Truman enjoyed some alone time with Grandmommy and Granddad in Dallas while Paul and I attended a friend's wedding party in Tulsa. It was our first trip alone, and we both kept thinking we had forgotten something (or someone) as we made our way through the airport and onto the plane.
Truman had a fine time, receiving lots of attention and even a few visitors in our absence. Here he's enjoying a bit of sweet potatoes and chicken dinner, a fave solid food. (That's right, Aunt Elizabeth. We still call them "solids.")
Here I am with Brian, my old ND partner in crime, at his and Jason's post-wedding fiesta. Brian's parents hosted a fantastic party for them, and we all met up for a delicious breakfast the next morning before Paul and I flew back to Dallas to pick up T and celebrate Joyce's birthday.
This guy's called the Golden Driller, and apparently he's pretty popular in Tulsa. (I misheard and thought he was called the Golden Gorilla. Don't ask.) We heard about one clever mother who uses him as a bargaining chip with her young son: if he finishes all his chores or behaves himself in a particular situation, he gets to sit on the base of the Golden Driller.
Hmmm, I wonder if the Golden Driller has an Austin cousin?

Granddad, Grandmommy, all visitors, Leslie and Maria thought Truman was truly Mr. Adorable. His smiles will melt your heart.
Grandmommy
I think his Austin cousin is Stevie Ray Vaughan at the lake.
Look at T-Sox's eye's when he's 'hamming it up' in the post below and then look at Al's eyes in the pic with Brian. Same eyes!
Truman to his date in 18 years: "Can I take you out for some solids?"
Very cute! NJ misses Truman, and we don't have that crazy digger here :)
Love,
Aunt Ellen Reilly
