Busy Lately

Yes.  It has been busy lately.  But good busy.  Not with anything in particular, either, just everyday "stuff."   Last week we went to the Lady Antebellum concert Monday night and on Thursday evening I hosted Bunco (not really sure why we call it this...we never play!!) here at our house.  Always so good to get together with the girls.  Since we were in town this past weekend and everyone was well, we headed to church.  Kate is not handling well our leaving her in the nursery these days.  Although, they assure us when we go to pick her up that she only cries for about 5 minutes or so after we leave her (at most).  She had the death grip on Joe this past Sunday morning with huge crocodile tears.  So sad...for Kate, and Mom and Dad!  But I know deep down that it's good for her (and for us, too) so I think we're just going to have to keep at it.  I'm counting on the fact that one day she'll realize, "Hey, this really isn't that bad.  They always come back for me after an hour or so!"

Here is a little sneak peek at some of our Christmas pictures...

Is Christmas here yet?

Kathryn, Jacob, and Wyatt came over to get in on the Christmas picture action

Sweet girl

Kate is officially walking now.  It came on pretty slow.  She has been taking steps here and there for a little over a month now.  But just recently (really within the last 2 weeks) she has started getting around by walking.  She is so cute toddling around the house!  She is very cautious with every step and moves pretty slow.  She puts her arms out in front of herself to be sure she keeps her balance.  So cute.  

Becca stopped by the house Sunday on her way back to Perry after visiting Augusta for a wedding!

Becca and Kate

You can see the chocolate all over Kate's mouth in this picture.  Once she realized Becca had the "goods," (Mama's chocolate dessert) she and Becca were BFF.  We had fun catching up Becca!

This week is Thanksgiving.  Excited about spending the holiday with friends and family Thursday and hanging out with my own little family this weekend as we get the house decorated for Christmas!  We are so looking forward to the Christmas Season!  Happy Thanksgiving!
