and He WALKS!!!!! :)

Hey there everyone! Its been a busy month for us! We had a Concert (for my mom's 25th anniversary of singing), my brother Aaron visited us from California, a Wedding that I sang at, Jason Anthony's 2nd B-day Party, a Special Thanksgiving service that the choir and myself participated in, and then the trip to Georgia!!! wheeeeeeew!!!

I am so thrilled to announce that Justin now walks!!! It happened on Thanksgiving day while we were up in the Georgia Mountains...It was a great moment!!! and speaking of Thanksgiving, we had a great time this year! We traveled up to Georgia on November 20th and stayed up in a beautiful cabin with Jason,Linda Jeremy, and Richelle and the kiddos of course. While up there we spent our days traveling about 45 minutes to get to Uncle Larry's Cabin, hang out there and take in the gorgeous views. Thanksgiving day was awesome as we ate good food, met some of John's cousins, and then witnessed Justin walking all over the place!!!! It was right on his 13 month anniversary :)

On Saturday the 24th we traveled 8 hours to Wilmington NC to stay the night at unlce Larry's so we could visit Grandmother Adams (johns grandma) the next day. It was such a great visit, and we were so glad to see Grandmother looking strong and beautiful! She was so happy to see Justin because last time we visited her he was in my tummy (4 months preggers)...We headed back to Atlanta and stayed in a Beautiful side of town where there was a HUGE MALL!!!! :D So, needless to say I had a great time there! On Tuesday the 27th we flew home and BOY were we ready for it!!!!! All in all Justin did great! He is a good little traveler- doesn't fuss at all being in the car seat for so long, loves plane rides and the airport where he just loves to look at all the people and wants to be part of the action! he's a funny lil kid! :)

Since then we've had no time to take a breather as we've had Church, Choir Practice, Christmas party's, We put up our tree, did lights outside and Decorations inside AND just yesterday Celebrated John's 27 Birthday!!! We had Lasagna and chocolate cake at our house after church. It was a great little get-together! Today I've been busy CLEANING HOUSE!!!! I'm tired but it feels good to get it done!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a wonderful November! Now its time to get REVED up for the greatest time of the year!!! CHRISTMAS!!!!!! don't stress people... SHOP ONLINE!!!! hahaha!
