Another Month

I must improve my electronic life-documenting skills. You'd think I'd have all the time in the world to blog since I'm a stay-at-home mommy with uno kiddo. I probably do, but I can't seem to find it. Let's face it, I'm not the most efficient person in the world (there is a reason my friends call me "Speedy" :-), so that's more than likely the problem.

I can't believe the month is coming to an end. November gave us school days for Judah; T-ball practice; music class; Thanksgiving meal planning and grocery shopping; remembrance of a difficult anniversary of my grandfather's passing; cheering for the Crimson Tide (through a big win and a big loss); many more hours of having Jeff home thanks to a change in his work schedule; and lots of (much-needed) rest at the Nix house after the traveling and visitors from the two previous months.

We have so much to be thankful for this season and always. This year, we celebrated our season of gratitude with the Nix family in Cincinnati. Judah had a blast making memories with his cousins. I think he's counting down the days until they meet again.

Putting around on the backyard green. (Can you tell cousin Carly is a princess?!)

Trampoline before Turkey ;-)

Not sure how we got all of them to sit and smile. 

Seeing the nation's largest train display at Entertrainment Junction

Another miracle that they're all looking. 

Ready for Christmas!

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your family! T-minus 3 days until the BEST month of the year!

~Give thanks to the Lord; for He is good.

His love endures forever.~

"Happy Halloweeeeeeen!"

That's what we've been hearing first thing in the morning coming through the monitor in Judah's room as soon as he wakes up for the past month or so. Seriously. He has been so excited about "the day he gets candy." It was so cute how he got the concept this year as opposed to last. And we were fortunate enough to not receive much damage from Hurricane Sandy and keep our power. Thus, Trick-or-Treating was a go in our neighborhood and thankfully, I think the day lived up to its expectations.

Since September, Judah has been saying he wants to be a "super hero." Because he doesn't really know any specific super heroes (I know his affinity for Batman, Spiderman, and Superman is fast approaching), we went pretty generic. So without further ado, I give you my favorite super hero of all....Super J!

As you can see, he's really been practicing his moves :-)

And he totally remembered the most important phrases of the night..."Trick-or-Treat" and "thank you." He thought it was the greatest.

Knocking with one of his best girls, Sophia. Apparently, Judah did not heed the "No Soliciting" sign at the door :-)

Once home, it was time to take inventory.

He was allowed two pieces and he could not have been happier.

He was made just as happy at his school Halloween party because he received an iced sugar cookie. And don't you just love the hats and shirts they made?!

So here's just one last "Happy Halloweeeeeen" from our little pumpkin! We're ready for Turkeys now.
