Brooks rang a bell for the children’s Christmas music service this year at church. It was a lot of fun for him. He loved his red bell and knew he had to wait to ring it. Not a small feat for a two year old.
We were/are quite proud of our little man.

Ice Ice Baby
We had some investment friends give us some tickets to ICE at Opry Mills this week. All we had to do was watch a short sales video. ICE is cool, literally & figuratively. Brooks walking around was our highlight and especially the full size parka he had to wear.
Family Reunion 2011 & Young Reception
We have had a whirlwind of a weekend going down the grandpa’s farm for the Richardson family reunion. We got down for the fish fry which was held a few hours earlier due to some important football game, the result of which we will not discuss here. Good times hanging with the family. Skipped the actual reunion part to make it to our friend Davey’s Alabama wedding reception. It was good to meet his wife Lindsey again (met her a few years back when they were dating while we were both in Dallas). She looked great and and Davey looked much like Davey should. The kiddos had a blast playing together. A few photos:

Jackson Orchard
Today we spent the day at Jackson Orchard with a few close friends & their children, who happen to be close friends with Brooks. We had a great time playing on their playground area, petting & feeding various animals (Brooks liked the baby pigs), picking a pumpkin, slurping down some apple cider slushy (dad went for seconds), running from a rain storm, chasing down quick children, and having an overall good time.
Day at the Aquarium
We spent the day with some of our friends who have kids the same age as Brooks (they’d be our friends regardless of, it is just easier) on a road trip to the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. We saw lots of cool fish, pet some stingrays, searched for some butterflies and more. We then played outside & walked across the pedestrian bridge to Coolidge Park to rid the Carousel & play in the grass some more. A little dinner after the walk back & some dancing to the music on the river and we were headed home… Exhausted..
