Fall has been good to us! So many things going on it is hard to find time to get on here and write! I try my best though, but such is the life of a busy mom and wife! I have enjoyed every minute of seeing how my kids are changing! Tristan successfully finished his first season of soccer and Mia has mastered her walking skills! Now, if this child will just finish getting her teeth! She is 18 months old as of this week and still only a handful of teeth! IT is wreaking havoc on our sleep! But, bless her heart b/c I'm sure it is harder on her than us! She has been enjoying soft foods this past week. Got to love some Mac & Cheese......

We had a great Thanksgiving! We were lucky to have my parents come in for the week and share it with the kids! It was our first Thanksgiving with them and the kids. The last time we had Thanksgiving together was when I was pregnant with Tristan! The kids loved every minute of being with Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Zach! They got to go swimming, to Chewcala State Park and lots of good food. Mia enjoyed her first taste of the feast and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! Mia loved seeing Mickey Mouse! She loves watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, especially Minnie Mouse!! She points and says "Min Min!"Tristan got excited when he saw Santa at the end of the parade! He kept saying "there is Santa, there is Santa!" I love that he still gets so excited about Santa and believes! These are the sweet moments to cherish. I love their childhood!

This Thanksgiving was all about family and just the time we get to spend together. With my family living so far away, each moment together was truly a treasure. God really knew what He was doing when he put this family together and for that I am truly thankful!
Dewight and I were also able to spend some quality time together! With us both working so hard and taking care of the kids, it is understandable how little time we actually spend with each other alone. I am so thankful to my parents for giving us much needed time while they watched the kids! We were able to spend time at the neighborhood fire pit and then we built our own! That way when the kids go to bed we can have some time just us in our own backyard! We had fun putting it in our yard and testing it out! It was so nice! I LOVE IT! **notice Dewight's feet.....flip flops in November in the South..lol!**

We also got to join some friends to watch the annual Iron Bowl (Auburn vs Alabama)! It was so much fun even though my team (Auburn) lost BIG to Alabama (Dewight's team). Yes, we are a House Divided! But that's okay, next year I know Auburn is coming back to WIN it!!
