Max 's First Big Day with Nana and BigE

We started this Valentine's Day, Feb. 14, 2008 by sharing gifts. These are Karen's roses. Evan received tasty chocolate dipped strawberries. Max slept until about 6:45 a.m., waking up just in time to say "Hi" to the Seminary kids.


Max and Nana play a few games before breakfast.


No trip to Tyler is complete without tossing a few acorns in the pool.


Max helps BigE construct the new pool safety fence. Max loved drilling screw holes in wood.


We take a trip to Azalea Trails. Grandma Roma, Max and Karen are all dressed up in their best Valentine's Day red!!!


Everyone enjoyed lunch in the park at Brookshire's Museum. Max loved the museum animals and called most of them by name - Bear - Lion - Zebra - Turtle - he really knows his animals. But, Max had the most fun after lunch on the swings and merry-go-round.


Evan finishes the new pool safety fence. We'll put it up when kids come to visit. And when they're gone we'll store it neatly under the deck.


Max's first big day is almost over. Max lengthens his bath time by playing a few water games. "Watch Out BigE - You're Next!"


Chris and Sarah call from California just as Max climbs out of the tub. Max tells his parents all about his big day. Certainly we had enough fun to try it again tomorrow.


It is 7:10 p.m. and the first big day is over. Nana reads a final bedtime story. A very tired Max rubs his ear with his blanket. Definitely "staying over" is GREAT!
