See I told you that Anderson had presidential qualities. If you have no idea who said these infamous words. It was our 26th president, Teddy Roosevelt of course(one of my favorites, his cousin Franklin was my very favorite). This saying also was referred to as Big Stick Diplomacy(pertaining specifically to the Monroe Doctrine) and it was the idea of negotiating peacefully, simultaneously threatening with the “big stick”, or the military.
This stuff thrills me...but I know those of you who are history haters are totally bored to death so.....
Taking a break from our packing, Anderson and I found a great park today in Montgomery(too bad we leave in 5 days). OOPS!!!!!!! Didn't see this until after we were done...
Anderson, being a total boy, found a big stick right away and proceeded to hit all things in his way. He loves this kind of thing. Some mommas would take this stick away afraid he might fall on it(probably was a good idea,now that I think about it), but I think that it's good for him to be a good old fashioned boy and get dirty sometimes! Ha!
We saw the ducks, I have never seen white ones before. Anderson could have cared less...he had his stick and was busy digging in ant beds with it. :)
He even held hands with me, so I took a picture because he does not like to hold anybody's hands while he walks.
The next time I talk to you, I'll be coming to you live from Grand Prairie, Texas! We leave on Sunday!! Pretty excited! Please pray for a safe trip for our family as we make our way out west and that my mom and I don't lose it when we have to say goodbye.
oh and uh... ROLL TIDE!!
See you soon!! ;)

Congratulations and good luck! It is hard being far away from your Mom but you soon appreciate and cherish all the time you will spend in the future. I personally love the last picture of Anderson the best. Roll Tide!
Yes, let that boy get dirty, but for goodness sake don't mess up the smocked outfit! HEHE. Anderson is so cute! I can't wait to hear about your adventure. I know your mom is so excited for you but sad at the same time. Remember when you used to make round trips from Mobile to Dothan in 24 hours because you missed her? I am sure Adam had a little something to do with the trips as well.
Boys will be boys....they are so much fun. Good luck with the move!!
