Happy Thanksgiving



























We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Mayalls. Carol fixed an awesome dinner, and we spent time with Don's mom and dad and Matt and Cara (and Sweetpea and Tia!) Maddox got to sit at the table with everyone, in a booster-seat style setup that his Mimi made for him. He thought he was big stuff! Friday, we went to Olive Branch to have Thanksgiving with Mamaw and Papaw Foy. My dad outdid himself with dinner. We played outside for awhile with Papaw and Uncle Pat hung Christmas lights. Papaw also took Maddox on a quick 4 wheeler ride (which Maddox loves!) He is all boy. Here are some pics from our time in Olive Branch.

The Puppy Says "Ruff"

Maddox is starting to learn his animal sounds. The first one he has down is what noise a puppy makes. In this video you also see how funny he thinks it is when I tell him to "be careful." He likes to crawl under the coffee table and has bumped his head a few times. So, when he starts to go under, I have been telling him to "Be Careful!" which he thinks is histerical. Go figure!

Baby Update

We had our first doctor's appointment last Wednesday. Everything is looking good! As you can see below, the baby is a little peanut right now. It was too early to hear the heartbeat, but the EKG showed a whopping 160 beats per minute! We got to see the little heart pounding away, and we look forward to our next appointment when we should be able to hear it. So far, I'm dealing with the typical nausea and fatigue - but I must say things so far have been pretty smooth and not near as sick as I was with Maddox! Due date is June 24th! I'll keep you posted.
