Check it out...

...this is my gorge fam at Joe's Crab Shack. Out of all the hip, fabulous places in Nashville that my dad could have chosen to have his birthday dinner at, he chose Joe's. Walden, Mister Six-Five, sticks out like a sore thumb. My tall little hubband...isn't he cute?? That gray blob over our heads is the famous Joe's shark. Max was afraid to touch it and kept trying to hide from it during dinner. (Poor Max, our table was practically right under the shark's tail...) I suggest that you not get the lobster at the Franklin Joe's Crab Shack. Jen, Maia, and I all had the lobster tail and mine was tough, while Jen's and Maia's took for-ev-er to come out. We were practically through eating when their lobster came out. According to Jen, Outback has great lobster. It's been awhile since I had great seafood. The last time I remember having a great fishy meal, we were in South Carolina at the beach. Which reminds me...

And now one of my favorite pictures from Myrtle Beach. I love this picture, just because it really shows that father-son relationship that Max and Walden have. Walden is such a great dad...not that I had any doubt. Max just loved playing in the sand. He liked to sit right at the surf and dig holes in the sand, just letting the waves wash over him. He is such a sweet boy! I cannot believe that he'll be fourteen months tomorrow...it seems like he just turned six months...then a year! Good grief...he's growing up so fast. He's so independent now compared to just a few months ago -- he's walking, talking, saying all kinds of things, even letting us know exactly what he wants. He is so smart...of course, I am pretty biased, but what are mothers for? It's hard to believe that just two years ago, I dreaded his presence, and now I can't breathe without him. My son...

P.S. Isn't my hubband a hunk!!
