Happy Thanksgiving! Part 2

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you had a good one. We stayed in GA this year. The first time since we have moved here. It was nice (and warm). Summer and I spent the morning watching the Macy's Day parade in our PJ's. I think that was the first time I have ever watched the whole 3 hours of the parade. Summer like the singing and dancing. Especially to the Sesame Street float. Tom painted all morning. Then we got ready and headed to my parents house for a Thanksgiving Feast, Football watching and family game time. It was a nice day!

Now I was hoping we would get a jump start on our decorating but that hasn't happened yet (unlike our neighbors where Christmas is everywhere)! We did do some black Friday shopping! We were at Toys R Us at 10 pm on Thanksgiving. It was fun-but only because it was warm and Tom waited in line while I shopped so we were efficient!

And now we still have a full weekend left to do some things (and hopefully some Christmas decorating-although now it is COLD).

Hope your Thanksgiving was as relaxing as ours!

I can't believe this was Summer's second one. So weird to be into seconds, although there are still so many more firsts!

Looking at our Thanksgiving Turkey pumpkin!

Hmmm...this corn looks yummy!

Pretty flower!

Thanksgiving time with Aunt Lis!

Summer wanted her Mommy to wear her flower!

Summer was excited with the Black Friday deals Tom and I got her. So with the money we saved we got her these things....smart stores! :) She got a Christmas Elmo with a book and the Santa Sing-A-Ma-Jig.

Happy Thanksgiving! Part 1

Happy Thanksgiving ... a little early!

We are so thankful for all our friends and family!

Our neighborhood has a Thanksgiving Warm Up dinner the Friday before Thanksgiving. Yummy! Summer had the best time and was all smiles during dinner!

Look at Summer's arms! :)

After the dinner the kids were running around on the green. Here Summer is with her friend Ben. She LOVED running around with all the kids. The kids were running while we were waiting for the lighting of the tree and the Christmas carolers.

"Everyone is Thankful for ME"

Where's Summer?

Time to get this off! Thanks Ms. Nancy for the turkey hat!

Emmy made "turkey" cookies and Summer got to try one out.

The candy is all gone (and Mommy took a bite to show Summer how to eat the cookie).

Yummy!

More November Pictures! November 7th-14th

It was a beautiful fall day and Summer just loved running around outside and in the leaves!

At our local grocery store they give the kids a balloon with a lollipop at the end of it. Summer LOVES these balloons. It's hard to say what she loves more...the balloon or the lollipop. Here it looks like the lollipop.

A visit to the park with Haley and Emmy.

Having a piggyback ride on Dada! Neigh Dada! Go Dada!

Summer put her cowgirl hat on and then climbed on Tom! :)

A BUSY weekend! November 5th-7th

Grandpa Max and Grandma Susie came to visit for a long weekend a couple of weekends ago! It sure was a busy weekend but we enjoyed spending time together.

They flew in on Thursday night so Summer was excited to see them when they came down the next morning. I think our Skype visits and looking at pictures helped her to recognize them.

Saturday I ran a 1/2 marathon right near our house and that night we had Tom's Birthday Tennis Round Robin. Then all of a sudden it was already Sunday and time for Grandpa Max and Grandma Susie to leave. It was a wonderful visit, although too quick.

Having a snack with Grandma Susie!

Soooo Big! This sweet Meow Meow dress was from Grandma Susie. Summer loved it.

Spending time with Grandpa Max.

Silly Summer in her PJ's with her sunglasses (missing the lenses) and her Sing-A-Ma-Jig.

Zooma 1/2 Marathon in Chateau Elan

It was soooo cold and hilly but I finished! Tom was such a great supporter. He was there taking pictures at mile 10 and then at the finish line!

Janet and I trained together again for this 1/2 marathon and I couldn't have done it without her! Thanks for being such a great training partner and friend!

Happy Birthday Tom!

So about a week after Tom's Birthday we had his annual tennis round robin in our neighborhood. It was freezing but a good time was had by all. My Mom made this yummy fun cake!

Thanks to everyone that came out!

Serve them up!

Happy Birthday!

We have had some rainy weather recently and Summer had enjoyed wearing her raincoat. She just needs some boots!

Summer's 18 1/2 months old! 11/15/10

Summer is 18 1/2 months old!

So today Summer had her 18 month Dr's appointment and I realized I still needed to get her 18 month bunny photo. I managed to get one before she wiggled and ran away giggling at her silly Mommy. Summer then decided she needed to bring her bunny with her to the Dr's. Very sweet!

I can't believe this precious baby girl has grown up so much (and so fast). She runs everywhere and just has a joyful spirit about her. She says so many words-Mama, Dada, ball, up/down, meow-meow, Daisy, wolf, vroom-vroom, bye-bye, hi, please, moo, neigh, duck, bunny, go, night-night, no (how could I almost forget that one?) and I know there are more I am forgetting. She can put them together to make sentences and tries to say all kinds of other words.

She knows her body parts-especially the parts of the face. Showing her teeth are her favorite. She now has 13 teeth with another on the way!

Summer loves Sesame street, building with blocks, her vroom-vrooms, coloring and playing in general. She loves to go up and down the stairs and will sit and scoot when you remind her! She doesn't like dirty diapers (a good sign for future potty training) and she says Daisy and Meow-Meow when she wants to go home. Summer loves horsey rides on her Daddy. She yells Go Go peas (please)!

I could go on and on about this special girl Summer Lynn!

She is 23 lbs 2 oz (29 %) and 32 1/2 " (70%)

Happy 1 1/2 Birthday Little Bit! I love you!

Summer was very brave at the Dr's. She didn't shed one tear when they gave her 3 shots! I almost cried for her. She just really wanted her clothes back on.

After the Dr.'s we had lunch with Ms. Carrie! Yummy Mexican. Summer had a lot more fun here then at the Dr.'s!
