Grady in the media

Due to the terrible tornado outbreak and the coincidental timing of one of my research papers being published this month, I have been bombarded by folks wanting interviews. Here are some of the highlights:

USA Today
Associated Press
Wall Street Journal
Clarion Ledger
Christian Science Monitor
Washington Post
Agence France-Presse

...along with several hate-filled blogs and websites run by climate change extremists (on both ends of the spectrum).

Erica! in February!

Because I have a really slow laptop at home, and I'm not that good at Flickr, I am just now posting my friend Erica's pictures from her visit in February, when she escaped the wintry mix of Chicago for Mississippi. There was snow on the ground when she got here, followed by some sunny days of upper 60's - if I remember correctly. Brooks was NOT sleeping through the night at that time, so many things are fuzzy - not to be confused with Erica's cute hubby Fuzzy.

We had the perfect lunch at Little Dooey BBQ, a Starkville original. Pictured here: pulled pork, BBQ sausage, fried pickles, potato salad, and some buttery bread. MM-MMM!!

Saturday morning, Grady kept both kids so we could get pedicures and go shopping!

Sunday, we bundled up the kiddos for a picnic at the wildlife refuge.

Brooks Bear, ready to go!

It was a beautiful day to be out and about.

One of the first pictures of Brooks smiling!

Gettin' tickled...

I will do some silly stuff for this little man's giggles!

The fam at the observation deck, where on warmer days, we've seen alligators float by! Thanks for the pics Erica!

Random Precious Things from My Phone

Itty bitty Brooks when I had to go into work during those first few weeks to cut checks.

Two tired dudes.

Bundled up for a very cold day!

Christmas morning? Nope, that's Delia's haul from her school Valentine's Day party.

Delia has started a 3 and 4-year-old ballet and tap class. She loves being a ballerina!

Brooks with the preacher's granddaughter Emma. They were born barely a week apart.

One of the many birthday parties we've been to in the past few weeks. This one was Delia's friend Will!

Hallelujah

Brooks is sleeping through the night.
