November Update...

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought it was about time to share some new pics of the boys. We've had a nice month. Myles has learned a bunch of new "tricks." He's now drinking out of a cup and holding it by himself, doing a real crawl (unless he wants to get somewhere fast, in which case he kicks the belly crawl into high gear...ha!), and pulling up on things. He wants to stand up and walk so badly. I suppose he just wants to keep up with Garrett. He's also talking a little. His first real word was "hey!" He'll wave at folks and say it over and over. As you'll see in the pictures, he's also learned how to clap. So, he also says "yeah!!!" quite a bit also. It tickles him and us too. Very cute and funny. He applauds himself anytime he does one of his new tricks. As far as Garrett goes....well, he doesn't have much free time lately, as he spends EVERY waking hour getting ready for Santa to get here with his requested gift, a "real" guitar. Ha! Maybe we have a budding musician on our hands. We'll see. Until next time.....

Annual Trip to Ole Miss and Halloween

We made our annual Mize/Henderson family trip to Ole Miss this weekend. This year it was for the Auburn game. Ole Miss pulled out a 17-7 victory, so at least I was happy, even if Blaine wasn't. Todd and his fiance, Kristy, also went along...she's an Auburn grad also. So, she wasn't delighted with the game outcome either, but we all had a great weekend nonetheless. We also celebrated Halloween while we were there. We did a little "hotel trick or treating" on Friday night. A new tradition, I suppose???? Garrett (Cookie Monster) seemed to enjoy it. Myles (Elmo) mostly just observed, but he's always happy, even if not participating. We also got a chance to hang out with of my very good friends, Kate, one of my best friends from law school, and her boys, Ethan and Aiden. We don't get to see each other much, but it is nice when we do. This was the first time all four of our boys have been together. Enjoy these pics which are a few of my favorite from the weekend's festivities.
