Chick-a-Lay

So I like Chick-Fil-A. And so does Rock, except he calls it 'Chick-a-Lay.' But I'm beginning to worry that perhaps I've taken him there a few too many times in his young life.
The other day we were looking at his flashcards and when I showed him the one pictured above and said "What do cows eat?" he responded "CHICK-A-LAY!"

Then, later that evening while playing cars and trucks with Daddy, Fix grabbed the lid of our cooler to be a 'building' for the cars to drive to. Rock excitedly exclaimed "Cars go to Chick-a-Lay!" Perhaps I should try a different venue next time we're at the food court.

Cars

Although he does play with Baby Addy occasionally, he prefers cars (and trucks and tractors and trains). He usually has at least one matchbox car in each hand at all times.
Lately, he and Fix have been spending a lot of time playing "cars and trucks" (as Rock calls it). They set up all Rock's blocks as 'buildings' and drive the cars (and trucks and trailors and trains) in and around them.
Fix is much better at playing this game than I am. In fact, if I were asked to give it a name, I would call it "Boring Time." But they love it and I love to watch them play together. Rock's imagination is blossoming before our eyes!

Doll

Rock recently took this baby doll from my mom's house (with her permission!). He calls her Baby Addy which I think is incredibly sweet.

Here they were 'taking a nap' together on the couch. I assume this is one of those pictures he will be mortified of in the future. That's why I share it with all of you.

Great Picture

In case you aren't on Facebook (and why aren't you on Facebook?!), here's my new favorite picture of the three of us. It's from last Monday when we went to the Baltimore Aquarium with one of my roommates from college and her family. But more pictures of that later...

Clic Sisters Reunion

Since Joanna (laughing hysterically above center) was back in town, I hosted a little reunion of my bestest friends from back in high school. Although I'm not quite sure why, we used to call ourselves the Clic Sisters.
We all went to Wallace, where we created more than our fair share of mischief. I wish we all lived closer so we could keep it up.
Since our pictures were pretty boring Fix asked us all to act out the first letter of our name. From left to right, it's Annie (good "A"), Rachel (bad "R"), Joanna (doesn't start with an "A" -- perhaps she misunderstood the assignment or perhaps she wanted to exclude me as the only non-A), Alisha (is an architect so her artsy "A" was done with her whole body), and Anna (very YMCA-ish "A"). Oh man how these ladies made/make me smile!

Baby Zac

While we are certain that Rock was fond of Baby Zac...

We are not quite sure what this grin is all about.
