Christmas Tree 2009

Our 2nd annual trip to Pine Valley Farm to cut down our Christmas Tree was a big success. We decided to do it a little early this year as we have a very busy December and will be moving the week after Christmas. Colin was excited to carry the saw and help Daddy with whatever he needed and Carson was scared of the trees until he figured out he could touch them and the branches would move. The tree is up and decorated and we are all excited for the holiday season.

Carson's First Haircut

We took Carson for his first haircut to the local barber shop. No cartoon cuts this time around. $9 beats $18... Colin, John and Carson all got their haircut. I'm sure I've mentioned before that Colin absolutely loves getting his haircut and I'm thinking his brother might be the same way. He sat like a big boy in the chair and didn't cry at all. We were somewhat shocked at how well he did. Carson went from looking like a cute little baby to looking like the cutest little boy.

SOLD

We sold our our house in September and it came with so many mixed emotions. We are sad to leave the house that both our kids were born into and we are extremely sad to leave such a wonderful neighborhood and the best neighbors we could have asked for. We have had a lot of great memories here in the last 7 years.

On another note, we finally found our dream house after many months of looking and I was starting to get worried as our rent back is only until February. Our new house is about 5 miles away from where we currently are and has a great yard for the kids and Bowman and the house has some much needed space we were looking for. We may be in before Christmas if everything goes well. We are very excited about the move!

Halloween 2009

Mr. Skeleton (aka Colin) and Mr. Tiger (aka Carson) enjoyed the Halloween festivities. Colin had a Halloween party at his school and then we had a Halloween get together with family and neighbors at our house. There is way too much candy and chocolate in our house. I'm glad I went to the dentist before Halloween!

What were we thinking?!

I can't believe I forgot to post about our trip to Clemson in October. We decided to rent a RV with the Krauszer's. 4 kids, 4 adults in a small, cramped RV...Luckily we have some great friends in Clemson and we were able to stay with them for 2 out of the 3 nights, but we did rough it one night in the RV. It was nice for tailgating as it rained the day of the football game. We all had a great time, but poor little Carson got sick the last day.
