Just Fishin'

Fishing with Family
at Nana & Grandaddy's

Safe in Aunt Trish's arms

Master Fisherman
Holding Kyle's latest catch

Grandaddy, Nana, and Jack have an amazing dog named Lucky. He's great with kids, enjoys a nice handshake, loves a good petting, and obeys commands. But evidently, Lucky thinks the fish will hurt us, so Nana holds him back when someone's reeling in their catch.
Knox, who notices EVERYthing, decided to join in with Nana. He'd say, "It's okay, Lucky," while he gave the dog a hug and petted him.

Knox has a very sweet personality that truly shines in moments like this.

Zoo Buds

Some families from our church went on our 2nd annual Spring Break Zoo Trip. We rode the church bus, which REALLY excited Knox!

When we arrived at the zoo, we met Uncle Chris and sweet little Chase. Grandaddy instantly insisted on some good lovin' from Chase, so what did that mean for Knox? He gets to push Chase's wagon!!

Gotta have a group picture, right?

Wrong.

"Airplane!!"
Grandaddy, Chase, Nana, and Knox

It was about this time that my heart crushed into pieces.

Knox was old enough to enjoy the zoo.

Oh my. I was NOT ready for this. Where's Reed? We've always come to the zoo for Reed.
Knox knows his animals. Knox talks.
Knox isn't a baby anymore.

I fought back the tears, and let my little man enjoy the zoo. And did he ever?!

My February 4th Babies

Knox's favorite stop was donated by some cool named folks!

There he is!

Knox and Nana

Knox and Uncle Chris

"We got da same shoes, Chase!"

Yes, they really were this sweet!

"Look, Chase. I gotta STAMP!"

"You wanna touch it?"

We piled into Uncle Chris's car to go have lunch at Central Barbecue. Chris and Chase dropped us back off, and then they headed home. We went back in the zoo for some more animals and more fun.
