I can't even imagine my life without this sweet boy!

Will and Auntie Kim!

Will enjoyed his visit from Auntie Kim so much and wishes he could see her more! He has so much fun with her and I think it is safe to say she does the same!! He is going to miss her so much and can't wait to see her again! Thanks for all your help, Kim!! xoxo

Thanksgiving with the Kirks!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with Gamma and Gampa Kirk, Chris, Ariail and Durham on Sunday at the lake house. We all enjoyed ourselves and seeing everyone! Will had a great time seeing his Gamma and Gampa and playing with them. As always, he enjoyed his time with Durham, too! Not only did we do Thanksgiving, but we also got an early Christmas! Gampa is getting knee surgery around Christmas, so we had to do it a little early this year since they will be homebound. Will loves all his new stuff! He hasn't stopped playing with the starter kit to his train! He is fascinated with it and thanks Gamma and Gampa very much! We love you and hope to see you soon!

VICTORY!

Go Gamecocks!! Somehow, we did it and it sure does feel good!! What a great day it was to be with so many wonderful friends and watch the Gamecocks win!! I am sorry to all my Clemson friends, including my husband, but we really deserved that win! Thanks to everyone for a fun day! Will was so funny, being in the middle of all this Clemson/Carolina debate, he would say "Go Tigers!" to me and "Go Gamecocks!" to Pat! He knows how to push our buttons! I think he is a true Gamecock at heart!

Game Day!

We are a "house divided" and we are obviously dragging our innocent son into the brawl! One thing Pat and I will NEVER agree on is Tigers or Gamecocks! As many of you know, this is a huge deal and something that always keeps us going! Well, it's that time of year again...it's on!! Come on Steve, pull out a win on the Tigers in your bag of tricks!! Go Gamecocks!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hoping everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am so very thankful for many things, but Will is at the top!!








Just thought these were cute pictures of Will showing his fascination with Auntie Kim's iPod!

Baby Wright!

I went to see Kelly and Baby Wright Collins today and so enjoyed my visit! Wright is so darn cute and such a cuddly little baby! Kelly, of course, looks awesome and like she never had a baby! Matt came in for minute for lunch and even offered to change a dirty diaper! Go Matt..I am so proud of you!! They are both wonderful parents and Wright is so lucky!! Kelly is such a loving mommy and is such a natural with her sweet little angel! I can't wait to go see them again!

The Wiggles: Take Two

Ok, so this was Will last year at the Wiggles concert:













Yes, he slept through the entire show!!

Well, this year was different. Wiggles: Take Two was a success! Will had so much fun and was so cute to watch! I still think Pat and I might have had more fun than him! It was so funny to look at all the parents, including us, singing along and dancing, while the kids were just staring in awe!

Trick or Treat!

We were afraid our little monkey was going to sleep through Halloween, but he woke up just in time to go around the neighborhood! He decided to take a little cat nap very late in the afternoon to save up some energy!




In his wagon and ready to go!










Will was so funny just walking right up to everyone's door and helping himself to the candy. He tried to go in every house and take a tour. It was really funny and luckily all the neighbors thought so too!





Knock! Knock! Trick or Treat!!
