Eastern Shore Christmas

Yum, Sushi!

While in Charlottesville, we took Dickinson out to his first sushi restaurant. He loved the stars on the ceiling.

After dinner we went on a wonderful tour of the Christmas lights in Charlottesville.

December Pics

Didn't want Dickinson to be cold!

Caught in the act!!! In the next picture you can see how sorry they both are.

Oh, no- Santa left an elf behind!

A Day with Dickinson and Lucia

Lucia came over today to play with Dickinson on Thursday, but as you can see Shackelford was much more amusing to her. She LOVES that dog.




Dickinson and Lucia hung out upstairs. Lucia was very demanding of camera time- wonder who she gets that from ...

Native Reindeer Sighted!!

Thanks to Grandmom Tayloe, Dickinson and Lucia got to be reindeer today! You can tell by their faces how much they enjoyed it!

Make sure took look for both of them in the sky this Christmas Eve!

Thornton, Eva, and I took Dickinson to see Santa and Mrs. Clause this weekend at Maplewood Gardens. It was COLD and WINDY!

Can't take him anywhere...

Turkey Day

An Eastern Shore Weekend

On Sunday Eva's dad flew to the Eastern Shore, so we took Dickinson to the airport in Wierwood to see lots of planes!

We went to Bill and Robyn's for a wonderful seaside oyster roast. Dickinson got to meet his new friend, Jackson!
Thornton met us at Don Valerio's for lunch on Sunday.

Lucky us got a visit from Eva this weekend. Good thing since Dickinson has been asking for her for weeks now.

Visit to Vaucluse

On Wednesday Dickinson and I spent the day with Errin and Lucia. After a tasty Yuk-Yuk's sub we took a long walk and stuck our fingers in the Chesapeake Bay. It was a beautiful, warm day for November!

Classy little fellow, isn't he?

"I told that crazy, old Sullivan woman that I am NOT into pink!"

The Shed

The shed finally arrived!
Has Thornton shrunk??? No- that dude is tall!

Cute on Tuesday Morning

A happy boy and his frog.

Uncle Bill

We had a visit this weekend from Uncle Bill.

Thornton spent most of the weekend planting more trees, but he did stop to grill up a few steaks for all of us.

Dickinson took a nap outstide in his stroller while we watched his dad plant trees. Brrrrrr.
A new milestone for Dickinson- Thornton made him feed a rice cake to sweet Shackelford!

Garden Club Ladies

We had a visit this week from Grandmom Tayloe and her pal Sue. They stayed here before venturing on to a few tours of the Shore.

They came with many gifts, including a batman/superman cape and those cute crab shoes.

Sue got a true Eastern Shore experience with a dinner at Yuk-Yuk's, while the Watson grandparents hung out with Dickinson. We would have taken him with us, but are trying to preserve the little boy's lungs as long as possible.
