The Greenline

There is this new biking trail through downtown called the Greater Memphis Greenline. They built it over existing railroad tracks in hopes to get a few Memphians off the couch and outside. They even rent electric bikes so that people who don't want to exercise can still enjoy it. We tried it out and it was exciting to see how busy it was. Lots of runners, walkers and bikers. We want to ride the whole thing someday. It will eventually go all the way to the Mississippi.






I like these guys. I think this picture is after a painting at the kitchen table and they both ended up on the table. I was looking at them at eye level just thinking - I love these two crazies.
Lucy is really into putting things on. Shoes, hats, glasses, necklaces.


And this video gets me ta gigglin every single time I watch it.

Music Appreciation

Luke likes to play with the tempo and volume of every song. After giving all a chance, he usually settles on loud and fast for most songs. For some reason he spent one morning behind pillows listening to songs on our ipod. Learning about "mean" songs and happy and sad songs.

Lucy's First Steps

Lucy took her very first steps on Wednesday February 16th at 2:15 pm.

So far she is a lot more cautious than Luke was. So, she seems to learn things without much pain. (like going up and down stairs) But she takes her time. This was two weeks ago and she's taken a few more steps but no walking yet.

Joy School Tagalong

My friend Lezlie was in charge of her Joy School today and was doing it at the Memphis Botanic Gardens. We got to be guests for the day and it was so fun. So, this is for the Joy School parents: (sorry, this is so random and not the best pictures - but ... it's just for the heck of it.)

the day luke learned his lesson







Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
