Today we leave to pack our house in L-ville and officially move to Milan, Tn. !'m not gonna lie, still very bittersweet. Being here in Milan for the last few weeks have been different and I am very lonely in the friend department. I miss my girls terribly and pray for them everyday. There is still a very big hole in my heart for each of them and I know God will provide me great Godly friends in Milan as well, but those friendships take time. (something I am not very good at) I am ready, however, to be completely and totally in one city. (granted the majority of our stuff will still be in storage, but atleast all still here) It will be a long night of driving and a busy day of packing (and going to the md-taking D one last time-has a TON of snot and I gotta make sure he doesn't have another ear infection!) but my wonderful sis and bro in law are going to help us and I know we will manage. Walker, Laura and Nick will head home after the packing is done and D and I will stay awhile with Mia and Pops. I have one last thing to finish up with the girl I am mentoring (Yay Ashley!) and gotta snag some friend time in for Davis and mommy! D will be turning two in one week so we will also sneak in a prebirthday party.
I sure do love some things about this town: can get ANYWHERE in 5 mins or less, quaint, walker comes home everyday for lunch, walker doesn't travel, living this close to so much family (we're missing our mia and pops though), being exposed to different things, getting to go to the gym nearly everyday, having a wonderful library with a GREAT story hour, enjoying the new park, etc.
I am still praying for my dad to get a job (hopefully somewhere near here!), Charlotte's surgery to go well, our house selling to be complete and our new house buying to be complete, Davis to get used to the environment here (he walks around with his eyes closed because of his allergies!), Walker and I to survive the craziness of moving and buying a home, D to survive house looking and moving again, and to meet, develop and strengthen relationships with Godly women whom I can call friends. (you know the kind you can call about ANYTHING!)
and then came out at almost 10lbs! 
and only a year later... 
and just look how much a year can change YOU! 
Davis Walker Dow Wellington you complete us! 
Next we headed to Chuckie Cheese. It was just a davis and mommy experience and we enjoyed ourselves. We got to get all the extra tickets for being the first ones there and D decided to cash in some of his tickets for a balloon and cotton candy. He loved the balloon, but wouldn't try the candy! 
After Chuckie Cheese we decided to grab some much needed groceries. Getting groceries has turned into a whole new adventure lately. Not only did Davis name people he saw, men, women and women whom he called men, but he also found a few grannies. So glad the wiser women enjoyed their name and loved on him anyway. When it was time to check out D decided he needed my credit card. MISTAKE! He played with it so well he stuck it in the coupon holder which they no longer use! I explained to the sweet cashier what he did and she called someone over to help. The lady explained they no longer had keys to the opening because they don't use them anymore. AHHH, you've got to be kidding me! I asked them to call the manager to see if he had any ideas. He decided to break into it (I think he could tell I was a bit on edge), but before he could begin the break in a man walked up who was installing new scanners. He quickly showed them how to open in up and get inside the box. VICTORY! SO I got my card back and they didn't have to break their equipment. They all laughed when I told them it was D's b-day and me I couldn't get mad I needed to just laugh! D and I talked about it all the way home. He kept telling me "card in hole," "mommy funny!" Oh well, it is his birthday right? Davis is growing and changing as any typical two year old. He is mr independant, mr picky and mr i dare you to not play with me! He adores his family and loves to play trucks. He loves to entertain and loves talking about how funny and how big of a mess he is. For example, yesterday while I was unpacking the car Davis came up to me and said "momma dirt" and showed me his hand. I shrieked to myself because he was covered in poop. Literally from his head to his shoes. He is on another antibiotic and we got the side effects to go along with it! I quickly explained to him it was poop and we would clean him up, but he was adamant that ho it was dirt and not poop! He dropped it as soon as I told him he could have a bath and he was content! He continues to blow my mind with his memory-never forgets a thing and knows where people live and doesn't forget when they are coming to see him-he will wake up from a nap and say "mimi here!" if I have told him she is coming when he wakes up! He is a bit shy to strangers, however some times he will surprise me and really hit it off with people in public places. He is very honest and will tell you if he did something wrong-totally told the childcare worker he knocked a toddler down. He is very sweet-totally picked up the toddler and said sorry! He is also very polite he tells people please and thank you-the gym workers tell me his manners are the BEST! He is having moments of the terrible twos though, will fuss like a baby, choose one thing but want another, and be just down right whiny-sound like anyone? haha! We are gonna embrace the twos and enjoy every minute of this year! Happy birthday Davis Walker Dow Wellington!
