Thankful list

Tanner has been counting down the things we're thankful for all month, but we do have some not-so-serious things we're thankful for, too! So here are some of our other favorites:

Pizza, the world's perfect food. Tanner loves that Hamp loves it as much as she does!

Diet Coke, which is sometimes the only thing that gets us through the day!

That Grandi loves a craft project as much as we do, which comes in handy with Hampton.

Our DVR, which holds such wonderful shows as Scandal, Revenge, Austin City Limits, and hours upon hours of Yo Gabba Gabba

That 2 of the 3 sets of Grandparents live locally, and the other set we get to see via Skype.

Technology, which allows us to share our lives on the blog!

The joy that Harrison has while walking. He's so proud of himself!

The silliness that fills our home. It's wild & crazy here every minute, but we wouldn't change a thing!

That Hampton & Harrison are starting to play together & become the brothers we are so excited for them to be!

Holiday Countdown Craziness

Somehow Thanksgiving has surprised us with it's arrival this week. So has the realization that our schedules are packed full until after Christmas! With all the parties & events around the corner, we took this past weekend to stock up on groceries & gifts for the holidays. We ran like crazy, but we were able to get most of our shopping done. Now we just have to do the cooking, wrapping, assembling, crafting, decorating, addressing, and shipping! Do you think Santa would let us borrow an elf? We think we're gonna need it!


Hampton & Harrison helping at the grocery store. What would we do without Publix's free cookies & fun grocery carts?

Getting Better

The past two weeks here have been a challenge, to say the least! Two weeks ago today, we got bad news when we picked Hampton up from MDO....he'd come down with a stomach virus. Well, this virus ended up being terrible & never-ending! Two weeks, multiple Doctor visits, a prescription & stool sample kit (disgusting!) later, we're mostly out of the woods. He's still on the BRATS diet, but he's starting to feel much better...thank goodness!

In the meantime, Tanner broke her toe tripping over a baby gate. It's hurts & looks awful, but there's not much you can do for a toe except hobble around, so that's what she's doing!

We are really looking forward to a more relaxed week next week, and a low-key holiday at home!

Monogramming is exhausting!

While Grandi & Tanner work like busy little elves on holiday orders, Grandaddy & Harrison take a much needed rest!

Trouble, thy name is Harrison

Ok, the child has been walking for 6 days & he already thinks he's big stuff! Just today, we've found him in the laundry basket twice and STANDING on top of the play table! We don't even know how he got on top of it! Apparently, we're going to have our hands full with this little one. Hopefully we won't have lots of ER visits along the way!

Look Who's Walking!

When Big Brother's Away....

...the baby will play!
