Spring Break




Wow! The Ratliff family was quite busy during Spring Break. At first, we thought the weather wasn't going to be good - it rained the first 3 days! But, by Tuesday, the weather was great. John, me, and Foster enjoyed being together.

John built Foster a great swing set and we have utilized it every day and even invited the neighbors over too! We were able to visit with friends and family, eat lots of home cooked meals, take naps, get organized, and of course... play, play, play. Really there wasn't much time for shopping, but we did sneak a few opportunities in.

John and I did get to catch up on some movie watching - after Foster was in bed! Foster inherited two new teeth over spring break and two more on showing signs of entering soon! He now has four on the bottom and two on top - the two coming soon with join the others on top.

John got to go on his annual Bristol trip with his friend Ed, which left me and Foster at the house from Friday until Monday all by ourselves. We had a good time and played outside a lot! We even went to a petting zoo - the barnyard in Tuscaloosa. We went with our great friends Terri and Jackson. We did get lost trying to get there, but once we were there is was loads of fun. Except------ Foster was bitten by a turkey! Foster leaned his hand on the fence and the turkey stuck his head through and tried to gobble up Foster's fingers. I had to reach in and pull him away. It was terribly scary! I was more scared than Foster. All in all, it was a load of fun, but next time we will know to stay away from the turkey. Miss Terri warned the turkey that it was turkey season and that we might have to serve some turkey at Thanksgiving :) Foster and Jackson got to pet Llama's, bunny rabbits, baby goats, sheep, and little chicks. We will certainly go back one day soon.
