Friends, Family & Launch Sunday

First of all, I must apologize for the drought in blogging.  I have been one busy guy, and all the busyness has not let up in several weeks.  Believe me, I love keeping everyone in the loop, but sometimes it's just hard.  But, now that we are here, let me just give you the inside scoop on the last 5 days of my life. 

It all started on Thursday when I was anticipating the arrival of some of my Florida friends and family.  A group of them came to town to help with some outreach, and serve alongside the team at the official launch of Grace Church!  They arrived on Thursday, and not only was it great to see them, but it was also great to share some Frozen yogurt with them at Sweet CiCis.  After catching up and saying "hello" to everyone, they headed to get some rest and I came home and went to bed as well.  I woke up on Friday morning and Mom, Dad and I went downtown to the Nashville Farmers Market to have lunch with the group. We were also able to catch up our friend Jeremy.  Jeremy pastors the Axis church downtown Nashville. Myself along with some of the other kids on the trip were able to "test drive" Pastor Jeremy's nursery at his church....we loved it!

 It was kind of a nasty day because of rain, but we made the best of it.  Saturday was filled with making some final purchases for the Grace Church cafe, hanging with Mommy and Aunt Denise, attending the evening service at Longhollow, and eating a nice dinner with all of group. 

Mom and Aunt Denise, of course, wanted Mexican food, so I protested in the booth!  I just can't handle Mexican...kinda like my Daddy.

So, Sunday was the big day!  Daddy was out and about, getting it done at the Regal Cinema at Indian Lakes, where Grace Church meets. It was a great day with lots of great people helping, including my friends from Florida. They made all the children very happy, especially me, in the nursery. After a great day at church, we went out for a little lunch and then had to bid our friends good-bye and a safe trip home.

When I came home, I crashed. As a matter of fact, I am still catching up on some sleep. I better run, there's still work to be done, and I've gotta get a nap too!

In the Driver's Seat

Life has been extremely busy over the last couple of weeks.  The weather was super nice last week and I was able to go outside and stroll, run, and kick the soccer ball around a little bit!  I love the beautiful weather and the outdoors....there's nothing like it. But, after about a week of beautiful weather, the cold decided to move back in.  I can't really decide if I think Spring is here or not...pretty confusing. 

Last week I went and met some friends who have come to my church and they had a big bus they let me drive.  I loved sitting in the drivers seat and driving that big "baby." They were great people and I look forward to seeing them again. 

Today, I had another experience that rev'd my motor a little more.  Myself, along with all of my parents Life Group took lunch to one of the local fire departments.  They immediately took me out to the bay area where all the trucks were.  It was awesome, and guess who the driver was....me!  I saw the lights and heard the siren (which wasn't my favorite).  I will definitely take them lunch again as long as they will let me drive the truck. 

As you can see Capt. George hooked me up with the drivers seat.

I even had the chance to check out their heavy duty gear that they wear in a fire.  It was some pretty awesome stuff.  When I left they gave me a fireman hat of my own, and thank goodness it wasn't as heavy as there's!

I had better run.  I'll talk to you soon!  Have a great weekend, and should you need a firefighter just give me a shout.

I'm A BIG Kid Now

I've had alot going on in my house over the last week.  It was a week of much, much celebration and activity in the Peters house.  I love these busy weeks, and I always love a good celebration, especially with some of my favorite people. 
First of all, on Thursday morning my Grandma flew in very early.  She came to visit and join in on the big party!  We spent the day on Thursday doing alot of shopping.  Now, I'm not much of a shopper anymore, however if there's an escalator involved, I'm all about it.  I love riding the escalator, and as a matter of fact, it is my favorite mall activity.  Plus, I always score when I go shopping with Grandma, because she gets me great stuff! That's what Grandmas do, right??

Secondly, we celebrated my parents anniversary on Friday.  FYI- Mom gave Dad some sneaks that I reeeeaaaaaly liked! 
Dad took Mom to this place called the Grand Ole Opry (kinda sounds like an old folks hang out to me).  Grandma and I stayed home and played really hard while Mom and Dad celebrated a quiet night out.  I'm not sure why I wasn't invited?!  They had a great time and so did Grandma and I!

Thirdly, Saturday brought the grandest of all celebrations. It was my birthday!  I turned two on Saturday and my day started out with many presents.  I had presents from so many people, and had a great time opening them, but I saved some to open on Saturday night.  I went to church that night and then went to my favorite place to eat....Chick-fil-a!  I love their indoor playground, and I am one tough cookie going down that big slide.  After playing, I came home and had some cake, opened more presents, and played, played, played.  I ended the night with some skyping with Grammy and Pop-Pop, and then Aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris. It was a great birthday and I'm so thankful for the two happy years of life I have experienced so far.  I received many cards and just want to say a huge "Thank You" to everyone who thought of me on my big day! 

Thanks again for all the love on my BIG day!

A Week of Adventure

It has been one of the busiest weeks of my life. We were going out of town for a week to meet up with some prospective Grace Church partners, and man was it gonna be fun. Prior to leaving I did have some work to take care of.

It was definitely a whirlwind, but alot of fun also.  It all started last Thursday morning when we loaded up the car and took off headed to Virginia.  We arrived in Lynchburg, VA on Thursday night and spent Friday morning there on the campus of Liberty University, catching up with some old friends of my Mom.  Liberty is Mom's alma mater and she said it had done alot of growing since she was there back in the 60's ...oops, I mean the 90's.  We walked all over the campus (because Mom and Dad forgot my wheels), and even met Mr. David Platt after he spoke in convocation that morning. Mom and Dad said that he had recently written a pretty cool book, "Radical"! 

So after we left Lynchburg, we then went to Charlottsville, VA where my cousins Jeff and Brian live.  I also have two cousins there whom I met for the first time, Tyler and Addie. We had lots of fun laughing, eating pizza and we played outside a little bit too!  All in all it was a blast! 

After leaving Charlottsville pretty late we went on to Delaware where we went to my Aunt Chris and Uncle Paul's house.  We didn't arrive till after midnight, and I was a tired puppy!  Our trip included meeting lots of new friends, going to several new nurseries, and catching up with family.  I was able to meet my new cousin Logan, and he was so much fun to watch.  I tried my best to take care of him and see that he was all good (I'll post picts. of Logan & I soon)!  As always, it was great to see Aunt Lisa and Uncle Chris, they are always fun to hang out with! I played alot of peek-a-boo with them and I even sang a few songs for them.  I'm pretty sure they wanted me to keep singing, but I was getting tired.  I ended my trip with alot of play time with Aunt Chris and Uncle Paul.  They were lots of fun to play with and they even gave me a early birthday present.  I snuck into my present early and played with it on my way home, in the car. 

                                         

Thanks to everyone who made our trip such a success.  It was awesome to see you all and we look forward to seeing you soon!  FYI...You can come and visit us in Nashville, ya know?!?!

Love Ya'll

Sweet as Sugar

As most of you know my Daddy has a real sweet tooth.  My Daddy loves dessert, and so do I!  I love anything that is sweet and I could eat alot of it.  Daddy started giving me some of his donut when I was really young, and I loved every minute of it.  So, since Dad's breakfast usually consist of something or everything that is very sweet (Mommy doesn't understand), such as donuts, muffins, etc., I usually get at least one bite of it.  Then, when it is time for a snack at night, here come the sweets again!  So we share Oreos, or chocolate chip cookies alot...

                                    
and some oreo remnants on the teeth!   
                                         
Recently, it has been so cold here in Hendersonville.  I even had to break out my ole' trusty scarf.  Now don't get me wrong, I love the cold weather, I'm just thinking it's a little excessive this year.  Can I get an amen on that?  With all of the cold, there has been alot of snuggling, cuddling, and loving at the Peter's Pad! 

                                      

That's what we've been up to! 
I will touch base with you later with
some other fun happenings in my world.



Peace Out,
Davis
