Memphis More

I had a few more things to post on from Memphis. We had so much fun at the zoo we went back the day before we left. Ollie LOVED the giraffes. He has a wind up stuffed giraffe he sleeps with every night that plays twinkle twinkle so i like to think that's why he loved them, but he probably doesn't recognize they are the same animal...

We tried to take a picture of him with the giraffes but he would NOT turn around. This is like the grossest picture ever of me, but it cracked me up.

We then went to Elmwood Cemetary which was way creepy and awesome and finding it was almost the best part. It was just at some dead end behind a ghetto neighborhood and train tracks and warehouses. Weird.

We made donuts, and they turned out mostly good. We discovered a bit too late that we had the oil too hot at the end and they weren't cooked all the way through. Doughy donuts are really gross. But the first half of the batch were good.

Finally, the best part of the trip was watching Millie and Ollie play together. Millie is almost 2 and although there were a couple sharing issues and a couple issues with Ollie throwing things and getting scolded by Millie, they were so cute together! He would just stare at her and get all happy when he saw her. She wanted to wear "the baby Ollie's shirt" so she ended up wearing one of his jackets as a shirt one night.

* Note Millie's shirt/jacket is "the baby ollie's".

** Also note the baby, Emma Jean, is 1 month younger than Ollie....as an old southern man informed me about Ollie "That is a FAT baby". Our "little" guy tends to dwarf others his age...

***Also note, this is at Emma Jean's house, aka, Josh and Valerie Miller's. They are some friends from college and live right down the street from Whit. It was fun to see them again too!!

These are their last morning pics. I hope they remember each other and get to be even better friends as they get older!

Kiss good-bye!
