Lately......

So I have been a little MIA from the blogging world lately, but honestly we have been pretty busy with traveling, getting ready for Christmas and me finishing this semester of school (thank goodness I have a little break, I haven't had one since before Grayson was born, so this should be nice)

Just thought I would flood this post with pictures of what we have been up to....

As I mentioned earlier, Grayson had his Baby Dedication at church in November. It was a great weekend, and a great ceremony as he was dedicated to the church and Tyler and I promised to raise him in a Christ centered family. We had lots of family members come and support us: Granna, Grandaddy, Aunt Sissy, Emi, Poppy, Nana, Papaw, Mamaw, and Kaye all made the trip from North Carolina, and all brought Grayson a little something special for his special weekend. We thank all of you so very much for everything. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful, caring family.

We made the drive to South Carolina to have Thanksgiving with Tyler's family. It was Grayson's first trip to  his Emi and Poppy's house, and also his first time meeting his Uncle Brent!
It was our first road trip with a baby, and let me tell you we were packed to the gill! We were only there for the weekend but we had Tyler's little company care filled with baby stuff. You don't realize how much stuff a baby requires until you have it all packed in one place, it is crazy! We are loading up to go to Florida for Christmas, were flying so everything will have to go in suitcases, haha, that will be fun.....but before Grayson and I came home in October, Mom went ahead and bought baby essentials (pack 'n play, bouncy seat, changing pad/cover, bathtub, and some toys, because she knew she would have several more grandchildren that would need them) so those are several less things we have to pack and makes it alot easier!

(I couldn't find a picture from Thanksgiving, they must all be on someone else's camera, so this one is from a week prior)

Grayson and his Daddy had a wonderful time playing in Bass Pro Shop's "Santa's Wonderland"
This is already on Grayson's Birthday list...lol.

Grayson and I packed our bags and took a quick little trip up to Asheville, NC to visit family and deliver Christmas gifts. We met my mom and sister in Atlanta and rode up with them. It was a quick trip, but was good for Grayson to get to visit his great grandparents, great aunts, and great-great aunts. I had a good time visiting them as well. We came back with lots of goodies and we can't wait to open! Thank you all so much.

I just realized I did not really take any pictures on our trip, probably because we were so busy running from family member to family member visiting, but here a couple cute ones I got of Grayson and a musical snowman at my Mamaw's house...he loved it!
(And he is propping himself up all by himself, what a strong boy)

Grayson watching the snowman.

(He is trying to figure this dancing and singing thing out, haha)


Well that's what we have been up to around here over the past month....we can't wait for Christmas and our trip home to Florida to visit my parent's.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
