Bouncing with the Bowles Boys

The Gaffney cousins kept the party going into Sunday morning and returned to the bouncey house. Tad loved it, as well as the pig pile on Godfather Travis.

Ringing in the New Year

Cooper and Brady kindly shared their favorite ride-on: Towmater!

Playing with Brady.

Buddies: B is 7 just months older than Tad. We will soon be in trouble...

Tad and his Godfather, Travis.

Hello fans!

Tad and his Dad.

Grammy and her boys: trying to capture all 3 in 1 photo was a challenge!

Big Boy Coop.

Tad and Pop.

Tubby time! Clearly these kids need some sun.

Our trip to Opryland.

Who is this guy? He doesn't look like a frenchie.

Coop on the go.

Grammy, Pop and the gang.

We headed to Nashville to celebrate New Year's Eve with the Bowles, Grammy and Pop. Tad loved playing with his cousins and all their toys. He especially enjoyed tubby time in the big tub with his buddies. Life back at home is very boring...

The temperatures were very chilly in Nashville, so after a brief trip to the park we headed to Opryland to run around and enjoy the Christmas decorations. At night we had a great time catching up with Meg, Trav, Grammy and Pop. Armed with my ND Snuggie (my favorite Christmas gift!), Gloria champagne and many rounds of Family Feud on the wii, I shocked Johnny and made it to midnight. Tad was anxious to experience 2010 and reminded us of who is the boss when he made an appearance at 3:00 am! Thanks to the Bowles for hosting a very fun weekend.

Snow Day

Last week Tad experienced what may be his first and last snow day here in Atlanta. I was reminded of that fabulous feeling of looking at the window, seeing snow and hearing that school was closed! For the New England disbelievers, the roads were actually very icy. Thanks to Aunt Jeannemarie and Cousin Cooper for the furry snowsuit - Jeannemarie gave it to Coop 2 years ago when he visited New Hampshire and Coop lent it to Tad for his first winter.

Tad has hair!

The new year has brought a head of hair to Tad! He is still waiting for a tooth, but is enjoying his new do. Tad and Johnny indulged me the other night and I "styled" Tad's hair for the photos above.
