"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate."

It's a quote from Jack Sparrow. A character in a movie. A popular movie. For those of you familiar with my literary snobbery, I admit, I would expect me to quote something a little more time-tested as well. But I can not readily think of any other claim I find to be truer. I heard it and thought to myself, "Well that's just beautiful. And how right and simple."

This is really just a place for those close to our family to keep track of us and our little treasure, Patton. It will be a place where I'm sure I will unload a lot of complaints, sing praises, drop bombshells, and celebrate the tiniest victories. Maybe Tim will stop by and drop a line every so often. Our life is beautifully quiet, uncomplicated and easy in the way that southern living by the sea is meant to be. It may not entertain or grab hold of you as you peruse its goings-on, but we love it dearly, and are happy to share each little moment with you.

It's a Festivus miracle!!

It's a Christmas extravaganza!!

What a Christmas for baby P (he really isn't a baby now (tears), he is more like a little boy).

We had so much fun visiting. Playing with Jake, hiding under the table. Catch with uncle Charlie. Getting confused because Mike looks so much like daddy. Playing safari with aunt Jody and chase with aunt Francie. There was so much new stuff that some of it had to be shipped ups because the car was stuffed completely full.

There were so many new clothes (not that P gives one whit about clothes except how to take them off), but they are a hit with the ladies. I have been stopped in the store several times with a "he is soooooo adorable" (mean look from the boyfriend) while sporting a new Christmas outfit.

He loves all the books so much that I showed him the sign for book last night and today he is doing it after handing us a book to read to him.

It is amazing to me how many new words (in sign and spoken) he learned in the last week. From calling after Anna when she went into the bathroom to take a shower to "boy" for the driver of his safari truck and a picture of Jackson and Fisher. He started signing for sure- all done, more, book, momma, and best of all grandma, which he did when Jackie walked into the house.
