Tripp, the technician.

This makes Tripp really happy.  He loves to push buttons on televisions, remote controls, telephones.....pretty much anything with a button.  And then he gets REALLY excited if he sneaks the chance to insert VCR tapes/DVD's!  We'd been stopping him from all his fun, until the day we realized he actually knows what he is doing. Our little Trippy really knows how to work the machines.  He knows which buttons are for on/off, volume, channels, etc....  Now we are amazed, instead of annoyed.  Yeah for Tripp! 

The Bunny Weekend

The Easter Bunny was hopping all weekend around us. We were glad we remembered to take some pictures of all the fun festivities. This is Mollie and Uncle Andy at lunch in Starkville. Andy is moving to Murphy, NC to be the archeologist in the Nantahala Forest, so we went to Starkville to spend a little time with him before he moves. (And Curt and I are really excited to go visit him and explore that area!) 

Mrs. Freda invited us to the Easter Party at the library, and we thought this scary bunny was hysterical. Tripp was not as amused as the rest of us, and couldn't wait to dart away. The kids enjoyed the egg hunt on the shelves of the childen's section. Mollie found eggs. Tripp found Barney movies, of course. haha.

 Laurie Hamilton Smith painted our wooden eggs this year.  I think they are our best ones yet!  Carson got a basketball bunny, William wanted a surfer bunny, Mollie got an Ariel mermaid bunny, and Tripp got a puppy egg. So cute!

 We woke up on Easter morning to a backyard full of eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden for the children. We let them hunt them before church, and realized Tripp cared more about running and sliding than finding Easter eggs, which was good for Mollie, since she won the contest!  :)  Then we got all spiffied up, and headed off for church.  Curt and I had the pleasure of teaching Tripp's Sunday School class, and enjoyed playing with all of Tripp's little friends. Afterwards, we stopped and did a little posing outside before we headed home.

 We changed our clothes and headed over to John and Courtney's to join their family for Easter lunch.  We had a little incident with Tripp harassing their dog, Rocky, so this is the only shot we were able to get, but this is Drew, Camille, and Mollie playing in the backyard. All the children were so sweet and precious. Just wish I could have taken a few more pictures to remember the afternoon. Happy Easter!

Mississippi Children's Museum

Just wanted to share a few quick shots from our eighteen-hundredth visit to the fabulous and always-fun Children's Museum. We love this place, and were so glad we got the chance to play there with our buddies, Shelia and Courtney.
