Rock Stars Are Born, Lottie Sue Pics, Marathons & Getting Lost

Hello all! I hope life is treating you well! Things are great with us, we broke down and bought Rock Band. And not just Rock Band really, we had to buy an XBOX360 to play Rock Band so we basically bought a gaming system to play one game. But it is oh so worth it. I personally like to wail on the drums. We have a band even; Cera is on lead vocals, Matt is our bassist, Tommy is our guitar guy and I'm on drums. When we have visitors we make them play so they'll understand our obsession. Mom and Dad came over Friday night to see Lottie Sue and we put Mom on the guitar. She liked it very much, see for yourself.

A rock star is born

Tommy and Mom make beautiful music together

Daddy and BB came over last night and we put Daddy on the drums, he loved it as well and I think he didn't want to go home... And yesterday we took MANY photos of Miss Lottie Sue, here you go! She's getting so BIG, it's true when they say they grow so fast...

Why hello there (notice she's on her stomach and happy - a milestone)

And now she is O-V-E-R tummy time, she is refusing to do anything

Here she is being adorable

Here she is being adorable again

She spots my sunglasses

And they go into her mouth (like anything else she gets her hands on)

Possibly a tad bit too big

My future is so bright I have to wear shades

Loving the feet, they are just awesome

A trio of shots on the couch, not much to comment on but let's just say they are all too cute...

Mary Ann had a ladies and babies luncheon last Wednesday, and in attendance: Mary Ann (of course), Megan, Kim (and Max), Rachel (and June), Heather (and Caroline and Jack) and then Lottie Sue and myself. We had a marvelous time. I forgot my camera but Heather sent over some photos (thanks Heather!).

Anywho...not much going on with us this week. I have some contract work with Scripps and that's keeping me pretty busy. It's fun to be creative (in a work way) again! Megan is running the Disney marathon so she and Tommy are in Florida. Thinking of her running reminded me of Matt's first (and only ever he says) marathon, I knew we had some photos...

That's Matt and John in 2000, the marathon was at Kiowa Island (John ran it again this year)

Matt named this photo "beaten man" - that cracked me up

And then after I found that photo of course I find others and I'm posting them below for your enjoyment. And there is one of me that is painful to look at, but it's high school so I get a pass.

Ernie HATES bathes. Detests them.

OK, this is it - yikes - it was taken at the Dixie Stampede

Matt and I attend a UT game at Notre Dame in 2001

Here we are in San Francisco in August of 2001, Matt had proposed to me earlier that day

Oh yeah - one of our favorite shows is coming back at the end of January - LOST! Megan sent this link and I've seen it myself, it's right off of our exit. Go Knoxville!

Alrighty, I bet Megan will come in first or second tomorrow at the marathon. Good luck MEG!

PS - Josh called the other day to let us know that they are having a GIRL! One of each, so very neat!
