Aquarium

With the apartment we are living in being smaller than we are used to, we try to be out as much as possible. And the small fact that Levi is not napping UNLESS he falls asleep in the car, and then we can carry him inside. That means our goal has been to be gone right before/during lunch and then head home right when he's getting tired. Out of the past 4 days he has fallen asleep in the car and then slept for at least an hour once we carry him inside! The problem is now I am working (a lot this week) so I'm not sure how he is going to do sleeping at all new houses. We shall see.

Katherine texted me last week asking me to go to a yard sale with her this Saturday morning at her church (she was in the youth group at our Bham church and now goes to college near Chattanooga). So we met that morning and spent some great time together! As we were walking out to her car it started snowing hard (for the South). Matt and Levi came to pick Noah and I up and, since it is the South, we figured the snow would not be a big deal. We drove to the Tennessee Aquarium in downtown Chattanooga. By the time we got there, the snow was over an inch thick and covered everything. We bundled up and headed inside anyways, hoping it would be completely empty. We were wrong, but we still had a great time! We went ahead and  got a year membership, since this will be a great place for Levi to run all of his energy out.

Matt and Levi out in the snow in front of the aquarium and Noah and I all bundled up in line for our tickets. I actually bought the backpack at that yard sale for $5! Perfect timing!

Petting sturgeon. Well, Levi tried. 

A butterfly landed on Daddy!

He was so excited about the penguins

We are really liking Daddy's new schedule and all of this quality time we get with him!

So, all in all we had a great time and will be back soon. As soon as my training is over and I am working closer to 20 hours per week instead of over 40!
