Hi all,
We have been VERY BUSY since our last blog (a whole month ago- where does the time go??). I can't believe I never even posted pictures of Trick or Treating? I promise to include some of those this post. Here is what's been happening with us...
Hadley is now 2 1/2 months old, she went two weeks ago for her 2 month appointment and she is a whopping 11 lbs- she is getting SO big. We go back to the doc tomorrow for more shots (I didn't let them give her all SIX at the last visit) and I get to see if she is even bigger. She is rapidly growing out of all her 3 month clothes already and I just got her out of the newborn sized ones a couple of weeks ago! She is sweet as sweet can be! The best baby! She is smiling all the time and cooing at us- she is a joy!
Sarah Kate is enoying being a big sister still and has been loving this Fall activities. We went trick or treating with Davis and Alexis like we have the last 2 years and this year Grammy come too- it was a blast as usual! November was packed full of fun. SK's new favorite thing is to play in the leaves. Daddy will rack up a huge pile and she will play all day. We've had lot of fun in the yard. This past weekend Grammy came down to take us to the Nutcracker (a new Holiday tradition). SK loved it again this year and wants to go back, so we may be going to Dalton to see that one too. She wants to be the Sugar Plum Fairy (just like my child to aim big!) maybe one day she will be (or not). We also had a fun school expereince- we got Spot the Dog finally! Spot is the class stuffed dog that all the kids get to take home for a week. Since we got Spot the week before Thanksgiving break we got him during the break too- Spot went everywhere we did...the Aquarium, the Zoo, to Grammy's, to the movies, to the park, to bed with SK each night, etc... (everywhere she went, so did Spot!). I was afraid that she was going to break down when we had to take Spot back to school, but she was great about it and told me that now it was Wesley's turn and time for Spot to sleep with him for awhile! She is so much better than I give her credit for!
We hosted the Thanksgiving Dinner this year and it was wonderful having everyone over to enjoy the new house. My Mom, Jim and "Bubbie" my Grandmother came down from Dalton, Robert's sister Deanna and her family come from Raliegh, NC and the rest of Robert's fam came too( him Mom, Dad, Sister Becca and her hubby Alan)- all together there were 15 of us. We had way too much food- of course- but had a fabulous time!
We are well into the Christmas decorating now- I have the outside done so it looks like I am organized from the outside, but don't come in- its a MESS!! I thought I was so ahead of the game then I realized I was fooling myself! You guys may get a Christmas card this year or not- I haven't gotten that far. This having 2 kids thing really is throwing me off my game a bit.
Here are a ton of pictures from our fun times.... I promise to be a better blogger!
