Georgia: The Farm and Football

This picture pretty much sums up this little boy's trip to Georgia. He was in Heaven playing on the farm and then watching the UGA Bulldogs play football in Athens.

Thomas loved showing off his swimming skills for Nana and Papa.

 

 

 

 

Thomas logged in MANY hours playing with all of his tractors.

 

Thomas was deep in conversation with Papa. He was telling him all about his trip to the "hospital"....a.k.a the doctor. He had a bad cough before we left town and we had to do breathing treatments, which Thomas hated. He interpreted the whole experience as a trip to the hospital to fix his neck or lips, depending on the day he told the story.

Saying goodbye to Grandmother.

 

Now this is a walk filled with lots of attitude.

 

On Saturday, the whole family made the trip to Athens. This little boy was so excited he could hardly stand it.

 

 

 

It was so fun to bring Thomas to the city where "it all began." Athens will always be a special place for our family since Patrick and I met there. Hoping this little guy finds the girl of his dream in the same place one day.

 

Thomas was very focused on the game. He loved seeing Hairy Dawg, Uga and his dog house, and the fans yell the "Go Dawgs" cheer during kick offs.

 

 

While we were in Sandersville, I saw this picture of Patrick. He is just a little bit older than Thomas, but oh my at how much they look alike.

 

Busy Boy

We have been busy the last week, but busy with lots of fun things!

 

On Friday night, we went to dinner with the Joys. These two little boys laughed and played the whole time. They are such good friends and have the best time together. When we left the restaurant they were fascinated with the stars and then started being silly.

                         

 

On Saturday morning, Thomas and I met the Bowie girls at the Zoo. It was the most beautiful fall day, so we loved being outside.As you can see from the picture below, we had to bundle up a little at first, but quickly warmed up! The kiddos had fun chasing each other through the zoo. We finished our outing at the Sea Lion show, which is always a favorite. 

                                                 

 

On Sunday afternoon, Patrick took Thomas to play golf on the "big golf course." He was so excited to go play with Daddy. After hitting some balls on the range, they played a few holes together. I foresee a lot more of these outings in there future.

                                        

 

Thomas is very serious about his golf game, as are most golfer, it seems. He is actually pretty good, so I guess all of the "practice" is paying off.

                                        

 

Thomas and I are spending the week in Georgia. As you can tell, this little boy is in heaven. He drove the front-end loader and helped Papa "move dirt." Boys and their toys.

Football, Football and Life



Like any good Southern family, we have been counting down the days until football season started. Thomas has been so excited to watch Georgia play football. He really pays attention to the game...where the ball is, who falls down and who throws the ball. His comments about the game are very entertaining.

 

We also have a new set of game day clothes this year...less of the baby kind (ie: no smocked bubbles) and more of the big boy kind, like Daddy. This week, he wore his white polo with the "G" on it and his very own Georgia jersey. Number 14 was David Green, the quarterback, when we were in college. He loved wearing the same thing as the football players.

 





                                        

Last week, it was our red polo with the big "G" just like Papa was wearing. That smiles says it all...excited about some football!!

 

                                        

When Thomas saw the UT game on TV earlier this afternoon, he emphatically yelled, "I don't like orange!" Patrick changed over to the Florida game and he screamed again, "I no like orange. I like red." Proud Mama and Daddy moment.....we have taught him well!

 



Taking a break from the game to play with our new firetruck from the Disney Store. He loves the movie Cars, so he got the firetruck for being a good boy.

 



 

Happy face after our win over South Carolina. He told "Mr. Waston" (known to most as Watson) at Sunday School last weekend that Georgia had won their game...part true on his part because Georgia was winning when Thomas went to bed. :(

 

Tomorrow, he will be excited to tell Mr. Waston that Georgia actually did win this week....and won a big game!

 





 

Thomas's teachers at Emmanuel are so cute about updating their web page with pictures and stories. Here are some of the cute ones from last week. I love the picture of all of them napping. Thomas is wiped out after playing so hard. He loves, loves, loves school. We saw some of his teachers on Friday night at Swanky's and he was so excited to run over and say hi.

                           

 

We went to the Zoo early this morning to enjoy the beautiful weather. Thomas had a great time pretending to be a giraffe....cutest little giraffe I know!

 

 

The sea lions are always my favorite to see. Thomas and I curled up in the bubble to watch them swim up close.
