SNOW!!!

Well it is here. Our first snow of winter in Columbus. Julia is so happy!! She cried like she was getting a shot when I told her she had to put on her snow boots and then once she was out there she did not want to come back in. Right now I am letting her dry out and she is already begging to go back outside to eat snow. She said "it taste like ice cream."

We also ventured to the Sesame Street Live show the Sunday after Thanksgiving. As you can see from the pics we sat VERY close to the stage. I did not have to zoom very much to get the pics. She had a great time and we got suckered into buying an $8 Elmo balloon. They get you every time.

Julia is now very into Christmas music and singing about Santa Clause coming to town. We have yet to sit on his lap at the mall but we are pumping her up for that and hopefully I will not have to be in the picture again this year. She is not quite ready so we are still talking about it. We are very excited about coming to Memphis for Christmas and can't wait to see everyone.

Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving came and went way too fast.

"Grandmamma and Granddaddy" (Wyatt's parents) came up for the first time to visit. We had a ball. Julia loves to jump on Granddaddy anytime his eyes close and he looks like he might be going to sleep. No naps while Julia is awake. She also kept Grandmamma VERY busy playing in the basement singing songs and outside on the swing set. I don't know who wore who out more....Julia is still asking for them when she wakes up.We went to the Columbus Zoo (really nice) and did the Zoo Lights display. Julia decorated and ate a Christmas cookie with Mrs. Clause. They also had a HUGE miniature train display set up that was really cool. I cooked a full on Thanksgiving feast for the first time and there were no major disasters so it went off pretty well.

We also went on Friday to cut our own Christmas tree at a local tree farm not far from our house. They had live animals (a donkey and a sheep) that Julia got to see. They provided us with a sled and a saw and sent us on our way to search for the perfect tree. It was alot of fun. We had a great week. It is always good to be reminded how much we have to be thankful for.

Julia ~ 2 months old

This week has been very eventful up here in Ohio this week. Julia is at a "Parents Day Out" today for 4 hours at a small Methodist Church not far from the house. I hope all goes well when I pick her up and if so she will start preschool there in January. She was VERY excited to start her new school this morning. My doctor's appt this week went great! I passed all my tests and got my flu shot. On to more exciting things......Wyatt is going to be attending his first Ohio State Football game on Saturday with a co-worker. It is the last home game and I think they will be tailgating and all that fun stuff. We are one step closer to losing him to the BIG 10.

Outside Fun

Halloween Fun

Last night Julia had soo much fun!! She went trick-or-treating and got lots of candy. Her "Autumn Witch" costume was a big hit around the neighborhood. She also loved looking at all the other kids in their outfits. Of coarse her favorite was a boy dressed as Spiderman that she is still talking about. She had a ball and went to bed early. I am sharing some pictures from the Halloween festivities around our house this week and some from Julia playing outside on her swing set this morning. Enjoy!!

New Blogger

Now that we have moved I figured it was time to start the blogging. Hopefully this will help in keeping friends and family informed about our family and all of our news. Right now we are in full Halloween mode and Julia swears there is a monster in our computer room. Don'tknow if she really is scared or just trying to get attention. Today we (Wyatt and Julia) carved a pumpkin and she is eagerly awaiting Wednesday so she can "get candy". We have gotten settled for the most part in the new house and the guest room is ready and waiting for any visitors who are willing to brave the cold. Julia has transitioned into her big girl bed and we have gotten the new baby's room under way. It is painted and bedding is in place and all of Julia's stuff is now in her room. I just don't think it will be really ready until after the baby is here. I guess that is what happens when you don't know what you are having. All the clothes shopping is on hold until we know. We will be going to the Dr within the next week so more info to come......
