Go Irish!

A future linebacker? Tad's Great Granddaddy and namesake, Tad Harvey, was a tackle for Notre Dame. In addition to his athletic skills, we hope Tad inherited his big heart. Great Gram and Grammy shared these wonderful family treasures with Tad. It's unbelievable how helmuts have changed.

Where is the Frenchie habitat?

Check out my cool Frenchie t-shirt from Aunt Jeannie.

"Reading" with Grammy. Eating and throwing books counts, right? Those Ivy League schools are overrated anyway.

Back at my perch. Hey neighbors! What up?

Everyone, this is my Pop. I hear he's a pushover and gave my cousin Coop seven sausages for breakfast one morning. My Grammy seems to be a sucker as well. I guess they're a good pair. Grammy claims to actually like changing my diapers (I often scream during this process as it is rather unpleasant).

Still love my feet.

Wow. That sleeping rhino looks a lot like my doggie, Tug, only much bigger. Where do they keep the frenchies at this place?

Sneak attack.

Grammy and Pop arrived on April 15th for a long weekend. We were the first stop on their southern tour, including time in Savannah and at The Landings. They spoiled Tad with new clothes and a rocking chair that he has now mastered standing up on. We spent Sunday at Zoo Atlanta, but somehow managed to all forgot our cameras. Pop took the above pics with his cell phone. We had a great visit and only wish it could have been longer.

Surf's Up

Party time!

Kit teaches Tad how to eat sand. Delicious.

Elsie braved the chilly water temps while the rest of us enjoyed some great weather, playing in the sand and beer. Tad was determined to chug a cold one, but had to settle on eating sand.

Adventures at Belted Kingfisher & Salty Dog

Yum!

Elsie & Kit on the egg hunt.

Thanks for the truck, Grammy.

Tad's Taxi Service will soon be in operation. Tad's favorite toy is his ride-on racecar from Aunt Jeannemarie. We couldn't leave home without it, so we brought it to Hilton Head and Tad took his cousins for a spin. He loves pushing little buddies around and relies on them to steer. We enjoyed an early taste of summer at Salty Dog and cannot wait to go back...

Johnny & his copilot

Elsie gets off her bike to do some exploring.

Where to next?

Weeee!!! Tad discovered his new favorite activity at Hilton Head - bike riding. He loved the wind in his face and peddling around Sea Pines on the back of Johnny's bike. The motorcyle is collecting dust in the basement, but Johnny certainly has a nice wooden basket on this two wheeler.

Oink Oink

Grammy took us to a petting farm while at Hilton Head. Tad loved meeting all the animals and learning their sounds. The pig sounded quite similar to his pups.

Easter at Hilton Head

I'm going to get those glasses.

Hey You! Tad's signature point.

We took a road trip to Hilton Head for the long Easter weekend. Above are the photos - better late than never... We had a great time with Grammy, Poppa, Beth, David, Elsie and Kit. Tad put on his Sunday best and headed to mass on Easter. Fortunately, the church had a large lobby for cruising around.
