Thanksgiving and Parker's 4 month old recap

Okay, so again I am having to post several posts to catch up, but the important thing is that you get to see a bunch of pictures!! So make sure you scroll down and look at the other post that follows! :) As I am writing this, Parker just turned 5 months old!! I can't believe it! But this post is about his 4th month and Thanksgiving--stay tuned for month 5!! :) Parker is really getting to be alot of fun with new sounds, new faces and learning something new everyday! You can just see him learning! He is starting to grab at things like your drink or the remote, phone, etc! He loves to 'talk' and has really noticing Maggie! He can sit with assistance before he slumps over, but getting better each day and he sleeping about 10-12 hours at night. He experienced his exersaucer for the first time and LOVES it! He loves to laugh and smile now and we just adore him!!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Bruce side of the family at the lake and we had a great time!! The weather was beautiful and we couldn't have been more thankful for all that the Lord has blessed us with this past year!! Enjoy!

Some catching up

Well, I have a lot of catching up to do!! Here are a few pictures of some of the things we have been up too! The first ones are from Florence when we stopped over to spend the night on our way back from the beach. We (basically Parker) needed to break up the trip and it was great to see most of the family during our short visit, and Parker got to meet Aunt Linda and Aunt Cher--so that was great!! :) The other ones are from our first meeting of our Supper Club since all of the new additions!! (We were missing the Epting's and the Vickery's--so we were short some kids!) Enjoy the pictures! :)

Beach Trip

Last week we took Parker to the beach for the first time! We had a blast and thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Bruce's parents and getting away and relaxing. Grandaddy and GiGi were gracious to invite us to come down to their place in Litchfield--and of course, spend some time with Parker! ;) Bruce got to play golf with his dad twice and Jeanie and I went shopping one day! It was very nice weather and we even went out on the beach a couple of days! (no sunbathing or getting in the water--maybe this coming summer!) Thanks Lucian and Jeanie--we had a great time!

"Hi Dad--first time on this beach thing!" :)

Grabbing that foot--how cute!

We actually got a picture with just us--'we do exist!' ;)

A cool dude! (his mommy can be silly sometimes!) :)

Halloween

Well, as you can guess--our sweet baby boy was a Tiger for Halloween!! ;) He had a great first Halloween by going to the Clemson Homecoming game and celebrating his Grandaddy Lucian's birthday and his Great-Great-Aunt Annie's birthday too! It was a great day: Clemson won, we ate great tailgate food, candy, and cake and had a wonderful time spending time with family, even in the rain!! Enjoy! :)

Getting Maggie to pose with Parker wasn't easy
