This post is for Jeremy, who was lucky enough to be able to hit (I know, nice pun) the Braves baseball game tonight, since he's overnighting in Atlanta. Instead of spending Friday night alone in a hotel room, probably located in a business park close to the airport (ie. not even within walking distance of a WalMart, let alone something remotely entertaining), Jer got to cheer on his favorite player, #7 Jeff Francouer (aka "Frenchie"), who, by the way, just happens to be teammates with one of his little league buddies from gradeschool, Brian McCann. I might not be the avid baseball fanatic, but since I live with one, I am privy to all sorts of useful trivia like this! Go Frenchie! (Next time you happen upon a Braves game on t.v., if you listen carefully, you'll hear Bobby Cox yelling this from the dugout.)

welcome!
Our friends and family are spreading further and further across the country, so hopefully this will give us a better chance at staying in touch. (We've historically not been the greatest at keeping up with everyone...sorry if you are one of "everyone".)
Stay as long as you like and leave us a post if 'eyuntoo'!

the outtakes
Macy told me, "Mommy, I love you more than Daddy, bee-tuz (because) you have a pink shirt like me!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after yet another morning of anxiety about afternoon pre-school, "I'm not going to school until I'm 20!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after seeing some kids show up for swim lessons wearing swim caps, "Mom, where do you buy a swim cap?"
Mom: "I don't know...I guess where they sell swim stuff."
Nolan: "Do you want to ask Michael Phelps?"
-2008 August, during the Olympics, of course
While shopping for some school clothes for Nolan:
Mom: "Nolan, do you like this shirt?"
Nolan: "No! If we buy that shirt, it will make me turn dumb!"
-2008 August
A conversation in the car on the way to Aunt Ali's house:
Nolan: "Mom, look at the fire trucks! Did you know that's what I'm going to drive when I grow up? Macy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Macy: (toddler gibberish)
Nolan: "She said she wants to be a tooth fairy! She's going to grow wings and go around and take people's teeth out!"
-2008 August
Nolan: "If the whole world were on fire, would space be on fire, too?"
-2008 August
Nolan runs around crazy fast then puts his hand on his chest and says, "Mom, do you want to feel my heart beep?"
Macy helped herself to the oatmeal container in the cereal cupboard. By the time I found her, she had oatmeal spread all over the kitchen floor! I said, "Macy, is this naughty?" She looked at me immediately and said, "Mo!" (her version of "No!").
Nolan finished the yummy macaroni salad (made by Shannon) tonight within two minutes tops! He asked for more, but I told him he needed to eat some of his other food first. He replied, "But that salad was so yummy that I can't eat anything else!"
Today Nolan and Macy were playing the Let's Go Fishin' Game. I hear Nolan yell, "Mom, I need the power bait!" then a few seconds later, "Reel him in! Reel him in!" If only Daddy and PawPaw could have been there!
We were in the car on an errand when Nolan said, "Oh no! Mom! We forgot to wipe off my milkstache!" (aka milk mustache)
Nolan: "Mom, do you know how pretty you are?"
Mom: "How pretty?"
Nolan: "Pretty enough to pinch your cheeks!"
Nolan, while unwrapping a piece of minty gum, "Did you know that gum is made of dried-up toothpaste?"
Nolan: "Mom, I love you all the way around the world twenty times!"
We keep the cereal in the lazy susan next to the cabinet under the sink. The other morning Macy beat me to the kitchen for breakfast. By the time I realized what she was doing, she had three bowls out of the tupperware drawer, and cereal poured all over the kitchen floor!
Nolan has a four-year-old cousin Elena (aka Leini). He told me the other day, "Mom, Leini says I can marry her when we get big enough."

I don't know anything about baseball, but I do like the word frenchie. I'm glad Jeremy got to do something fun while working!
