Our little monster is 2!!!!

Some days it is almost impossible to believe that we have a two year old. We went home for my 10 year high school reunion and to celebrate Porter's birthday with family. We enjoyed a nice picnic at Swan Lake with Yaya and Grandpa and Gama Gam. Then we went to "The Country" to celebrate with Nana, Grandaddy, Heath, Lisa, Johnny, and Katie too. Porter had a blast celebrating and opening presents. Last weekend we celebrated here in Greenville with some of Porter's friends. Porter loves trains so he wanted all of his friends to be able to go for a ride on George the Train. Here are some pictures of Porter's parties.

Porter was a little scared of the loud horn.

Porter and Friends

This is going to be a short post. It took a while for the pictures to upload today for some reason. Anyway, here are some updated pictures of Porter. We went to Homecoming at Clemson and Porter loved playing with his friends and looking at the floats. We went to Orangeburg this past weekend to see our cousin, Katie in homecoming, but didn't get any pictures. Boo! Nana got some for us, though. Hopefully, we can download some of hers. We met Yaya, Grandpa, Uncle Richard, and Gama Gram on Saturday for a Fall Festival in Columbia. So good to see them and Porter had a great time on the tractors! On Sunday, we went to pick out a pumpkin for our house. Porter ran all over the pumpkin patch and wanted to take all of the pumpkins home:)

My New Cast

Here are some pictures of Porter with his cast. He is very proud of it. "It's Blue." He picked the color out all by himself. He routinely holds up his arm and says "Now take it off" and "It itches". Hopefully he will get a little more used to it. I have included some videos of him singing and chasing a cat. He is too cute.

Porter's little accident

Our sweet Porter had a little accident last night. He was trying to throw a ball up the stairs and when the ball came back down, so did Porter. Thankfully, he had only climbed one stair, but he hit the ground hard enough to fracture his little arm. We called the doctor this morning and they said we should probably take him to the emergency room. So, we spent most of the morning in the emergency room. They did an xray and now Porter has a little splint. He is going to have to have a cast which he will have to wear for at least 4 weeks. Please pray for Porter:) Here's a little video of Porter telling John what happened.

Porter being silly

You have to turn the volume way up on this.

Take me out to the...

So last night we went on a little outing with some friends to Fluor Field to watch a little baseball. We shot a little video on the way there. Porter was very excited, or so we thought.

Porter was a real trooper and braved the heat until almost 9. He even got a free hot dog and chips, which he devoured (which we think resulted in an upset stomach making for a long night).


Fluor Field is a not quite exact replica of Fenway which makes it pretty cool.

Summer Update

Porter is growing so fast and talking so much. I was changing his diaper a week or so ago and he looked up at me and said "hug" and so I gave him a hug. Then he looked right into my eyes and said, without me asking him to, "I luv you". My heart just melted. His new favorite song is "Read your bible, pray everyday" and he says grow, grow grow. It's so cute! Enjoy the pictures:)
