Better Late Than Never

I know it is sad that I'm just now getting around to posting pictures from our Christmas, but at least I can say that I am honestly busy almost all the time! We had a great Christmas with our family in McDonough, GA. It always seems to go by so fast, but then I am always ready to get back home and back into our regular routine. Thankfully traveling with the kiddos is a lot better this year compared to last year. Gavin is finally getting out of his "difficult" stage that he was in since the minute he took his first breath, so life is getting easier :) Landon is so easy going, and Maddie is, well, Maddie, so our 3 hour trip there and back was pretty peaceful and quiet. We have been so blessed to have family that is so generous and hospitable, and that allow our loud family to come and bombard their home :)

Four Month Check-Up

Can you believe Landon is almost 4 months old? Next week to be exact. He is growing up so fast. He hasn't rolled over yet, but is already sitting up in his Bumbo and playing in his excersaucer by himself, and holding his head up good. I took him to his 4 month check-up this morning and he is already 15 pounds 7 ounces and is 24 inches long! Landon is still the most content baby and is sleeping through the night for at least 12 hours! The Lord has blessed us with three wonderful blessings!

Faithful Friends

A couple of weeks ago we were able to spend time with some good friends of ours, the Davis family. We had an awesome time! It is so funny how even though we hadn't seen each other in at least six months, we were able to just start back up where we left off. I guess that's what happens when you have so much in common. They also have three kids three and under, except they are even closer in age than ours :) We love you guys!

My Parent's Chicken Coop

This past year my parents decided that they wanted to try their hand at raising chickens for the eggs. Well, after deciding which coop plan to go with, my dad set to work building it by hand. It looks awesome, though most people would mistake it for a playhouse if they didn't see the enclosed pen beside it :) The best thing is, we are able to have as many fresh "organic" eggs as we can eat!

Florida Gators Football!

A couple of weeks ago Brian and I were able to go to the Florida / South Carolina football game, and it was so much fun! My parents were able to babysit for us, and Brian's sister let us use a couple of her tickets for the game. I love the atmosphere of a college football game and all the excitement, especially when your team wins! Go Gators!

Thanksgiving

I can't believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone. Every year seems to pass by faster and faster. We were able to spend Thanksgiving Day with both my family and Brians. We went to my parents house in Appling for lunch, and then to Brian's grandmother's house for a late lunch. Needless to say, we all ate way too much...but don't we always do :) And now we get to enjoy leftovers for the next week.

As some of you know, our computer has been on it's last leg for a couple months now. We were trying to get it to last until Thanksgiving so that we could try to find a good deal on a laptop. Thankfully it has not died on us, and Brian was up at our local Walmart at 3:15 in the morning the day after Thanksgiving!!! Even though he was there that early, he was already the 17th person in line. Crazy. They ended up not having enough computers, but Brian was able to work out a deal with the store manager. I was just glad that Brian was willing to go and wait in line with all the crazy people while the kids and I slept in at home :)

By the way, Landon slept for 11 1/2 hours last night!!! I put him to bed around 9:00 and he didn't wake up until 8:30 this morning. Hopefully he will keep up this new schedule. I guess we will see tonight.
