October, November, and December 2010
October pictures:
We snuck in a little weekend escape to Mrytle Beach one weekend. The weather was nice except for the obligatory day of rain. We did putt putt, of course, and even got to ride some water slides. Logan liked them as long as Daddy didn’t go fast. We also made our annual trip to the pumpkin farm for games, a train ride, hay ride, and picking out our pumpkins. Logan loves going to the “farm”, and he is still talking about all the things he did that day. Logan and I had to carve the pumpkins by ourselves this year, but we made it without injury. Logan enjoyed trick or treating this year with his Daddy. I got to stay home and hand out the candy (this prego didn’t feel like walking all around the neighborhood). Logan loved that he could just knock on people’s doors and they would give him candy. We had to explain that it was a special day…it doesn’t happen all the time.

This month I made the long drive to MS with Logan for my 10 year Masker Homecoming Reunion. Maskers is a club that I belonged to in college and formed some of my most cherished friendships. It was great seeing my line and some other familiar faces around Columbus. It was especially nice that Logan got to have a special Grandee and Papaw weekend. My Mom/Grandee had some special treats for us. Logan got a new tricycle, and I got to eat an early Thanksgiving meal…I think that was a win/win for both of us! The other exciting news this month is that we found out that we have another little boy on the way. I am really excited to see the special bond that my two boys will hopefully make through the years. Everything is going really well so far with this pregnancy.
December pictures:
This month we have mainly been hibernating and trying to stay warm. Nana and Papa (Scott’s parents) came to visit and have our Christmas early together. They graciously stay with Logan while Scott and I get to go to his company Christmas party. It is one of the few times we get to go somewhere alone together. We had a nice time visiting, eating, and just being out. I took Logan to see Santa at the neighborhood Clubhouse. He did a great job and told Santa that he wanted trains. I really enjoyed Santa, because they supply Krispy Kreme doughnuts (little drops of heaven). Logan doesn’t like doughnuts, so I got to eat the half he didn’t want and mine…Merry Christmas to me. We decided to make the trip back to MS for Christmas this year. We went to the new children’s museum and had a good time. It was fun to see Logan explore and play with all the exhibits. It was also nice to have Daddy there to chase him around! Mom and I got to do some shopping, we all did some eating, and Logan had a fun Christmas. Logan asked Santa for trains (Gordon and Henry from the Thomas train show), tracks for them to travel on, and a roller coaster. He must have been very good, because he got everything he asked for and then some. It was also the first time we have all been around a table in a long time. MS even had a “white” Christmas…and by that I mean that a few flakes flew throught the air. Raleigh really had a White Christmas, and we came home to about 6 inches of snow. Logan finally got some snow that stuck so he could throw some snowballs at Daddy, which he had been talking about for a while. Sorry that my Christmas cards were late this year, but I didn’t get them in the mail before we left for MS. I hope that you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year ahead of you. God Bless you all…
