Thanksgiving...

Thatcher and Uncle Bubba

Hopefully everyone out in blog land had a very happy Thanksgiving. We sure did! Mom and Dad arrived on Tuesday afternoon and we hung out with them, then on Wednesday Mom cooked sides to bring to the Thanksgiving feast. Mom also helped me put up our Christmas tree and decorate it...she is so good at decorating ANYTHING. On Thursday morning we picked Dusty up and soon headed to my aunt and uncle's home in Ft. Worth. We had a great time visiting with family and eating tons of good food.

Sunday was my birthday and after church we ate lunch, changed clothes, loaded up the baby (one of his first "real" trips out, other than just stops here and there) and headed to the NorthPark mall...yippee! My family gave me money for my birthday, so I shopped while my Mom sat and watched Thatcher. It was wonderful...I actually found a few things that I liked! I actually felt very foreign to shopping--it has been SO LONG since I have bought any clothes for myself. We topped the day off by eating dinner at Texas Land and Cattle...yum!

Other than the above events, we have just been trying to squeeze Christmas shopping in, addressing Christmas cards, and enjoying the holiday season. Thatcher is doing well...he has recently discovered his LUNGS--the boy knows how to scream when he isn't happy. He overall is still a wonderful, happy baby...but watch out if you catch him in not so great of a mood :) He has started smiling at us and cooing a little bit, it just melts my heart. He is my little sack of sugar! Anyways, with that cheesy note, I will sign off...happy Friday everyone!

Time's a flyin...

I can't believe Thanksgiving is a little over a week away...it sure doesn't seem very fallish these days with temperatures in the 80s!! I'm ready for the cool weather to stay for good.

We haven't been up to much these days, just enjoying Thatcher and adjusting to life with a baby. Yesterday we had his 1 month check up and he weighed in at 9lbs, 12oz and was 22 inches! He jumped from the 50th percentile in weight to the 75th percentile in 2 weeks. I knew he had grown, but didn't know it would be that much. He is such a fun little boy, always making Jeff and I laugh...we just love him so much. Here are a couple of recent pictures...enjoy!

Yes, I AM part Texas Tech fan, just don't tell my daddy!
