Coming soon.....

So I know that I have been extremely slack about the blog.....it has been a month since I last posted. I have been extremely busy hosting Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and soon....Hailey's birthday. Below are some pictures but I plan to post more and catch everyone up on what Hailey has been up to on Sunday.....stay tuned.

This was Jamie's goose when she was growing up.

Thanksgiving

Well it has been a while since I have posted. Things have been very busy.

We made our annual trip to Georgia for Thanksgiving and Hailey did wonderful. The trip took about 8 hours on the way down, she slept for about an hour and was an angel the rest of the time. I was really worried about how she was going to act after being strapped into her car seat for such a long period of time but it was a great trip. The trip back took a little longer because we stopped to see Paul's grandma who is 93 and had not met Hailey yet and then we had to drop off his 83 year old aunt. Hailey did well most of the trip except the last hour or so, she was tired of being in her seat and was ready for bed.

While we were in Georgia we went to go see my aunt and uncle, who also had not met Hailey. Below is a picture of my Uncle Steven and Hailey. We had a very short but great visit.

Below are some pictures of her first Thanksgiving meal

Quick update

Well I know I have been very slack....I haven't updated in almost 2 weeks. Things have been so busy at home and at work, hopefully they will slow down but I doubt it.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Hailey is now letting go of when she is standing up. She wobbles for a minutes and then falls down. She is well on her way to walking.

She is also getting her first molar. That makes 9 teeth. I really can't believe my 10 1/2 month old has 9 teeth......it's crazy.

I will probably not have another opportunity to post until after Thanksgiving but I will try.

Halloween

Hailey is so young and doesn't even know what Halloween is, but we wanted her to enjoy her 1st Halloween. We got her dressed in her costume and put her in her red wagon and walked around the neighorhood with the kids next door and across the street. She had a blast.

Pumpkin Picking

Last Sunday, we went Pumpkin Picking at our local farm. I use the words Pumpkin Picking loosely because we actually left with out one single pumpkin....yes I said we went to a pumpkin field and didn't leave with a pumpkin. I believe that it was the coldest day this season, I think the car said 47 degrees before we got out of the car. So we met some friends and family at the field, took some pictures, saw the animals and went on a hay ride. By the time we did all of that, I was FROZEN. Hailey was a little more bundled then I was, she had a hat, mittens and a jacket on. So, I decided that I would get pumpkins at the grocery store where it was warm. Below are a few pictures from our wonderful day....

So serious

Not so serious

Some pictures of Hailey from October

Hailey hanging out in her infant seat, drinking her juice and watching tv. Note: We actually brought this back out for our friends 4 week old to lay in and the next day, she was in it.

Being a trooper....tailgating for the ECU game. It was a little cold.

Below are some pictures from the kitchen remodel. The kitchen is done with the exception of a few things......but for the most part the remodel is complete.
