Savannah

It had been far too long since we took a fun weekend trip, and our time in the Southeast is quickly getting away from us, so we decided we'd make the short 6 hour drive to Savannah. It's a beautiful city, there is a substantial portion of downtown that has been preserved as a National Historic District. It's pretty awesome. I wish we could have visited once everything is in full bloom, I'm sure it'll be even more stunning. Anyway, we wandered around town, had dinner on the river, and on Saturday, we had lunch at The Lady and Sons (celebrity chef Paula Deen's restaurant). Oh, and most importantly for Hailey, the hotel had a pool and she got to play in the water for a couple of hours. All in all, a great trip.

THUD

I'm sitting in class this morning, and I get a text/picture message from Lindsay:

While Lindsay was in the shower this morning, she heard a very loud THUD. Hailey had climbed up my dresser and it had toppled over. The TV had fallen to the floor (the origin of the THUD) and...well you can see the rest of the carnage. When Lindsay ran in the room (shampoo still in her hair) she asked Hailey what happened. Hailey was crying and repeating, "I go to timeout". She ran to her room and put herself in timeout. Poor little thing! Of course Lindsay wasn't going to punish her, but she's such a sweet, obedient little girl she was more worried about being naughty than the cut on her hand. Once she got a Barbie band-aid on her hand, everything was all better! In the end, Blake and Hailey are both safe, and Hailey has learned not to climb on the dressers anymore.
