Seth and Thatcher - Winter 2009

We finally got our annual snow fall today! This was Thatcher's first snow and he loved it! Seth, Thatcher and Nick all went out to play today and they got to throw snowballs and eat snow! It is amazing how much Georgia has thinned my blood. I remember when I could go outside in the snow in shorts and a t-shirt and not be phased. Today I could only stand about 15 minutes of it. Thatcher however was a trooper. Even with snow up his pant legs he was stomping around having fun!

I have added a few pictures that shows what we have been doing over the past few months! I also made a short video of Seth and Thatcher playing with some bubbles! Enjoy.

Happy New Year! A lot has happened since we last posted to this blog. The biggest news is that Thatcher is walking now! Now that he is walking he loves to get into all sorts of things. Currently his favorite past time is to walk over to the remote control draw (yes I have a draw dedicated to remote controls...) of our entertainment center, open it up, pick out a remote control and eat it. Thatcher must have very acidic saliva because anything he "eats" stops working shortly after. One of the bigger profile victims was my cell phone! 

I got to spend a lot of time with the family in December. I took three weeks off of work. Seth and Thatcher got a lot of play time with me. Seth and I even took a road trip up to Pinehurst, NC to visit his great grandparents. We got to sleep overnight in a hotel (which he loved.) Seth is now old enough for travel, now all we need to do is get Thatcher there and we may be able to start visiting relatives again! WOO HOO!  I took some  Pictures of the family over the holidays that I think you will enjoy. I also made a short video of Thatcher walking, and Seth making a fruit cake. Enjoy!

It has been an exciting past few months. Thatcher is almost walking now, he took four unassisted steps last night. I had predicted he would be walking by his first birthday and he is almost there. Thatcher had his 1st birthday on Friday. He got a walker, some bath toys, and clothes. He wasn't in the best of moods that day so it was a short lived Birthday but Seth and I loved the cake! 

Since my last post Seth, Megan and I went to an airshow and we celebrated Halloween. Seth went as an astronaut (there is a shocker) and Thatcher went as a sea turtle. Here are some pictures I took of the events.

More Pictures

Don't have a lot of time. I hope you see the videos below. I also posted a few pictures on Shutterfly. Been nuts around here. This is the first free time I have had in weeks.
