Anne Hartmann Lewis had her 4th Birthday at Sweet and Sassy.

A.H. started by picking out her Princess outfit, then her hair was done by the Professionals, next her nails were painted, and then it was on to her studies of how a proper Princess behaves.  She and her friends learned to wave, curtsey, and smile like a Princess.  Once they completed these tasks…. they recieved a certificate that they were Princesses for life… and they recieved wands… so they were actually magic Princesses… and they got to eat a Princess cake… that A.H. designed… I don’t have a picture, but you can use your imagination.

All-in-all… it was a great birthday!!!!










The girls were disrupting West Jr.’s game of playing with Fire Trucks on the stage.



Good thing we had our Safety Ranger (a.k.a West Jr.) watching out for us.

The Old Shepherd

Daphnis, I that piped so rarely,
I that guarded well the fold,
‘Tis my trembling hand that fails me;
I am weary, I am old.
Here my well-worn crook I offer
unto Pan the shepherd’s friend;
Know ye, I am old and weary;
of my toil I make an end!
Yet I still can pipe it rarely,
still my voice is clear and strong;
Very tremulous in body,
nothing tremulous in song.
Only let no envious goatherd
tell the wolves upon the hill
That my ancient strength is wasted,
lest they do me grievous ill.

Macedonius: 6th century A.D.

Shattuck and I walked across the street to the Botanic Garden’s new exhibit… My Big Backyard.

I highly recommend it.









































Home again, home again… jigdidy jig… last on in is a rotten pig…

Shattuck woke up for a long weekend…

Shattuck and I took a jog today it our new BOB REVOLUTION stroller.







Now it’s time for Shattuck’s dinner.

Shattuck and I took a walk this beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Grandmother Adams came to visit Shattuck this weekend.  She gave him his yogart… he loves it.  Last night we took him to dinner at the Grove Grill.  She had the sweet potatoe soup, I had the steak with jalapeno grits, and Shattuck drank a 2009 Infant Formula with Iron.  He fell asleep after his meal.

Shattuck had a good weekend…



Shattuck is so much fun to play with…

At the end of the weekend… Mintie and Shattuck were both tired…

Shattuck attended ‘Crocstock’ over at Graham and Suzanne Reese’s home.



Shattuck had some orange Crocs.



The Reese’s have a play room separate from their house.  It’s awesome. I told Lale I want to build a room in our back yard that just has couches, a large television, a bathroom, and a wet bar.  The ultimate Saturday afternoon football room.
