Blogging...what's that?

My goodness, it's been a while :) I've had a busy, busy, season business wise with Christmas cards this year! It has been such a blessing to have so much business, but time sure passes by quickly when your face is glued to a computer :) I haven't had any time to blog & I'm WAY behind on so many great things that have happened in our lives over the past month and a half! Here are highlights from what's been going on...

*Halloween...

ARRRGH!!! We celebrated Cap'n Owen's 3rd & 1st Mate Evan's 1st Halloween as pirates...well except Tony, he was a Gator fan since the Dawgs were playing them that day! We had our annual Halloween Bonfire & Party with 13 families & a whopping 27 kids over to our house to celebrate Halloween, it was a crazy, exciting, fun, chaotic party & we had a spooktacular time :) Our band of pirates with a Gator fan in tow

*Evan turned 3 months old...

Our sweet, happy boy turned 3 months old! No dr. appt. until 4 months so we didn't get any growth stats at 3 months, but he's a growing, healthy boy! He rolled over for the first time just a few days before his 3 month mark. Also at 3 months: he gained a lot more head & upper body control, the sweet smiles increased, & a few laughs started coming out every now and then. Our sweet Evan at 3 months old!

*Tony had a birthday!...

My amazing, wonderful husband and equally amazing & wonderful daddy to our beautiful children celebrated his 31st birthday in November! Owen was my BIG helper with baking his cake & we celebrated Tony with family & some of Tony's long time buddies from high school as we watched the UGA vs. Auburn game at our house. Owen helping make daddy's chocolate praline birthday cake..yum! yum!

*Trip to the mountains...

Just before Thanksgiving we took the boys up to my aunt & uncle's mountain house in North Carolina. My parents went with us and we had a much needed vacation before the busy holiday season began. Surrounded by some of God's most amazing creation, we had a relaxing & restful long weekend at "Hallelujah" (the name of my aunt & uncle's house) VERY appropriately named, because Hallelujah! check out this view at sunrise from the back deck...... a separate blog post to follow soon--this short tidbit simply won't be enough :)

*Thanksgiving...

We sing praises to our AMAZING God & are so very thankful for the many, many blessings He's showered over us! We spent Thanksgiving surrounded by our wonderful family, eating lots & lots of delicious food! The first part of the day was spent at Tony's parents' house & the second half at my parents' house. We are so thankful to live in the same town as our parents--not only for the love & support they give us, but for the same love & adoration they give our boys (and the free babysitting is great too, hehe!) Evan with my grandmother & his great grandmother, Nonnie on Thanksgiving Day. So thankful to have my wonderful Nonnie whose face absolutely lights up any time she's around her great-grandchildren! Such a proud great-grandmother :)

Whew! Okay, so that catches us up through the end of November....more on our trip to the mountains & the 1st part of December to come shortly!
