Festival of Lights

Bella, Pop, Michael, Caden, and I visited the Festival of Lights at Chehaw this weekend. Caden LOVED the lights! I think his most favorite part, though, was being able to get out of the car seat and see what was happening in the front seat. He climbed into Pop's lap and pushed the first button that he could reach...the window. It was probably the highlight of his day to watch the window go all the down and know that he made that happen.

Christmas is almost here

The York's came to Albany this past weekend. Caden and Alexander enjoyed hanging out together. They are getting very curious this Christmas and both like the tree. Michael and I had not planned to decorate since we are living very temporarily this year. We even left all our decorations in Athens. Mom was nice to let us borrow a tree and a few ornaments to make the holidays a little more exciting. We are looking forward to being back in North Georgia next Christmas where we will be able to celebrate our new beginning. That is our Christmas wish this year...for Michael to find the "pefect" job so that we can start planning our move.

The Big Boy Bed

It is amazing how quickly babies become toddlers. Our baby is no longer a baby, of course he hasn't been for some time. Caden wants to be a big boy so much. Now he can be. Some friends of my mom's were going to take these bunk beds to the dump. We love free things, so Michael took on the job of painting them...brown, of course. We put them up about two weeks ago - right after he had surgery to put tubes in his ears. I don't know whether it was the surgery, the bed, or both but he is sleeping very well. I wish everyone could see how much he loves his bed. There has never been a complaint about naptime or bedtime. He plays and reads in it throughout the day. If you are wondering, yes he likes to jump on it. He is learning that he has to be careful because he hits his head on the roof. But you know boys. It may hurt, but he also thinks it is funny.

Christmas Party

The Kennedy's hosted a Christmas party where we got to make (and eat) Christmas trees. I had so much fun and even tasted my first M&M. I don't think mommy can keep me away anymore. Oh, you may have noticed the short sleeve shirt at a Christmas party. This Albany place is always hot. I don't know if I will need long sleeves here.

Visiting Papa Jack and Mimi

The York's and Olsommer's visited North Carolina. We had so much fun...until Alexander hurt his foot. No need to worry, though, he is just fine now.
