Davis' First Play

-

Mom and Dad bought us all tickets to go see Seussical the Musical yesterday afternoon. Gigi and Gramp, Aunt Tiff and Kade, MiMi and Papaw were all in attendance as well. Sam, while invited, decided to take his afternoon nap at home instead.
This was Davis' first full length entertainment opportunity. We have never taken him to a movie or play before. He did very well! Mom and Dad brought a booster for him to sit on so he could see the play. A lot of it went over his head, but he still enjoyed it and sat relatively quietly and applauded when appropriate.
It was fun to watch his reactions. He was concerned each time the house lights went down and was a little bored during the ballads, but he really enjoyed the dancing and was often swaying in his seat.
The musical itself was only so-so. The soundtrack has never been one of my favorites, but the costumes were fun and the choreography was good. The actress who played Gertrude was very good. (Those were the good points and I wouldn't want to put the negatives in print. I might want to work for this theatre company again some day.) Anyway, it was great fun to be out with the family and to watch Davis discover an art form that is close to my heart.

I'm glad it helped! You should go. It was fun. I'm just spoiled I think. It's especially fun to watch the kids watching it.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
