Uncle Steve's Visit

We were so excited to have Uncle Steve {my brother} in Indy visiting for the weekend! Unfortunately, his flight into town on Friday night was delayed, so Carter was already asleep when he got here. I had a recipe from Andrea that I really wanted to try, so Nick, Steve, & I enjoyed a fantastic dinner of Crazy Sista's Juicy Pot Roast Sandwiches {another post all of it's own...I wish I had taken pictures!}. Then we just chatted and were glad to be able to spend some time together.

On Saturday morning, we enjoyed a semi-lazy morning for a few hours before Nick and Steve headed out to play some COLD golf. Carter and I hung around the house for a while. He has always been into phones, remote controls and other gadgets he shouldn't have. It occurred to me that I had an old cell phone he could play with. I took the battery out and gave it to him to play with. When Nick and Steve got home from golf, he was showing off what he had learned.

(the video is a little long...sorry, but the end is cute!)
Then he wanted to show Steve his music table.

Let me just return a few e-mails for you here on your blackberry...you relax, Uncle Steve.


Carter LOVED playing with Uncle Steve! Steve would push him around in his car, and he would smile & laugh so much. After that got old, Steve would build a "house" really tall with Carter's mega blocks, and Carter took much delight in running over to it to push it down! He was so happy to have a new playmate!
Of course, we capped off the day preparing for the Tide's victory over UT. Roll Tide!

Nick, Steve & I watched the game after Carter was in bed, and then the boys enjoyed a post-game cigar in honor of the victory {see post below}! Not as much fun as lighting one up in Neyland would have been, but great nonetheless.

We had a great breakfast at Patachou this morning before taking Uncle Steve to the airport to head home. We had a great time and look forward to seeing you at Thanksgiving!

{ps...sorry, Allyson, (kind of) for the previous post...it was Nick...}

No worries...I would have done the same thing had UT won! Fulmer is one loss away from his pink slip. Just wait until we land a new coach like Norm Chow...UT will be back on top. We were National Champs last in 98, we will return. It's all cyclical.

ok, way behind after a loss in the family,so i am catching up yet again...

emily has onld phone too! she says nana and dada though...tells you who's calling mommy all the time here! if we tell he to say hi (at any time) she waves...same as her bye bye. maybe she'll catch one one day!

ROLL TIDE! wish we'd been able to hold 'em to 3 though!

diapers...you probably already have this solved, but we had the same problem with emily. they always seems to leak out the front b/c she sleep on her tummy. we started going up one size at night and we rarely have a leak...and we let her drink as much as she wants. she's in 3's now, so at night we do 4's. i've also been told by a good friend that has a boy that the pull-ups work (i think she called them night times) great for their son.

love the pictures of your house! so cute...except that snow! whew! makes me shiver just thinking about it. it's finally getting cold here and we are in the midst of planning a trip to KC to see family in december. hopefully emily will see some real snow then!

take care!
