Ok, ok, I know it has been a while. Before I start making excuses for my lack of blog-prowess, I'll just come out with what has really been happening! Top ten highlights are:
1. Went to the beach for Adam Brannon's 30th birthday. Had a blast; did some shopping; played putt-putt; drank wine; watched Wofford get killed on t.v.; played with our kid in the nicest beach house ever. EVER. Figured out that yelling (even if at a football game on tv) really upsets our child.
What's all that yelling for?
2. Visited with Mark, Erika, and McLain Roberts on our way back from the beach. Miss the Marion, SC family so much and can't wait to meet Baby Roberts!
3. Rocked the vote on Tuesday. JR was especially excited to wear his blue turtleneck in support of our favorite candidate. The polling ladies were excited to see such a politically-minded and socially conscience little boy, and I was excited that voting only took me ten minutes.
4. Watched JR go from crawling to pulling up and standing on just about anything in just under one week.
5. Saw Noises Off at the Chapman Cultural Center. By far the best play I have ever seen. Brought tears to my eyes and deep, rolling laughter from my lungs. Yay for date nights!
6. Took both Polk and Sadie to the vet....realized there is no spending money left for the month after the trip. So much for starting my Christmas shopping early.
7. Cheered on our Terriers...for the first half, at least, on Saturday! Congrats to those T-dogs for the 10th straight victory against the Citadel.
8. Visited with family friends Judy and Ron, up from Tallahassee...it is so wonderful to spend time with them!
9. Napped on Sunday afternoon. Enough said.
10. Realized JR must have another tooth coming in somewhere, what with all the drool and chewing and such. Just can't seem to figure out where that toofus will be!
So, there it is...the nutshell for the delay. No worries, I'll post more photos soon. My to-do list is full, but "download pictures" is on there somewhere....
Carving pumpkins with sharp knives is not the safest, most baby-friendly activity (plus it is messy and time consuming!). We took the safe and lazy route which proved to also be the option that proves I have no artistic talent....our W pumpkin is in NO WAY a W for Bush--you guys know me much better than that! Our W is the original W--the Wofford one! I felt it was the best way to pay tribute to our tough Terriers, who will be playing on Halloween night at App State. It is on ESPN 2, which is where our eyeballs will be glued come tomorrow night!
GO TERRIERS!
We will be heading to Pawley's Island this weekend for the official 30th birthday celebration of friend Adam Brannon (of the Brannon Report). We decided to celebrate Halloween early by visiting Emme and Gance's houses last night.
Yes, JR is in a hot dog costume. And yes, he has on a "costume" under that (Charlie Brown onesie). And yes it is true, I bought the hot dog costume last year...before JR was born. How did I get it so right?! He is the best hot dog ever!
Becca is Community Mobilizing Coordinator at Partners for Active Living. Remsen is Director of Purchasing at Extended Stay Hotels. Together, we are enjoying busy life between Charlotte, North Carolina and Spartanburg, South Carolina with our dogs, Polk and Sadie, and kiddo JR! Enjoy the blog and visit often!
