Memphis Soccer Tournament

We went with Ernie on a recruiting trip to Memphis. He watched the soccer matches and we kept ourselves busy. Samantha loves to stay in hotels and gets very sad when we leave. She used to try and escape from the room whenever she got a chance. She did much better on this trip with staying in the room. On the last day, we found a park that was close by and wore off some energy before the drive home. It is hard to get both of them to look at you at the same time! Samantha likes to look away at the last moment.

Woody got his first winter hat in Memphis. It was a little chilly! We still need to get him a warmer coat, but we have not needed it in Birmingham, yet.

Samantha likes to go down slides head first. She landed straight in the mulch on this go around.

They both still love each other a lot! We hope it lasts as long as possible.

Woody's hair is getting longer, but it still has a mind of its own.

Samantha is playing hide and seek with daddy. This is her hiding space behind the tree.

Ernie is now hiding from Samantha. It is pretty funny to watch the whole scene unwind.

Tag is her favorite game right now. She still is figuring it out, but she loves to "tag" you whenever she gets a chance.

Everybody needs a hot chocolate break.

A little help from daddy never hurts. She can do it by herself, but she knows a sucker when she sees one.

We walked around the tournament with the baby jogger. Samantha would walk and ride, but Woody used it as a good nap time.

She was very excited to wear her hat, scarf, and gloves from Gramma Donna. I had to keep my eye on her to make sure we didn't lose any of them.

She watched her Tinker Bell movie when it was time to relax. She carried the DVD player around with her all over the room.

Woody enjoyed his breakfast in bed while we were on the road.

Here is a good picture of Woody taking a nap. He passes out pretty well.

Samantha loves her reindeer she got for Christmas last year. Anything that makes noise makes her happy.
