WE SURVIVED!!! and had a good time!

So we just returned from our week at the beach. We had a great time and there are lots of pictures and stories to tell and I will update ASAP.

An unpleasant summer thunderstorm!!!

Wednesday night our area got hit with a nasty thunderstorm. It rained for a couple of hours and hailed a little bit. Around 6:30 the power went out and it stayed out until 11:00!!!! I had 13 candles burning and it was so hot in the house. As a result of the power being out the sump pump in our basement was unable to run so we had about 6 inches of water in the basement and a tree fell in the backyard. But of course, Patton slept through it all!!!!

Well on his WAY!!!!

When I got to daycare this afternoon to pick Patton up Ms. Sonje and Ms. Janet said he crawled all over the place today!!! All the teachers came by to watch him. So I immediately put him down and he crawled all the way over to me!!! I was so proud of my sweet angel! We came home and I put him on the floor and this is what took place..... (Sorry the lighting is really bad, we had just gotten home and I had managed to turn on all the lights yet!)

Thinking about it....

Enticing him with the remote...

Finally got the remote!!!!!

Videos

So here are the videos I promised to post. He takes a nose dive in one but gets up and at it again. Tough guy!!!

Almost Crawling!!!!

Lastnight Patton crawled two little bitty crawls. My mom swears that he crawled for her last week so I guess I may have to believe her now. It was so funny though because Patton will pick his hand up and slam it down on the floor and then the next hand goes up in the air and slams down on the floor and then he moves his legs. It is hysterical. I have a video to post but will have to post later... I am at work but just wanted to share while it was on my mind. Well, who am I kidding, Patton is always on my mind! :)

Our weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Bill!!!

We headed to Alpharetta this weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa Bill. We had a very busy but very fun weekend. I went to Lake Hartwell Friday night to spend time with Jessica at her bachelorette party and Mark headed to Midtown Saturday night for Josh's Bachelor party. We both had a great time. Patton really enjoyed his time with Grandma and Grandpa Bill. Grandma took Patton for a walk and he got to meet some neighbors along the way. We also spent some time at the Ring's, the next door neighbors, house while we were there and they just couldn't believe what a happy and content baby Patton is. Me, Patton and Grandma went swimming at the neighborhood pool and Patton of course loved it. He is a little fish. Also while we were there Patton reached a milestone! He can now go from the crawling position to sitting up which means his muscles are really getting stronger!!!!!! That was exciting. So as you can tell it was a very busy weekend but full of fun.

Supper Club with Sunday School class

Tonight we had our June Supper Club with the Vines', Garza's, and the Dedmon's. The Vines' hosted and prepared a wonderful meal with spinach and cheese stuffed pasta shells. It was so much fun and there were so many children for Patton to play with! There were six of them, Camilla, Charlotte, J.T., Daniel, Charles and Patton. Charles and Patton are a month apart and it was so fun to watch them interact with one another. We hope to get them together soon to play. I forgot to take my camera so there are no pictures to share but hopefully I will remember it for next month. Patton was a trooper and stayed up way past his bedtime so hopefully tomorrow will go okay.
