A Day in Clemson

Today we went to the campus of Clemson University to see all of the orange we could...and we did. Jake had a great time and (for now) is talking all about the Clemson Tigers.
First we went to the football stadium...Then went to the baseball stadium...and even got to run around on the field...

After site seeing on campus we went to the 'Clemson' store to see what we could buy. Since we already have a lot of Clemson toys, we settled for this musical football.

A prayer for baby Dylan

Last Thursday, our neighbor, Dylan Stanberry (3 months) was admitted to Richland Children's Hospital due to his home monitor going off 4 times within 30 minutes. Tons of tests were done to see why his heart rate was so low and why he stopped breathing. The outcome of everything showed that he had a seizure or an episode with reflux or maybe even a combo of the two. He came home Monday but still has on a monitor and will probably be on it for a while.

Please keep the Stanberry and Roberts family in your prayers!

AND


TARA IS PREGNANT!! This was the hardest secret to keep because it was a real secret. But we did it and now we can tell everybody. This is such exciting news and can't wait to go through this journey with her. Tara always laughs when I tell her crazy/embarrasing/gross/messy/expensive stories and I can not wait for it to be her turn!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TARA AND CLINT!

BASEBALL

Jake has gotten very interested in Baseball so we took him to the store to pick out his own bat (he already has a glove). While we were looking around he got real attached to the helmet but I was lucky enough that he got distracted before it was time to pay for it (imagine that in Toys R Us!)
