Lale’s sister Tulin graduated from Dental School… and then there were two.  Doctor… Doctor….

I took Lale and Shattuck to the Airport Wednesday evening.  They were going to Florida to see Lale’s sister graduate from Dental School.  He talked the entire flight.Security didn’t allow me to walk him to the gate.







On the subject of travel.  This picture is of Shattuck’s Great-Great-Great Grandfather (standing) W.T. Adams outside the W.T. Adams Machine Co. in Corinth, MS.  Ready for a trip in the buggy is his Great-Great Grandfather W.C. (Chubby) Adams, William Adams, and Estelle Adams.  How travel has changed.

Lale, Shattuck, and I went Downtown Memphis to our condo to see how the construction was going.  Jim Bob is doing a great job with the new wall he’s putting up so we can rent it as a two bedroom.  We decided to go up and spend the next hour on the roof to enjoy the beautiful weather.  Then we went around the corner to the coffee shop on Main St. near the Arcade.

Shattuck and I enjoyed the outdoors this afternoon.

Shattuck decided to go outside and enjoy the first pretty day we’ve had in Memphis in a few days.  The weather was beautiful.  His mother went to a neighborhood get together for women.  The boys are fending for ourselves this evening.  Shattuck is going to have a bottle of milk and go to bed.

Shattuck was so happy to see me after work.

Shattuck just received his first ‘Jumper’… he held on as tight as he could.

Shattuck’s first day on the Trade Desk was very busy.  He started his day around noon… he doesn’t believe in coming in before the open.  After lunch… he went up to his desk and after a few minutes talking with the Traders… he took a nap.  After his nap… he took a bathroom break, ate a little more, and then took another nap.  4:00pm came along and it was time to pack up and go home.

Shattuck was a joy to come home to this afternoon.  He’s very vocal in his crib. As I sat in my chair in the den, I asked Lale why he was crying. She responded that he’s not… he just likes to yell and sing.  So I went to his room to inspect… this is the image I found.

Shattuck met up with his friend Emerson Jones this weekend at the Double Decker Festival in Oxford, MS.  Emerson is 2 days younger than Shattuck.
