Tatem's First Visit to the Midwest

Natalie & Tatem arrived on Tuesday to hang out with us for a few days.

Can I just tell you...THIS LITTLE GIRL IS A CUTIE!

She has the most contagious giggle, greatest smile and eyes of unusually large size!

Dining out, BBQing at home, a walk in the park at Olde Town Gahanna (the town where we live), Farmer's Market and a trip to the mall...
I loved the way random strangers would compliment us on how cute our baby was. And of course, I graciously accepted every compliment with a very humble "thank you"...sometimes before they even had the chance to give the compliment!

We did receive one compliment that baffled me. As we were walking through the Farmer's Market, a lady sweeping around her vegetable stand looked up from her broom and dustpan and simply said, "nice baby".
WHAT!? What do mean "nice baby"? Isn't that something you'd say about a car...or shoes...or landscaping? "Nice car!" "Nice shoes!" "Nice baby!" Strange compliment, but I'll take it!


I know people always say babies grow so fast and change everyday but this is ridiculous!

She's only been here for 3 days and Tatem's mullet is out of control, yet very stylish for a 4-month-old. It must be something in the Midwest water.

I must say, she does bear a striking resemblence to her father. Not so much in the eyes, mostly the hair.

Thanks for your visit Natalie & Tatem!


Next destination: Evansville, Kentucky! or, wait...Evansville, Illinois!...Tennessee? Whatever. We leave bright and early for a roadtrip to visit Lindsay, Keith and Hannah. I guess we should probably get directions first.
