gifts to wrap now...


Thanksgiving was yummy, though Avery did not share my opinion on the food. She is into everything and was held captive while we cleaned up. My brother, husband, and I went to see our traditional after dinner movie. No Harry Potter this time =( ...we saw No Country for Old Men. It was good! (hey you get to see Bran all grown up!) But I am not getting why it ended as so. Still, a good movie.

I love shopping! love it so much! I love buying things for my family and friends' precious babes. My mom and I went out on Friday- black Friday (sounds evil- I hate calling it that) and got some good deals. I started shopping back in July for a few things. I still have more to buy...from Santa. I bought some good stocking stuffers. These wine openers are awesome, and they are now less $ than when I bought one for my house! Plus I realized they would make a good hostess gift too, so I should have bought more. Now I have presents to wrap and put under the tree....well no tree yet, but here's to hoping this weekend!!!

sunshine daydream

-walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes...

I will never get used to the time change. and I will never be happy about it- until spring comes around again. When I get home from work and we all go outside to play some, the sun is already setting! Oh well, we had fun lining up all the toys and Avery laughing in her swing. I can't wait until we can chase Avery around the yard. She is not a big fan of crawling in the grass so much, but she is all about putting it in her mouth.

Hooray Thanksgiving! Happy days off work and getting to eat eat eat!!!!!!!!! I am so thankful I get to spend time with my family. I just wish all my extended family could be together!

Not really quite sure what I was trying to do. Avery was interested in the pine needles mostly.

no jackets!!!

hooray...no jackets at the park! The weather almost warranted short sleeves for me by the time we left. I think my favorite leaf color is yellow- but man the red leaves are awesome too! I was happy we had such nice weather...I do hope we get some rain this week though, we need it!

Here we are at the park by the Chattahoochee. I tried to get my babes in shots together by the river, but Bryce had another agenda.

I really like these-

she let us know she wanted to keep it up.
Boy
can she scowl!

we became one of them

back in college my husband and I used to laugh at the "leaf lookers" that came up through our little college town to North Georgia during the fall. Now we are them!

We went on our annual day trip up to the mountains last weekend. First stop to get dried apples & fritters at Jaemor Farms and boiled peanuts!! Then we fed the huge fish at the Mark of the Potter. Had to take a picture by the river...it all started when I was pregnant with Bryce. Off Tallulah Gorge- we did not venture down any trails for more than 1/4 mile...but maybe next year when Avery is walking.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week! I am glad it is my mom's turn this year. Isn't a 28 pound turkey enough?!
Here are some photos from our day...

shake it but don't break it....

took me how long to make it. Well...here it is. I have read so much that is of great interest, so for me to step up to the plate isn't quite that easy..so to type.

I have two lovely children that will grace this blog. But what content??? We shall see. I guess what ever comes to me at the time. Maybe the humor will show through my mistakes in grammar- ha!



one of my favs from this summer...

here is avery at the park. One of the last warm days I suppose.
I hate that it is getting cold...putting on socks makes me sad. BUT there are such wonderful things that come with the colder months- the holidays, hugging with layers, & hot chocolate(with tons of whipped cream).
