Haven't posted in a long time, things are going great at the Pitt's. We had a good Thanksgiving with Adam's side of the family. Everyone came to our house to stay for the whole weekend and we had a lot of fun. Our kids loved being able to play with their cousins. Andrew is now about 10 months and on the loose. He's crawling and pulling up on things and in to everything. And I guess we have decided on Andrew. Or the drews. Or D-rews. But I'm guessing he won't go to school and tell his teacher he goes by "the d-rews." Or maybe so. We have are busy getting ready for Christmas here, it's right around the corner! No shopping done what-so-ever!! How exciting!

Pretty sure I forgot even how to post a blog it has been so long since I have last.

Well, we are now a family of 5! Adam posted some pics of new little Andrew already. We aren't sure of what we will be calling him yet. I know, that's sad. We first picked Andrew with the intent of calling him Drew. Then we kept calling him Andrew before he was born. We talked about Andy. I really love Andy. But Andy doesn't seem to flow. Evelyn introduces him as Andy to people but calls him Andrew at home. Levi just drools a lot, but I guess he says Andrew, but mostly just drools. When I talk to him I say Drew and Andrew but when I talk about him, it's Andrew. Adam mostly say's Drew, but sometimes Andrew. I still really like Andy. But again, it just never comes out. So... we have an adorable baby "to be named later."

Andrew Davis Pitt

ANDREW DAVIS PITT, 8 lbs, 10 oz, 21 inches long born February 10, 2010.

Well...

So it has been a long time since I (Adam) have written on this here blog, so bare with me as I try to hash out some of the past events in our lives and then try to update you as to where and what we are going to for now.

For those of you who don't know, Hillary is pregnant again!! She is due sometime the first part of February with our third child. We go back and forth about finding out what the sex of the child is... as of today we think we will find out what it is (ask one of us tomorrow and see if that has changed).

Hillary cut her leg open pretty good and had to get 7 stitches. Now I was told that I had to come up with some really cool story about how she did it, like she was mountains climbing or she got in a fight with 10 of the most vicious ninjas in the world (and lived to tell about it) or that she went swimming with sharks... but to tell you all the truth she was dusting. You heard me... dusting. Like every normal human, we react to circumstances. Hillary was dusting and picked up a really expensive glass bird from Italy and the thing simply broke in two. One piece in her hand and the other fell, so Hillary tried to trap the falling piece with her leg against the table and it cut her wide open. For those of you who know Hillary, you know that she just wiped off the blood and put a piece of duct tape over the wound and just kept working. OK, not really, she started yelling for her mother to come help her, then they both panicked and went to a non-emergency clinic to get it sown up. It gets better. THERE WAS NO ONE THERE TO SOW HER UP!! The first place bandaged her up and sent her somewhere else to get sown up. Quite the long day for her.

Next on the list. Where and what are we going to do in the next few years? For the past couple of years Hillary and I have prayed through and considered moving to (a place I am not supposed to name on the internet... ???) and become M's... (which means foreign field workers), that is not going to happen. We are going to stay here in Memphis where we are very happy and just continue to work at the shop and raise our family here. We loved it here, have some family here, have great friends here, and have a great job that I enjoy doing. So... Memphis it is!

As I mentioned earlier we are expecting our third child. The only problem with that was we did not have a vehicle that could hold 3 car seats. All of that has changed now. Yesterday we went to a local Toyota dealership (http://www.wolfchasetoyota.com/) and got a minivan. We bought a 2005 Toyota Sienna, silver and roomy. Hillary can't stop grinning about it and Evelyn loves her new "ride".

Speaking of Evelyn, she turns 3 Wednesday the 9th. She keeps saying "Daddy, I have a birthday coming over!" instead of a birthday coming up. Levi turns 2 in a month... where has the time gone? They are both healthy and happy and loud. What more could we ask for, right?

I guess that is a wrap for one posting, I hope you enjoyed!

Boston!!!

Last Friday, Adam's parents kept our kids and we headed to Boston for the weekend! Our friend Matt went with us and we had a great time. I have to confess that we did quite a bit of extra walking due to my lack of planning... but hey- I never once made the claim that when we get there I would know what to do next. I just got us to the airport and got our hotel and tickets online. We took the subway from the airport to the hotel. I will say that I knew we would at least be doing that b/c it was much less expensive than a taxi and the internet said it wouldn't take that long. I just didn't pay attention or look hard enough to find out where we got off on the subway. Our hotel was Holiday Inn Brookline. There were 2 different Brookline stops on the subway so I figured that that would be in the area or on the same street. Well, when we got off we looked around a little bit and I finally asked a police officer who instructed me that it was about a 15-20 minute walk in a different direction. We only had backpacks and we were excited to be in the city, so we didn't mind the walk. But then about halfway it started raining! We finally found the hotel and got to our room. It was early, but we decided to go ahead and start making our way to Fenway Park and stop and eat lunch on the way. It was supposed to clear up that night and be pretty weather, but when we left it was still yucky outside so we decided NOT to bring our new camera to the game. (what were we thinking?!!) Actually, we thought that the next day that we would take a tour of the park and we could take pictures then. Stupid. We didn't make it back in time the next day and so we have NO pictures of the ball game- the main reason we went to Boston, to see the Red Sox play!! Matt took a few pictures of us at the game to prove we were there with his camera, but still- I wished for my camera. It turned out to be perfect weather! We were about 2 seats away from crying over not being able to see the field. We sat in the infield grandstand about 5 rows up from a huge supporting beam. It ALMOST blocked our view of the batter and pitcher, but thankfully we could see what was happening. Sox won 3-1. Saturday we figured out where we were and got on the subway and did the walking tour of the Freedom Trail and saw a lot of the historical part of Boston. It is such an awesome and pretty city. I loved it. If I had to live in a big city, Boston would for sure be it.

river weekend

Hannah, Evelyn and Adam

Hannah, Adam, Levi and Evelyn on the screamer

Levi and Papa

Last weekend we went camping at the TN river. This was the 3rd year in a row we've done this with my family. We usually do it on Memorial Day weekend but everyone was busy that weekend, so- we made our own long weekend last week. It was a lot of fun. The first day was cloudy and cool. I'm glad that I randomly packed a jacket for myself. We sat around the campfire with coffee most of the day. The next day it was sunny and hot, good swimming weather. Levi and Evelyn did not want to get in the water! They rode the screamer a couple of times and Evelyn sat on a raft w/ Adam once, but other than that- you'd think we were tourturing them if we got them close to the water. Evelyn actually fell SOUND asleep on one screamer ride. It was pretty funny. Evelyn slept in the tent with me and Adam and Levi slept in the trailer with Mimi and Papa but I think that if there hadn't been so much going on, he would have been fine in the tent. I'm excited that they've made it to a fine camping age.
