playing catch up

I can't believe it's almost December. Time is just flying by... in the past couple of weeks our friends Heather, Scott and Jeremy came to visit, Mack grew a ton and learned that tug o' war is his favorite game, my friend Jean was skyping on Oprah talking to Brad Pitt, and I had a great girls night out to see Twilight.

Ross and I are leaving in about 6 hours to drive to Illinois for Thanksgiving. We'll get a much needed catch up with family and celebrate the big 8-0 with my grandmother on Saturday. Lots of fun to be had and turkey to be eaten...

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones...we have so much to be thankful for!

Emily's Baby Shower

My sweet friend, Emily and her husband, Shannon are expecting a little guy in December. I was so glad to be able to celebrate his impending arrival when I was in Brevard a couple of weeks ago. This little boy is already so loved, I can't wait to meet him!

Jean & Brian got married!

3rd annual camping trip...well, kind of.

Ross and I always go camping with our friends at least one fall weekend. We were all set to go last weekend except there was some snow on the ground where we usually camp. So we held a pre-camp out meeting and decided to "camp" at Ashley's house. Yes, I am a wimp and I am ok with that. Our camp outs are just about enjoying each other's company around a campfire anyway so why can't we do that with heat and plumbing a few feet away? Sarah and Josh met Ross and I at Ashley's and not only did we enjoy our smores and conversation around the fire, but then we slept in beds and didn't wake up with cold noses!
