catching up....

Well..... Lets see, If I am going to somewhat catch up, we are just going to have to hit the highlights of each month. I think I have taken about 2000 pictures sense last time I visited the ole blog. The picture above really has nothing to do about the month of November, except these 2 are so sweet and crazy at the same time. They were having a tea party for Hollis. They are such sweet big brothers. Now... can we please address the SILVER!!! Oh my goodness how dirty is it!!!! To tell you the truth I am not so much the fancy type. I have this silver b/c it was my mom's and it has been stashed for about 12 or so years. I think she actually had it b/c my Dad won it playing poker.

Major HIGHLIGHT!!! Burrito turned 2!!! Oh how I love this kid!! He cracks me up daily. His nickname really should be tornado, he can trash a room in 2sec flat.

The boys dressed in there thanksgiving attire. Shands... Happy Lion, Finn... Tall Tree.

Finn is one heck of a big brother!! The Lord has blessed this child with such a sweet heart.

Ok... The Thanksgiving, that never happen. Thinking about this again, almost makes me want to cry. I was so excited to see my family, I haven't seen them all together in I don't know how long? Even seeing a cousin here a cousin there it still has been years. I was so excited to see them all together, b/f one moves with his whole family to Russia for mission work and another and her family move back to San Diego. I had packed up my whole family with my new 6week old Hollis for a 7 hour drive, but first we had to swing by to pick up gmama woodie. We tried to break up the trip and spend the night in Montgomery at Michael's Grandmothers house. Well that night Shands started throwing up!!! Poor guy felt horrible. Thanksgiving was Shands actually birthday, so not only was he sick on thanksgiving, but his birthday too. We were trying to make lemonade with our lemons, so we went to the only place that is open on thanksgiving... Walmart, and buy stuff for a picnic at Shakespeare. Gmama Woodie is a go with the flow kinda gal ,so we went to pick her up and she was all smiles. Well to make a long story short our plan to stay an extra night in Montgomery so shands would start feeling better, then head to Atl to see all the cousins, didn't work... Michael and Finn got sick Thanksgiving night. Poor Grandmama Cornwell(m's gmom) had a house full of sick people. She was so sweet about it all, but I knew I needed to get my family back home. I handed Hollis to Gmom Corn and ran around trying to pack up all of our stuff, while all three boys layed on the floor passed out. It only took me about 3 hours ha!! kids and newborns have so much stuff!!!! We made it home with out anyone tossing their cookies on the way home. Huge PRAISE GOD!!! That night Michael started feeling better, but it hit me like a ton of bricks. The Lord was gracious, at least M and I didn't have it at the same time.

Our Thanksgiving picnic.

Finn met a friend and they had so much fun chasing the ducks.
