The family loaded up for our 2nd road trip with Nash since he has been born. He had a great trip down to b'ham. He is really starting to grab at things. When you feed him you have to hold his hand back or he will try and swat at the spoon. it is making us remember that the time is coming soon when he will start throwing his cup down time and time again because he thinks it is funny. both hadden and spencer already think it is funny to see him grab our food if he is sitting with us when we are trying to eat dinner.
Birmingham was a great Thanksgiving. My mom had been in the hospital with pneumonia since November 13th - she was able to come home November 21 right in time for thanksgiving. i know she was not as active as she would like but both hadden and spencer enjoyed playing cards with her and she got to roll around with Nash some and he gave her lots of smiles. Spencers favorite part of the trip was playing board games with Nini and haddens favorite thing was frying turkeys with papa me and paul. we had all the normal things - pretzel salad, mash potato's, sweet potato's - everyone's favorites.. i was in charge of the gravy this year since mom was not feeling great... uhhh.. needed a little work.. so dad tried the next night and added about 2lbs of salt too.. needless to say it didn't make it through the night....Spencer and hadden got to show papa their dribbling skills with one of the balls going off the cliff near the side of the driveway... that was an adventure to find but they did.....carrie and i got to catch up with jena and paul and the twins...they are both getting big and love to hang out with their cousins....lots of questions....each got to sleep a night at their cousins house with spencer sleeping in the same room as cason and hadden sleeping in the same room as kiley.
Carrie's family went to the beach this year for thanksgiving - this is the first year the kids were off for the whole week of thanksgiving from school... with Nash being so young we decided to wait until next year to attempt a few days at the beach before Thanksgiving...

Oct / November
Soccer has wrapped up for the fall. I am proud of both hadden and spencer. spencer broke his record for goals with 7 goals in his last game. he averaged around 3 goals a game. Hadden's team beat the 2nd best team in the league around 10-2. He had 3 or 4 goals and his game high was 8 goals.
we are starting basketball and i am helping coach both teams but not the head coach. Nash is really starting to talk/babble to us and started spitting. he is getting big and loves for you to talk to him.
School is going great for both kids. hadden continues to love to read while spencer is blowing through all his sight words and even has made it through all the 2nd grade words....it is nice to see them both do well in school.
Carrie and i went to a wedding a few weeks ago - our first night out since having Nash. it was fun and in downtown nashville in a great little spot with good food and catching up with some friends of carrie's we don't have a chance to see very often.
it has been a long time since my last post-- i need to do better.
