November Highlights

Figured I'd better squeeze this one in since it's almost 2009!

November was a fun-filled month, starting with a trip home to TN for Audrey and I. My Uncle Fred and Aunt Karen were in town from CA and we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see them! I realized as I sat down to do this post that I don't have a single picture documenting that they were even there...oops.

We LOVED being home and as you'll see in the pictures below, we came at the perfect time to see fall colors. Our hearts ache to be home this time of year!

Your reward for reading all of the way to the bottom is some footage of Audrey going down the slide at the famous pumpkin patch on Signal Mountain. So what if the sign said "for kids age 3+"?! :)

Jeremy survived STS-126 splendidly, I on the other hand barely made it without him. :) We did get to eat Thanksgiving dinner together as a family though, so it was all good in the end!

Before we get to the pictures- a quick update on little miss Audrey! There isn't much that she's not saying these days...her latest favorites are "oh nooo," and "pretty." We went through a short phase where I could leave her unattended, but that is now over as she is climbing on everything. She also loves completely destroying her room (or any room, for that matter) as quickly as possible. Her current record for having every toy, book, diaper, etc. in the floor is about 15 seconds. I must mention, however, that she honestly gets cuter and funnier by the second!


The colors in Chattanooga were amazing!



Audrey had a blast at Coolidge park, as always.



The slide... (video at the end of this post!)



This slide isn't for sissies (or babies, but that didn't stop us).



Bubbles! She can't get enough of 'em.



Audrey lovvvvvvvvves Elmo, and can sing his song surprisingly well!




Checking out the "Black Friday" ads. She was looking for
Mickey Mouses and Elmos. She actually found several!



Misfit Thanksgiving 2008.
A few of us (3 couples, 5 kids) without family in Houston got together
and threw down enough food for 25 people. Thanks Reeders and Patmans!



Busted!



A preview of Christmas fun to come...

We'll leave you with a couple of short clips of Audrey and the slide. :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Wow, y'all's post makes me miss home. My wife Amy, daughter Ava and I are currently in DC on a temporary work assignment. Can't wait to get home. It's great to see the family and your daughter is cute as a button.

My favorite part of the videos is how she stands up and runs right back up towards the top of the slide! Let's do it again!! Very cute. ;-) Merry Christmas!
