kayne West that gets him moving.
4. He is getting his 5th tooth, finally!
5. Running like crazy.
6. Climbing everything... especially the dining room table.
7. His daycare teachers and I are trying to figure this one out, but he gallops EVERYWHERE! If he is really excited about something he just gallops. So strange.
8. He and Riley are acting like brothers. Riley always tries to steal his vanilla wafers and Tek gets so mad, "NA!" (no in Tek language) while he swats at him. And if Riley gets it, oh no... Tek will SCREAM at the top of his lungs until Mom puts Riley out of the room and gives Tek another cookie.

That's all for now... lots of laundry to do.
