A quick visit from Nana and Papa Dodd

We had a great time with Nana and Papa Dodd -

Andi LOVED all of the attention. Come again soon!!!

Aunt Kristen also stoped by for a quick visit and tucked Andi in bed --

but not without her bedtime story :)

Early Morning Duck Calls

Well, the other day I was laying in bed when I had this dream that there was a duck in my house. I kept hearing it quack really loud. After a while I thought "Hmm, that duck sounds real", I immediately opened my eyes, sat up really fast, and excitedly shouted "we have ducks". I then proceeded to throw off the covers and run into the living room towards the back door. Sure enough there was Mr. and Mrs. Duck in my pool swimming around enjoying the crisp morning air. YIPPEE! I felt like a child discovering Santa for the first time. I was so excited to have 'wildlife' in my backyard! So what if they were 25 lb lake fed ducks that live in the middle of Dallas and hop pools. Today, they were in my pool and I felt special!

So I forced Ryan, Mr. Sound Sleeper Dodd, to get out of bed to sneak up on them. I tried to take some pictures but after all it was 5AM, freezing, and way too dark. I hoped they would be there at 7 so we could show Andi our new guests, but sadly they moved on. Maybe they'll make a return visit.
