Playdate with the Fireman

Today Gavin and I went to a mommy's group playdate at the Franklin fire station. Gavin was very interested in the truck but was not at all amused when the fireman came out with his full gear on. My otherwise "happy" child was not about to let this "Yellow Darth Vader" come anywhere near him or his mommy. Santa was no problem but this was not negotiable with Gavin. Here are some pictures.

Walk This Way!

Gavin is walking!!! Well, at least we know he can walk. He still crawls when he wants to go somewhere but he will take a few steps on his own if you encourage him to do so. I'm highly disappointed that I didn't witness the first steps. Here I am, at home with Gavin ALL DAY LONG but on February 21st, I took 90 minutes out to go to bible study and he decides to walk for my mom! Worst yet, my mom actually told me!! I would never have been the wiser if she hadn't told me but alas, she couldn't keep it to herself. Anyway, check out the youtube video. Too cute!

Safe and Sound

Many have contacted me concerned about the tornados that hit our region yesterday. All is well here in Franklin but our neighboring community of Fairview did get significant damage. It was the deadliest outbreak of tornados for Tennessee since 1933. I think the death toll is at 33 and there are still 15 missing. Once these 15 people are accounted for, it may end up being the deadliest on record for our state. We did seek shelter at my parent's house. They live a couple blocks away from us and they have an underground shelter in the garage. Here's a link to the company's website.
