Uncle Chris & Aunt Alicia!

Chris and Alicia came home from Savannah to visit the family and see Cason. We had dinner at Meme's house last night to celebrate Alicia's birthday too. Happy birthday Alicia!

The Michael Bolton concert...yes, I said Michael Bolton.

So I went for the bonding experience, but it was actually a pretty good concert! Me, my mom, my aunt Susie, my cousin Jennifer, and my cousin's wife Mary all went to the Mable House to see Michael Bolton Saturday night. We packed a picnic and sat on the lawn ($20). Towards the end of the concert, Michael yelled into the crowd, "Everyone come up close!" My aunt Susie doesn't wait on anyone to tell her no, so she rushed us all up (after gathering her purse) and we went to the very front. Before I knew it, we were standing in the chairs of the people who paid $300 for a table. Needless to say, they got the crap end of the stick on that one. Oh well...what Michael says goes! Oh, and he had the nerve to throw his guitar pick into the crowd when the show ended like we were all going to dive for it.







Georgia on my mind...sing it Michael

I Heart My New Washer

Thank you economic stimulus check! My drier has found its soul mate. We got a new washer this weekend and I LOVE IT. The thing is so quiet, Ryan and I actually thought it was broken. You know you're getting old when you get excited about a new washer.

Fourth of July Weekend

We had a low-key holiday weekend...pretty much just hung out at the house. Cason has been recovering from a cold that he caught from me, so we figured it was best to keep him in. We did go to Corinne's parents' pool for an hour or so to let Cason have his first swim lesson and hang out with his new friend Jacob. He loved it! Aside from that, Ryan and I climbed up on the roof to watch fireworks Friday and Saturday night. I would've taken a picture of those, but I couldn't fit the camera in my shirt along with the baby monitor. I figured the monitor was more important.

Trin and Cason - she loves "Baby Cason" and he loves her!
He just stares at Trin and plays with her hair every chance he gets.

Cason's New Trick

Cason has started doing this when he takes his bottle...it's so cute!

Momma Sabyl

Sabyl has always been maternal towards Cason, even frantically licking his toes when she sees that he's upset as if to say, "It's okay, it's okay." As long as I can remember, when she knows it is bedtime, she would religiously crawl in between me and Ryan to go to sleep. She would stay there for about an hour, and then make her way to the foot of the bed where she remained until morning. This was our nightly routine, every night.

Since the day we brought Cason home from the hospital, she got up for every feeding, never missing one. She would drag her lazy bones up and come sit in the living room with us until we put little man back in bed. Cason has been sleeping through the night since he was two months old, so every night when we put him to bed and tell him goodnight...Sabyl also follows us in there, sits on his rug until we tuck him in, and then she comes to bed with us. Over the past two weeks, she has changed up her schedule. She has now decided Cason is more important I guess. She falls asleep in front of his crib and at some point she'll make her way into the living room. I think she wants to be within hearing distance if he wakes up! I couldn't find her last night after doing the dishes, and I didn't think she would be in his room because I pulled the door to, but I walked in the back hallway and sure enough...she had pushed the door open with her snout and this is how I found her. I guess we've lost our snuggle bunny.
