Mar 7, 10: CBC

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

We had a guest worship leader tonight; he was one of the guys who went on the church's recent mission trip to Guatemala. I figured I'd take my camera along since I've never taken any pics of our church performances. We got done practicing early so Traci and Turner came by to play on the church's playground.

Thanks to Traci for serving as the assistant photographer while I was playing.

Mar 6, 10: Park!

Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

I had two little photo gigs today which kept me busy for the first half of the day. Boog came over in the afternoon to hang with us a little bit and visit with Turner. We decided to head over to Crockett Park so Turner could play on the playground.

Mar 5, 10: Outside

Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

I think we're all itching to be able to spend some time outside. I got off work a little early today so Turner and I went out and played a little bit.

Mar 4, 10: Mac-chine

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

I usually get to Turner's MDO program a little early so he can walk around. I typically just let him walk around the parking lot nearest the entrance to his class, but then we have to be wary of incoming cars. So, I decided to park around the corner to avoid traffic. He happened upon the large A/C unit and was intrigued by it.

I didn't realize that the little rainbow effect was in the photo when I took it, else I would've tried to eliminate it. But, it's kinda grown on me and I'm willing to accept it as a happy accident.

Mar 3, 10: The Rigors of Daily Photography

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

At this point, Turner knows what my camera is when he sees it. He knows that I'm going to be taking pictures of him so when he sees it he'll want to come sit in my lap and look at the pictures that I've taken. But he doesn't yet realize that it requires him to actually pose for pictures first. He apparently just thinks that the photos magically appear on there.

I pulled out my camera tonight and Turner, despite trying to finish up his milk, automatically started walking toward me, wanting to see his picture on the back. I would move to the other side of the room and he'd immediately follow. So, I just moved back and forth in the room until I got a decent photo of him.

Mar 2, 10: Turkeyrunner

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner drew another picture today at school. After inspecting it, it looks kinda like Turkey-Roadrunner hybrid?

Mar 1, 10: NRB

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:00:00 CST

My company is attending the NRB convention at Gaylord Opryland Hotel right now. They were having trouble with their laptop and Internet today, so Tim and I went over to help them out. I always kinda enjoy tradeshows, and I even scored a cool little bouncy ball from a marketing company and talked to a guy whose real estate office is located on the property where some of the "romantic" scenes from Top Gun was filmed. It was an interesting excursion for sure.

Feb 28, 10: Case

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

As I was practicing bass to play at church tonight, Turner decided to help out by sitting on my bass case. Thanks, buddy.

Feb 27, 10: Recovery Day

Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner was still not 100% better today. So we just spent a lot of time hanging out and trying to get him better. Traci had a party to go to in the evening, so Turner accompanied me to Home Depot and then to Target.

I sent my folks a pic I'd take of me and Turner reviewing (chimping) the photos we had just taken. They claim it's the best photo I have taken of the two of us and have strongly requested me posting it here. You can find it below.

Feb 26, 10: CRS Banner

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Our banner was up at the Renaissance Hotel, so we drove by on our way to lunch to take a pic of it. This banner featured one of the pics I took of Stacey last year. I thought it turned out pretty good.

Feb 25, 10: Croup

Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner went to bed fine tonight, but around 11pm he woke up coughing. It sounded strange, so we went to check on him only to find that he was running a fever and having shallow breaths. His coughs sounded hoarse and strained.

We turned on the hot water in the bathroom and I sat in there steaming with him while Traci looked up some stuff on the internet. We put his humidifier in his room and rocked him until he calmed down and got his breathing back to as normal as possible.

This is our first bout with the croup, and it's no fun to deal with. Turner is doing fine now, though (writing this on March 2).

Feb 24, 10: Jen n' Jon

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Jennifer and Jon are getting married this October. I had offered to do some engagement pics for them for their invites, etc. This is one of the photos they selected, taken on a cold, cold evening.

Feb 23, 10: Mix n' Match

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

I've gotta say, despite what you're thinking, I am not the one that picked out Turner's clothes for today. This is all Traci's doin's.

Turner's MDO teacher requested that we send Turner to school in his rainboots and raincoat because she was wanting to take them outside to play in the rain for awhile. Turner was very happy with this decision and sported his rubber boots with pride and style.

Feb 22, 10: Filter

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner got hold of our new A/C filter tonight and had a good time with it.

Feb 21, 10: Smile Awhile

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Between church, naps, and playing bass at the night service, I didn't really get to see Turner much today. But we got a little while to hang out before he went to bed, and boy was he smiley!

Feb 20, 10: Super Saturday

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner had a big day today, first starting off at Bounce U; he didn't have a great time there and got scared each time I tried to take him down the slide. He had more fun just walking around, until some little girl came right up to him and pushed him down. He fell down on his butt and just sat there looking up at her. She finally helped him up and put her arm around him, but Turner was too interested in...more walking around.

The temp was in the low 60s in the afternoon, so Turner and I went to Crockett Park (while Traci went to the Vandy-Kentucky basketball game). Turner and I had fun at the park, where he did more, yup, you guessed it...walking around!

Feb 19, 10: Ladybug

Fri, 19 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

We've had an invasion of ladybugs lately. We spotted one tonight and gave Turner the chance to play with it. He ended up accidentally swatting it pretty hard. I won't go into the details of the ladybug's current status.

Feb 18, 10: Beads

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Some beads hanging in our living room.

Feb 17, 10: Stars

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

This was the packaging of a little weight that came with some balloons that my parents got for Turner for Valentine's day.

Feb 16, 10: Razzberry

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Take that, daddy!

Feb 15, 10: Drums

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

They were cutting some drum tracks today in the studio, so I took a few photos and some video clips.

Feb 14, 10: Not Up To Par

Sun, 14 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner hasn't really been eating well for the past few days. His nose has been running a little bit and he hasn't been acting like he's felt great. We're not sure if he's going through teething or what, but we're just ready for him to feel better. Our evening church service was cancelled for tonight, so we just took the opportunity to take things at Turner's pace all day.

Feb 13, 10: V-Day Eve

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Today, Turner and I gave Traci a real "mother's day out" and told her to go shop for a Valentine's gift for herself while we had a guys' day at home. Turner and I had a lot of fun and only a brief screaming meltdown at Target. But nothing we couldn't handle.

My sister had planned to come keep Turner for us this evening so Traci and I could have a date night out. My parents were in town for awhile, so they stopped by before Traci and I had to leave. I think Turner really enjoyed spending time with them. Thanks again to Aunt Boog for babysitting!

Feb 12, 10: Rose

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

I did the obligatory rose thing for Valentine's Day this year. Traci knows I'm not a fan of sending roses on Valentine's Day or other occasions when women expect them, but I know that the women at her office don't regularly receive flowers for these occasions, so it's an easy way for me to get a few extra brownie points.

...and boy do I need them.

Feb 11, 10: Climb

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

It's getting interesting to see how Turner finds new ways to do things he shouldn't be doing, such as climbing on the couch and coffee table. He has recently figured out that he can slide up one of our little ottoman boxes to give himself a little boost up.

Feb 10, 10: MDO Valentine's

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Turner's getting ready to impress the ladies with some Valentine's cards at his MDO tomorrow.

Feb 9, 10: Toy of the Week

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

One of Turner's favorite toys of the week. We've had this since his first birthday but it was still shrinkwrapped because we didn't think he'd enjoy it. When Katie came up last Friday, she wanted to open it so we did. Turner has been playing with it non-stop since then.

Yay for good parenting!

Feb 8, 10: Mo' Snow

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

More snow tonight. It figures that this would happen on Monday night, causing us to have to plan childcare for Turner. My mom actually made the dangerous drive up to Nashville in the snow only to get sick during the night and have to go home without getting to see Turner at all.

Feb 7, 10: Superbowl Party

Sun, 07 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

We had some of our friends up to hang and watch the Superbowl with us. There was some good food, the kids had fun playing with each other, and even a faceoff between Bryan's Droid and James's Blackberry.

We had a great time and we thank everyone for coming. The game itself was pretty good, with the Saints upsetting the Colts.

Feb 6, 10: Hannah

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:00:00 CST

Miss Hannah came to visit us today to get her 1 year photos. She's grown up quite a bit since the last time we did photos. She did a great job and I think we ended up with some very nice photos.
