bammie's bday


bammie turned 70 on april 9th! her children all decided to surprise her in florida for her birthday weekend. she is the mother 6 children and 2 step-daughters, and so dan and his siblings made the trip sans the "out-laws" and grandchildren. they successfully surprised bammie and had a great time.

donovan and i took the opportunity to take a road trip to burnsville for a long weekend. i got to visit with friends, including an overnighter in asheville, while gram and grandaddy...and aunt lisa corralled donovan. donovan has always been a good night sleeper until getting a cold a couple weeks ago. he has been getting up most nights since then, so a night of uninterrupted sleep was fabulous!

donovan had a blast. this past month he is really starting to show his personality. that is a nice way of saying he is getting an attitude. when told no he has been known to bite, hit or have a screaming fit....and yes i realize this is only the beginning. although i am not a fan of it, i will say i am much more confidant in parenting a temper tantrum than a colicy 6 week old. donovan spent his time convincing (screaming at) people to take him outside. he went to the nursery at church for the first time, and got to play the drums after the service. donovan only sleeps in his bed, with his nuk, blanket and sound machine. he played so hard in burnsville that during a walk he fell asleep in the backpack.

we reunited with dad on monday...and now it is time to plan a birthday party!
