Catching up...

I promise I have not forgotten about you all out there! We rearranged the living room, so we moved the computer & we haven't put it back up yet. I will try my best to get caught up on pics & everything within the next week or so.

I have been busy trying to plan Natalee's birthday party & trying to get ideas for her for Christmas! I think I just about got it all figured out though! We are doing a polka dot theme for her birthday. I have designed the invites & just need to take one more picture so I can get them printed & in the mail. I hope to get them in the mail next week.

After Natalee's little stint in the hospital, we have just been busy with different things. On October 24, Terry & I went with Callaway & Dustin to watch the Arkansas Razorbacks play against Ole Miss in Oxford. Of course we were all dressed in our Arkansas gear. We sat under the jumbotron (sp?) and were surrounded by mostly Rebel fans. There were a few Razorback fans behind us & in front of us though. Needless to say Ole Miss won. Natalee stayed with my mom & Brandi. We always work the bingo at the CA harvest fest, so they worked on that. Luckily, we got back in time to go. Well I did, Terry went home to watch the MSU/Alabama game.

Of course, Oct. 31 was Natalee's first Halloween. I will write a separate post about all of that & post pics. Natalee went back to the doctor on Nov. 9. She had a runny nose & a bad cough. Luckily, she only had a sinus infection! On Nov. 7, we had Katie Lauren's 9th birthday party. It was at Roller World in Grenada. Of course Natalee can't skate, but she had fun watching the other kids. She loved the lights too! Terry's birthday was on Nov. 4. We didn't do anything big. I arranged for all of the parents to meet in Carrollton at Peppercorn Grill at 6:30. Terry didn't know anything about it & was surprised when we arrived. Brandi had bought an ice cream cake for him, & he was surprised to see it too! The next weekend, we had a secret Christmas project, we had to do. All of you parents & grandparents will find out later!! And last weekend....we were just lazy!! We did have our Thanksgiving dinner with Mrs. Delma & Mr. Roger. Mrs. Delma also asked Mamaw Boatman to join us. After dinner, we went to visit with Papaw Mitchell. Natalee wanted to play with his cat, but she was a mean kitty so we wouldn't let her. We really need to visit with everyone more often but our schedules are just hectic!

Oh...Natalee is WALKING!!! Well only when she wants to! We can put her down & she will take off sometimes, then other times, she will curl her legs up & refuse to stand! I hope she will be walking really good within the next couple of weeks...or at least by Christmas!

Well we hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe...especially if you go shopping Friday!
