Happy Thanksgiving!

Thomas's first Thanksgiving went off without a hitch! He seemed to enjoy himself as well as we all did. Here are some pictures of the day.

Adam drinking a Bloody Mary...this doesn't happen often so I felt that it should be documented

New Trick?

A new skill that Thomas has picked up...

Bumbo-licious!

We've just recently started trying out Thomas's Bumbo chair to see how he likes it. And he seems to like it very much! What a big boy!

Thomas Laughs!

While we were in St. Francesville, Thomas decided to show us his laugh for the first time! It was after his bath one night and Adam was playing around with him...as you can see he's getting in Thomas's face and is making a silly noise. One would not think that such a noise would be so funny. Thomas obviously thought it was and the laugh emerged! Sorry the picture's so dark but you can definately hear him! Enjoy...we surely have!

Weekend in Baton Rouge

We got to spend the weekend in Baton Rouge with our cousins, the "Baton Rouge" Middletons this weekend for the LSU/Alabama game. We had such a blast...we got to stay in their home in St. Francesville, which was so relaxing! Thomas thoroughly enjoyed himself. He especially loved tailgating...

Brian's Birthday

We celebrated Brian's 24th birthday. Happy birthday Brian! We went to eat out at the Cub (yummy!) and before we left, we opened presents over at our house.

After dinner, we came back over to our house to have birthday cake.

Costume Party!

We went over to the Morrows for an after-Halloween party to get all of the little ones together one more time in their costumes. We had a variety of characters...from oldest to youngest we had: Ella as Tinkerbell, Jake as the fire man from Fantastic Four, Alice as a princess, Conner as a scary dragon (didn't make the picture), John Kirklin as Peter Pan, Addie as a ladybug, Michael as a duck, Mathis as a tucan, Isaac as a lobster, and Thomas as a giraffe. The photo shoot with all of the kids on the couch was definately a production! Here are some shots from the event.
