full of thanksgiving...

The past couple of weekends, we have been so fortunate to spend some awesome time with both sides of the family.

Weekend before last was with my family. It was a little bitter sweet (but mostly sweet). This was our last weekend with my aunt and her sweet family before they move off to the North Pole...I mean Idaho. We finally got to meet baby Pax. Let me just say, he's one of the four most sweetest boys you'll ever meet. We also got to hang out with Pax's big brothers, Jett and Kai. Michael loved hanging out with his cousins. He watched as they'd zoom by pushing the trucks, watch as they played in piles of leaves and watch them fly the airplanes.


Of course, Michael really enjoyed hanging out with Juice and Pa too...


We love you 5 giraffes...safe travels and warm wishes of a new adventure. (Is it March yet!?!?)

This past weekend, Michael got to spend some time with his Uncle Ryan and Aunt Maggie in Dallas. Texas Tech played Baylor at the new Cowboys stadium, so we made the trip with Granddaddy & Grandma to watch the Red Raiders. Michael was such a trooper the entire weekend. Being in a car that long, missing naps for football games, being passed around can wear a boy out, but he did awesome.




And yes, the Cowboys stadium is ginormous, unbelievable, totally cool, and super big! And the Red Raiders won! :)

We are so very thankful for all of our family. Michael is so blessed to have all of you in his life!

that's not yours...

If you didn't know by now, Michael is crawling everywhere! Steps don't slow him down, nothing slows him down now. I look up and he's across the room. This is where I saw him tonight after I looked away for a second...

the chase is on

Michael will go all the way across the room, over his toys, and try to get one of Kirby's toys when she's not looking (or even when she is looking).

i'm thankful for...

We are thankful for a beautiful, healthy (besides a little ear ache going on), vibrant, sweet baby boy! We are thankful for great families and fun friends. There is so many things we could list on this beautiful Thanksgiving Day. God has blessed our lives in so many ways...we are truly thankful to Him.

We spent today with Grandma, Granddaddy, Uncle Marcus, Aunt Marsha and Little Jo. We had a great meal thanks to Grandma! Uncle Marcus & Aunt Marsha came all the way from Port A to spend Thanksgiving with us. It was great to see them again.




We had another trip to the ER last night. Michael was super fussy yesterday, all day. We had planned to have a babysitter come over so momma and daddy could go to a funeral and then do a little Christmas photo shoot later in the day, but we canceled it all. I hated to leave Michael crying like he was and I knew he wouldn't take good pictures. We both thought he was teething. He had some fever and tylenol was not helping. After his late afternoon nap, he woke up with a lot of gunk coming out of his right ear. That's when we knew it was an ear infection. We had a good doctor in the ER this time. Michael was a trooper once again. He slept good last night and had a much better day today. I say it's pretty good that it's been almost 9 months before his first ear infection. Hopefully this isn't the start of something though.

We have a super fun weekend planned...more on that later! Happy Thanksgiving to all....

decorating

No, it's not December and yes, Thanksgiving is just today....but the tree and snowmen have found their way out of storage at our house! We did the tree one afternoon while Michael was napping and he was soooo excited when he woke up! So far, he hasn't tried to crawl to it.
