Jer is 3 and Thanksgiving down South!

Ok, super quick photo log of November (b/c once again I am two and a half months behind)...

On November 14th, our big man Jeremy turned a whopping three. He got a trampoline for his birthday, which we know all the kids will love for years to come! The weekend before his birthday we had a few kids over to jump on it and to eat pizza and decorate cupcakes. He had a lot of fun!

For a few months, we helped watch my friend Amy's daughter while she was sick. Cali and Jer fought like brother and sister, but they sure liked each other, too.

The Castaic public library has these adorable kid sized computers with matching mouse and earphones. Soo cute.

Our monthly trip to Chuck E Cheese's - cheap fun

Bike riding with daddy

Our little lady at 26 weeks gestation...

The ghosting you see above her nose and arm is actually the umbilical cord. The ultrasounds are "slices" through my uterus, so this "slice" has just a smidge of cord in it. Other than that, it's my little girl's face with her arm up. The placenta is on one side and my uterus wall on the other. She likes to snuggle between them. The 2D is the corresponding profile.

Eyes open - She hadn't been able to open them for more than a couple of days at this point.

Rocker girl!

We visited my side of the family in Alabama and Tennessee for Thanksgiving this year, and Nana threw Jeremy another birthday party. Lucky boy!

Our first full day there, we left Chloe with very willing babysitters (Grandmii and Granddaddy - aka Lynn and Freddy) and took Jeremy down to Auburn for the Auburn vs. Samford homecoming football game. It was my first time back to campus since I graduated five years ago.

Not a great pic, but it's the best family one we got.

In the background is the dorm where I lived my first two years at AU.

Not a picture I imagined taking when I went there.

Toomer's Corner

There were lots of older kids playing football, and Jeremy just jumped right in and started tackling anybody that looked like they might think about catching a football. I looked away for two seconds and when I looked back he was on top of a dog pile of nine year olds. Wish I had a picture of that.

Pics of other parts of our trip.

At a little family farm near my mom's house - it had a restaurant and gift shop that were super cute

Jer sure loves rocking out with his Granddaddy.




Jam session

Since we weren't going to be there for Christmas, mom (Nana) wanted to celebrate early! We weren't complaining.

Chloe's new trike - it didn't fit in our luggage coming home, so Chloe is very excited that Nana is bringing it in February when she comes.

Mine and Ryan's present - a Wii (we have to wrestle Jeremy for a turn at it, though)

Note it's the men, not Jeremy, that are playing with Jeremy's new hot wheels track.

Future Auburn basketball player? (and yes, his head is that sweaty)

Chloe cuddling with Papa and combing her new pony's hair.

We had a very good trip. We wish that we could see them all the time!
