Nathan, Heather and I went to see the Sesame Street show at the macon Colesium last night. It was definitaly sensory overload for Nathan. He stared at the stage for the first half of the show without moving.

We had a big weekend! We went to the Ga National Fair in Perry on Saturday. Nathan was fascinated by all the animals (cows, goats, llama, rabbits, dogs and TIGERS) He also got to sit on a "Big tractor" at the John Deer exhibit. Maddie was just taking it all in.

Nathan also moved to a "big boy bed" Sunday. we moved Maddie to Nathans baby bed and set up a twin bed for Nathan. He thinks he is sooo big. Maddie has already taken a fall from Nathan's bed and suffered a black eye.

Maddie has developed a shoe fetish. She trys to put on everyone's shoes.

I'm a terrible blogger... maybe I'll invite some others to help me.

Maddie (Tater Tot) is making an effort to start talking. She will repeat after you if you say "uh, oh" or "ouw". She was recently promoted to another class at day care. She is walking very comfortably and eating everything you put in front of her. Of course, I missed posting a blog about her birthday party. She had a great time and got cake everywhere. The party had a laddybug theme and everyone went home with ladybugs to put on their plants at home.

Nathan (Pistol Pete/Corn Dog) is learning to use the potty. We have just started and its not going very quickly but he did TT in the potty last night. Everyone was so excited for him and he was very excited about the M&M's he got as a prize. He is a great big brother to Maddie. He is always showing her things and trying to "help" her.

My father is recovering from a collastomy reversal. He spent over a week in the hospital as his bowels "woke up". He was rehospitalized last weekend because his iron and salt levels dropped. He went to Emory yesterday and they believe he is recovering and there is no need for additional concern.

Our real estate investments are going well. We now have 4 SFH (single family homes) rented, 2 under renovation (contractor hell) and 1 under contract. We also have 2 duplexes under contract. We were awarded deal of the month in September for one of the SFH we purchased and stand a chance of winning October for one of the properties we have under contract.

Nathan's Birthday was yesterday. Heather, Kaydian, maddie and Nathan went to Chick Fil A to play in their park. Nathan had a blast and Maddie really enjoyed watching the other kids. Maddie was dedicated at church Sunday. My mom, aunt, and grandmothers were able to come over for Maddies dedication and to celebrate Mothers day. Maddie showed out a little during the dedication ceremony but in all it was a wonderfull day.

I'm going to try to be a better blogger. A lot has happened since my last update to the blog. Heather and I went to Cancun for my companies sales meeting. We had a wonderful time and the kids got to visit with their grandparents in Columbus. They also stayed with the grandparents during Heather's annual outage at work. They came back spoiled of course. Maddie and I have been sleeping downstairs for the last few nights b/c Maddie got in the habit of waking up in the middle of the night and getting a bottle. Daddy gave her a little tough love and broke that habit in two days... I hope. Maddie is now eating squash, carrots, and all of the cereals and the girl does not miss a meal. Nathan's vocabulary is exploding and he is now talking about T-T and the potty. Maddie now has 2 teeth and has weathered them coming in fairly well. Summer is almost here and we are excited about another ski season. Heather won't be pregnant this year... first time in a while. She is suffering from a sore shoulder that we hope will not affect her season. We hope to get Nathan out on the Kneeboard a little this year and may try some skiis if he wants to. He's a little young but they say if the child has an interest they are capable. I'm struggling with my investment realestate a bit. I have had 2 tenants move out on me in the last 2 months with little or no notice. Its frurstrating because the business was just starting to hold its own and turn a profit. Heather's company, A Hair Affair, did well in 2004 and has turned the corner to profitability... atleast in a cash flow since. They are still in debt to their financers ;)

I'm a terrible blogger!!!!
