Our Trip to South Carolina

We just got back from a GREAT trip to Greenville to check out Aunt Elizabeth's and Uncle Tommy's fabulous new house. Not only is the house wonderful but the neighborhood is picture perfect and they have an awesome backyard. It's just the right size for getting the 'wiggles' out... for both the kids AND the dogs! Addison and Caleb had fun together and got along surprisingly well. Brianna was a happy little girl (for the most part) and played with lots of new toys since Caleb was such a good sharer. Addison also went to her first (but not last, I'm sure!) karate lesson taught by none other than Uncle Tommy. Yeah! They have a 3 and 4 year old class on Saturday mornings so Addison was their honorary student for the day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous so we took full advantage and took all the kids to the park. Here are a few pictures.


Bed time!

On a very happy note, we picked up Lexi from being boarded (all safe and sound thank goodness) and the doc said no bandage needed on her sore. Looks like she is finally on the mend! I am knocking on wood right now, trust me.
Our latest and definitely greatest round of pictures is available for viewing online. When you have lots of time to kill, check out all 218 of them! Click here and click on Kara and Bryan. Enjoy!

Happy Halloween!

First off, to continue on with the last post of 'Firsts', Brianna got her first tooth! I noticed it on Friday. This definately explains all the drool and waking up in the middle of the night the past few days! Addison was 11 months old when she got her first tooth so I wasn't expecting this so soon. Speaking of Addison, she reeled in her first fish today while fishing in the backyard with daddy! It was a cute little Blue Gill caught on the Barbie fishing pole from Alabama Gramma.
Halloween was a big success this year. Lots of good candy for Mommy and Daddy! Addison had a super fun Fall Festival at school on Thursday, Friday we went to Brenden's house for a 'Halloween Playdate', and Saturday we went to Kenley's house to have chili and Trick or Treat. Kenley is the daughter of a girl Bryan works with and her and Addison are just a few weeks apart in age. Addison finally got the hang of Trick or Treating this year. She and Kenley held hands the whole time and just walked right up to all the houses screaming 'Trick or Treat' and 'Happy Halloween'. It was very cute. Here are some pictures from all the events...
