Turkey Day Adventure.....

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. We packed the car up and set off on a big adventure traveling with Austin AND Bailey to visit with John's parents and family at Lake Sinclair in Georgia....yes, we took our chances as this was both of theirs first road trip! We are happy to report all went well and the normally 6 to 7 hour car ride only turned in to 9 hours. We only had one major blowout diaper on the way up where the outfit actually had to just be thrown away in the rest stop trash can! Austin enjoyed his very first turkey day and we had a wonderful holiday spending time with all of John's family!


Sunrise at Lake Sinclair....yes, we were up each day at this time with you know who!


Our little pumpkin!


Swinging with dad at the lakehouse....


Austin rocking with his great uncle Johnny.


Austin loved playing with his grandparents each morning in the exersaucer.


I love this smile! Evidently Austin actually knows what the camera is for when we break it out now :)


Just hanging out in the hammock with my dad! Austin loves swinging in our hammock- he actually fell asleep in it the other afternoon....

Happy Halloween!!

We hope everybody had a great Halloween! We didn't dress Austin up for his first halloween this year- just some halloween pj's, but we all had fun sitting outside and handing out candy to trick or treaters AND we also celebrated Aunt Mandy's 29th birthday with some cupcakes and ice cream.....



John and Austin having fun carving his first pumpkin over the weekend. Austin liked touching the slimy insides from the pumpkin!


We thought Austin would look much cooler for pumpkin carving in his sunglasses!


Dad and Austin with the finished product!




We almost have a picture of all four of us looking at the camera here- bailey has a good habit of turning his head as soon as you take the picture.

Back to Blogging.....

We are back to blogging FINALLY! We have no excuse except that we have a 5 month old......that's right Austin is almost 5 months old and weighing in now at just over 17 pounds! I have decided to stay at home with him full time and he sure does keep me busy! This is no easy job I will tell you, but he is constantly changing and it is rewarding watching him grow :) Just a little bit of what has been going on lately: austin is now sitting in his bumbo chair and highchair, he has been eating rice cereal for about 2 weeks now, we've taken him swimming and he loves it, and we had a nice visit with my mom/grammy a couple weeks ago.


What a cute beach boy! We took this pic one morning before a stroll through some botanical gardens near us - by some strange coincidence austin fell asleep as soon as we got there???.....


I'm just a Saints fan lounging in my hammock......


Austin playing with his grammy- they had lots of fun together!


Austin's first try sitting in the big boy highchair we got him- he seems to like it most days.

As you can tell, Austin was SOOOOO excited LSU beat the Gators!
