The hardest part of my trip was watching mommy and Granny Pam cry while paying our respects to Great Granny and Papa McInturff's grave site. Mommy tells me about her and we sing her prayer songs and love jingles every night. Great Granny Bea past away on St.Patrick's Day, March 17th 2006. Mommy couldn't go due to doctors rders. So we went to Fayetteville for some closure and to visit mommy's friend Chad and his family. I got to see all kinds of ducks up close and personal. I think they wanted food. Great Papa Mac picked this spot especially for us to visit him often and enjoy the pond with the ducks. I went by my great grandparents house to see the trees mommy helped Great Papa Mac plant when she was a little girl. We also got to see Great Granny Bea's beautiful azaleas...no wonder that is mommy's favorite plant! The azaleas were gorgeous. Then I went over to meet mommy's friend Chad. I tried to play with his son Noah S. Of course, I was a "bully" knocking him over to get to his toys, using him to stand up and stealing his pacifier right out of his mouth. Yep...I haven't got this friend thing down yet...but there is hope for me! We met lots of Cousins and Great Aunt Faye on our way through AR to meet Pops in Jonesboro for the 2nd part of our trip! Thanks Papa Gerry and Granny Pam...it was a good trip. I will see you this summer! I plan on driving that big boat again. In Jackson TN we had a fun time with Aunt Leah visiting. Great Nanny came up from Bolivar to stay a few days...I made her smile and laugh a lot...she said I was "TOOT" this must be a good thing! She also called me sweet and precious a bunch...so I will believe her. More cake, more presents...this is becoming fun! I had my second 1st birthday party on Easter Sunday. We had cake and icecream then hunted Easter eggs. It was fun except when GranLynn tried to make me a lamb. I liked smashing the eggs together but they would crack. I am really into anything that moves that is spherical-like (balls, eggs, cars) and picture books. Mommy says I am gonna be a ball player...we shall see...Cardinals...here I come. Do you think they will need a left handed pitcher when I get big? Yes, I am still dominant with my left hand! I just keep improving on walking...and now I can go the entire length of the living room at GranLynn's house! It's hard to believe I was crawling more than walking just a week ago. I went to visit MY birthplace...there was some guy named Elvis that was born there...signs say it is his birthplace but it is MINE. We had fun with our friends The Dodson's. Mommy's camera wasn't working then...so we don't have any pictures from that visit...so we will wait on Miss Melissa to send us some or post some on Chan's site! We had a long but fun day...topping it off with dinner at the Tupelo Country Club. I had a good time with my Great Aunt Janet, Great Uncle Jack and cousins. (Anna Grant and her parents Brannon & Catherine) She had such cute cheeks, I wanted to "squeeze" them. I couldn't figure out why she didn't have any hair. mmmm...we hope she grows beautiful hair like her mommy! Off to Oxford on LUCKY Friday the 13th to see Great Granddaddy E. He enjoyed spending time with me. I made him chuckle all the time. He even had a wild hair and decided to let me take Millie for a ride. She didn't like it at all...I thought it was funny. Millie would just bark at me. I watched Millie walk in and out of this little door so I thought I would give it a try...Mommy jokes with me about being a dog in a previous life! I spent my time with Great G-daddy E reading books about the ducks, pushing stuff off the table, throwing my cup, playing with my birthday card and chasing Millie. GranLynn was always trying to pose me for pictures and Pops would make funny noises and talk to himself...he was really funny. I love having grandparents that can be goofy with me. Our visit here was short but cherished! Thanks Great Granddaddy E, Great Nanny, Pops and GranLynn we had fun. We even got to spend time with Uncle Andrew driving us to Memphis! He makes me laugh. I hope to see you all soon! Come visit us in DC. All Our Love, Shae and Brinson
