"May May What Are You Thinking?"

My first book has been published!!

This story takes you on a journey with May May the cat as he tries to find the perfect place to envision a warm summer day on a bitter autumn morning. Despite multiple obstacles posed by his "people", he decides to make the most of his day no matter what and finally is able to find a perfect resting spot to dream about summer. The book touches on a positive attitude despite all odds, elements of the five senses, and the power of the creative mind, while introducing a more advanced vocabulary to early readers.

Christmas 2010

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care..in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there...

Oh Christmas Tree where is your star? Will broke it while a-playing...

Christmas Time in Columbia

Just a few pics of Will running around one of his favorite places in the world..."Woodley's Plant Nursery". Weird, I know. But he loves all the fountains, stone figurines, gnomes, plants, and most of all us running after him

Three Blind Mice

Saturday night, October 30th, Sarah, Amy and I dressed up as mice...with a twist! We added sunglasses and a cane so we were the three BLIND mice. It was a hit! Everyone loved the clever costume and we got a real kick out of tapping around with our canes and pretending to be blind.

At Jillians!

More love for the Cat and Drake is still alive too.

Will sure does love this cat! He gets so excited when he sees him, saying "May May! May May!" And for all of those people wondering about Miss Drake, well here's a picture of her to prove she's still around. She's such a sweet girl.

Duckie Shoes

Will loves his duckie shoes!!

Will has been insistent upon wearing these duckie shoes lately. He absolutely loves them. His cousin Tucker actually gave them to him! Thanks Mary and Tucker!

Trick or Treating in Clearwater

Last night was the official Trick or Treating night in our neighborhood. Gracie the Cow and her mama Elizabeth and my sister Sarah came over to Trick or Treat with us. As you can see, the Cow and the Cowboy were quite the pair. They had a great time being pulled around and munching on candy. Not a bad deal at all for them! The favorite candy? Lollipops!

Will the Wild Cowboy!

Yesterday night Brian and I, Will the Cowboy, Hart the Fisherman, and Amy & Lee went to Riverbanks Zoo for Boo at the Zoo. Basically it was all of us walking around and doing trick or treating at the various stations throughout the zoo. Will loved it. He was very independent and would walk ahead of us with his bucket, approach the booths, look up and say "Peeez?", they'd hand him candy, he'd set his bucket on the ground, take the candy, then put the candy in the bucket, then pick it back up and walk to the next station.

Hart the Fisherman


Sweet boys! On the way in.


The Haunted Carousel. Will chose to ride the giant panda. Probably because it reminded him of May May.

Hart the Fisherman and Will the Cowboy. Check out Hart's green boots!

That's all for now!

Getting ready for Halloween!

Will & the Scarecrows

Amy sent this pic to me this morning and I just had to post it. Will is hysterical!

Will & the Cart

Here are some pictures of Will playing in the pumpkin cart. You can see the progression of events as he climbs in, finds the handle, and drops it on my foot. He thought it was hilarious when I said "OUCH!"

Will & the Pumpkins

Here are some pictures of Will and the pumpkins.

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Last night Will and I met up with Amy and Hart and visited the pumpkin patch in Lexington. Along with picking out a pumpkin, we also took advantage of the photo opportunities, courtesy of the straw ponies and cart. Will is such a ham. As soon as I put him on the horse he started grinning and posing. He had a great time and loved the attention.

Will and May

Will really loves Macon (May May). Below are a couple of cute pictures. The first is of Macon and a stuffed cow. When I was putting Will down for bed last night, he saw the cow in his closet and started reaching for it and saying "May May! May May!" so I gave it to him and he hugged it really tight and gave it a kiss and said, "May May!". I guess he thinks it looks like Macon. Really, it kind of does!




This second picture is of Will listening to Macon's heart. I bought this stethoscope for him at Dollar General and he loves it. I tell him to listen to May May's heart and he'll go and find the stethoscope, put it on his ears, smash Macon down on the ground and listen.
