Memorial Day Weekend

On Saturday we went to Witt Brown's 3rd birthday party. Any day that includes a birthday party is a great day in Thomas' book. On the way to the party, Thomas asked me what the name of the party was. I said to him that it was Witt's party to which Thomas replied, "No, what's the name of the party?" After a mental workout, I figured out what he was trying to ask me. He wanted to know what the theme of the party was. When I told him it was a race car party, he replied, in typical Thomas fashion, "WOW, I like race cars. I li-i-i-i-i-ike to race." "Wow" is one of his favorite words these days.

We traveled to Tuscaloosa on Sunday for church at Canterbury Chapel and for a reception honoring Ken Fields, our friend and former chaplain there. Ken will be moving to Houston to serve at the largest Episcopal church in the nation, St. Martin's. Ken officiated our wedding almost nine years ago so we didn't want to miss this opportunity to introduce him to Thomas and Hudson and to join in sending him off to a new calling.

On Monday, we spent some time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Thomas had fun running through the sprinkler while Hudson kept Mommy on her toes. We couldn't turn our backs on him for a minute and he would have a fist-full of grass. Thankfully none of it reached his mouth. He is quite determined!
