Happy Thanksgiving!

Lola's 1st Thanksgiving!  Dad, Wendy, & Hallie drove from Arkansas to see us, and it was a haul.  I40 was closed somewhere around Asheville so they had to make a 2 hour detour, making the total drive 16 hours.  And, they had to turn right around and drive back on Saturday.  Wow!

I think Lola proved she was worth the trip :).  She was just starting to really crawl this past week, and talking and babbling a lot as usual.  Also starting to pull up!  We ordered the Thanksgiving meal so we could spend time playing and avoid being tied to the kitchen.  We also ended up driving over to Lake Jordan to visit with Wendy's brother Don who was camping out there.  The only downfall was that Kevin worked his normal hours during the visit, so he was missed.  I am really looking forward to having holidays with him in the future.

Fun things Lola is doing...

Lola-I need to capture all the fun things you are doing, I love the baby book but keeping coming back to the blog-

1.  Crawling, somewhat- Starting to crawl a few inches as of last week while we were in Atlanta.  Mostly up on all fours and crawls a few, then drops onto your.  Lola- are you trying to decide if you would rather walk than crawl... I say that because...

2.  Downward dog position- getting up on all fours with rear in the air, in the yoga "downward dog" position.  I keep waiting for you to just get up and walk!

3.  Talking-  A LOT!  You are babbling out of control, goo goo gaa gaa and then just yelling.  It is so funny, you are going to be a loud mouth like your momma.  All the noises are really funny. 

4.  Very observant- you really intensely watch everything.  When I picked you up from daycare yesterday, you were enamored with the conversation between the teachers and another parent, in fact you moved your head back and forth as if you were following the conversation.  Priceless...

You are so fun, really you are the best thing that every happened to us.  Lola Boo!

Ride to "school"

Stroller ride to daycare this morning. We will miss having our daycare within walking distance of the house...

House in Atlanta

We rented a house in Atlanta, on Los Angeles Ave. Right in the middle of Virginia Highlands. Right in the middle of town, next to Ponce and its influx of "unproductive citizens", right where the taxes are too high, parking space is a premium, and houses are half the size per $ than the average home outside the perimeter. Why? Because living in the burbs just wouldn't be right...

Halloween!

Lola was a butterfly, probably the cutest butterfly ever. I am biased but geez she was cute. She greeted trick or treaters and rolled around on the floor in her costume. Then, she ate a Milk Dude Kevin gave her.
