This has been such a crazy month for us, but we have not forgotten about all of you out there! My computer was out getting fixed again this month, but now that it is up and running...so am I (not that I ever stop running)! Gwen has enjoyed everything that happens each and every day, but as shown above, she and Pooka know how to take a break while watching Handy Manny.
Where is Gwen? Playing in the leaves of course!!!!! (This one is already one of my favorites for the year!)
"Did anyone see Daddy?"
Ready, set, jump in!!!!!!!
Gwen couldn't get enough of the one pile of leaves Brad didn't mulch up with the mower! Even Clive, our neighbor's golden needed to come check out the fun :-)
Gwen, always making us laugh, was at it again! (Sorry it is so quiet.)
"Bubba! Dance!"
Gwen was able to have some quality time with her Bubba and Gammy last week. I arranged to attend a conference for work in Chicago, and why not spend some time with my family while I was there? Never enough time, but we had tons of fun together! We even threw Erin a baby shower on Saturday! I don't have any great pictures from the event, but if you want to see some check out Erin's blog (the link is on my list below). This video was after the shower when Don came over. We were all playing Guitar Hero-Beatles version, and Bubba and Gwen busted out the moves!
With the chaos of leaving for Thanksgiving dinner (or lunch) on time, I forgot my camera on the counter. So, despite Gwen's adorable dress for the day and her looking super cute, this is the only picture I have of Thanksgiving! But, with so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, not having a camera wasn't anything. Brad and I are so thankful for each other every day, but Gwen is something we are thankful for each second of every day. She brings so much joy to everyone she meets, has such a bubbly, curious, and eager to learn personality, and she is so darn cute!!!!!! We are thankful for getting to spend so much time with Brad's and my family every chance we get because those times are always memorable. We are thankful for my new job, as it has proved to be perfect! It is less time in the car for me, a great mix of people to work with who all have great ideas, and I am close to Gwen. We are so blessed in so many ways and have so much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving!
As a Thanksgiving treat, and possibly a new tradition, Brad took Gwen and I to the circus! It was the first time for Gwen and it was awesome to see her reactions to everything! Gwen and I were able to ride an elephant, and she rode a miniature horse too, prior to the start of the show...so cool! She loved it and was talking about it all day!!!!!! Oh, and Brad has been talking about his favorite part all day...a bear decided to go pee-pee mid act in the center of the ring... needless to say it was quite the amount and caused numerous laughs during the act and when the trainer slipped and was drug through it!!!!!!! Too bad the camera was off!
"Ellies!!!!!!"
"Neigh, Neigh"
