Yesterday morning we had our picture with Santa. Just like Santa predicted last year, Will was not happy to sit on his lap. Our picture will be of him crying on Santa's lap as it was last year. Once the picture was taken, I went over and held him while Santa talked to him. We went with two other friends, the Mayeux and Gersch families. Lily was pretty much the same as Will, while the Mayeux kids rocked their time with Santa. I hope that one day Will takes to Santa so well. Once we get the picture in the mail, I'll post it here.
Will had such a great time at MMO this morning. They said he played well and ate all his food. Of course today was the day he was going to poop twice in a row and make his little bottom raw, but besides that moment, he was a happy child. As long as he enjoys his time there, I will think about putting him in for another day at the beginning of the year. I really missed having him home with me, but I love that he had a good time.
I have signed Will up for Mothers Morning Out starting on Tuesday. For right now he is going to go just once a week. If he thrives and really enjoys going, then when he turns 2 in January I will try to get him in another day of the week. I am hoping that this might help him open up and begin to talk. Wish him luck!
Yesterday afternoon we went to the West Cobb Avenues for the Fall festival. Will looked so cute in his costume, but wasn't much help when it came to taking pictures. He had more fun running around dodging people walking. Here are a few of the pictures I was able to get. Sorry if some of them are blurry, but he didn't stand still for very long.
Yesterday we went to Berry Patch Farms and had a nice family outing. My Aunt and her two little girls, Katie and Mackenzie, came with us for the trip. We went for a hayride and then walked through the patch to the pumpkins. We took some pictures, but didn't find a pumpkin. There was hope of us getting a small pumpkin, but they were all gone by the time we got there. We are planning to go next week to the local church around here to get our pumpkin(s) for Halloween. Until then, here are a few pictures we took at the patch.
It is hard to believe that it has been almost two months since my last post. I really need to get better about updating my blog. My sister in law, Lori, finally started a blog and the least I can do is update my own better then I have been doing. So this is what has been going on with us over the past couple months.
Shan is still traveling off and on. We are both looking forward to the holidays when he will have time off and sticking closer to home.
My grandmother was visiting with us for a little over 3 weeks in September. Will and I enjoyed having her visit with us while Shan was doing some traveling. We had a great time and hopes that she can come for a visit real soon.
After we took my grandmother back to Florida, we brought back with us my SIL Lori and my niece Emma and nephew Jackson. We were planning for a nice relaxing visit, but it turned into anything but relaxing. During the 5 day visit, we had a bit of craziness happen here. First our freezer and refrigerator died, and it took 3 days to get it fixed. Next, we went to a park and Will fell face first down a slide at a park and he also went to urgent care for a bad case of croup. Then we finally made it to the zoo the day before they left to go home. We loved having them here for a visit, but hopefully our next trip will be less eventful! :)
I recently started a photography class through Cobb County. I have found this class to be quite helpful and I am looking forward to the next, more advanced, class starting in November. Soon I'll have new pictures to add to my blog.
