Chick-Fil-A

Our favorite weekly activity by far is having lunch with our great friends Anglea and Tyler. This particular location is especially clean, the staff is super friendly and the play area for Tyler is fantastic. Here is a very short video of Brendan eating puffs (sorry that it is sideways).

Oaks at Westlake Halloween Party

On Saturday October 25th 2008 Brendan attended his first neighborhood Halloween Party. Neighborhood kids of all ages dressed up in costumes, walked in a parade and played halloween themed games. We concluded the wonderful afternoon with a potluck dinner. We feel very lucky to live in a fantastic neighborhood that enjoys spending time with each other and loves to plan activites for the kids and adults.

Little Playzone

We recently purchased a Little Playzone for the family room so that Brendan can crawl and play safely in a contained area. There are 8 panels in total, 2 of which have music and activites as shown in the first picture. Brendan has a great time playing in here!

A visit to the Pumpkin Patch with neighborhood friends

This past Friday we headed to Youngsville, NC (about 35 minutes from our house) with our wonderful neighborhood friends to visit Hill Ridge Farms for some fun fall activities including a large slide, a hay ride and pumpkin picking.

New Foster Dog

I picked up our beautiful 8 1/2 month old Black Lab puppy named Tyler on Monday, October 13th. He is a great fit for Carson and Abby. He minds his own business, which is perfect for Carson, but also loves to play with Abby. I think his idea of a great day is following me around the house.

Kelly and John's wedding

The wedding weekend took place outside of Georgetown, SC about 45 minutes from Myrtle Beach. The weekend was filled with laughter and friendship from the very beginning. The Roberts kindly drove the DeMacy family and Alli Knode down to the wedding, while The Beard and Gomez families were only a short distance behind. We all shared a beautiful 6 bedroom home near the wedding site and it felt like we were back in college again (except now we have husbands and children in tow).

Pulling Up

Okay, so this picture was staged but I needed to show you what

I found Brendan doing this morning when he woke up from his nap.
