Winter Storm 2014

Southern Freeze 2014 hit Georgia and the Savannah area.  

While we were promised snow and a half an inch of ice.  We only received cold temperatures and some ice in a few places but none on the ground.  Still, school was closed for 2 days because of the extreme cold temperature.  

Woke up looking for the snow.  

He found a little, although it was actually hail type material, but hey it was white and piles up in our yard.

Iced over palm bush, that's not a good thing for the life of the plant.  

I made this a few weeks ago, but I guess I never posted.  The winter storm was in January.  

Sunday, Family Day

We started this Sunday with a drive to one of the closest establishments to our house, Dunkin Donuts.  Zachary and Daddy had some donuts while 'Miah and I played.  

It is nice to have the outdoor seating and Zachary was thrilled to get a donut.  

After playing upstairs for a few hours, we put Jeremiah down for a nap and had a sitter come over.  Zachary, Austin and I went to see the Lego movie for Z's first movie.  He was exacted and sat on Austin's lap for the first half without moving at all.  Then he asked to sit with me and stayed there for quit a while.  Then he wanted to get up, which he did but he stood right next to us and watched that way.  It was an enjoyable experience and actually a good movie. 

Z enjoyed it so much he was upset when we started leaving and asked to still watch the show.  So we stayed.

And stayed...

Standing watching the credits.  

still watching the credits, lights on, cleaning crew in the theater.  Finally the screen shut off and Z said, all done.  He will have to learn to leave before the credits in the future but for his first movie we let him enjoy every minute.  

Next to the theater new construction is started.  Last weekend Zachary saw Bob the Builder for the first time and has been hooked.  He always loved construction sites and equipment but after watching that he is even more hooked.  

He wanted to watch the non moving excavators all day, but we wanted to get home to Jere.  We had a good end to the day playing upstairs as well.  Glad to have these family days each Sunday.  Soon they will be at the beach!

Spring is Here

Every winter when spring arrives in February it reminds us of why we love Georgia weather.  In general, it is nice 70 degree sunny weather and it couldn't have come any later with the extra cold winter this year.  Now on to update you on our recent activities.

Last weekend we had Maddox (Max) visit with us for most the day Saturday so his parents could go and enjoy Mike's birthday.  

I expected Jeremiah to be a little jealous because he is kind of a sensitive mama's baby.  However he surprised me by being thrilled to wake up to Max in his room and wanted to play with him non stop.  

Z man enjoyed playing with him as well, but it didn't last as long before he was on to other activities.  

Even when I was feeding Max his bottles Jeremiah wanted to hang out with him.  

It was pretty cute to see them together.  

Then after church on Sunday to enjoy the beautiful weather we went to the wine and chocolates event at Butterducks winery.  We enjoy it there because it is basically a huge back yard for the boys to play in and they provide gold fish crackers to snack on for the kids.  

Zachary and Jeremiah spent a lot of the time playing with our friend's boys Joey and Matty.  It really is helpful to have other kids around that enjoy playing with them.  

Looking like a big boy in his rugby shirt, but in desperate need of a hair cut.  

As I was putting Z in bed Saturday night he asked if we could see Ms Michelle and have her get his hair out of his face and look cute.   It was adorable and sad all at the same time.  

We already had a haircut appointment for Tuesday afternoon to allow Zachary to "get cute."

And Jeremiah to get cute as well.  

Ms Michelle is our next door neighbor who's son Brannon is a little younger than Zachary.  It is nice to have them be able to play in the front together already.  

Celebrating a well behaved haircut with a sucker from Ms Michelle.  I honestly have never seen one kid let alone two chill out and relax to get their hair cut.  Is this normal?  I am not sure why they are good with it, but I am happy that hair cut time is a fun experience.
