Catching Up

It seems like November flew by in the blink of an eye! We have been super busy this past month. Here is an update of what we have been up to.

Early in November, we went to the last NCSU home football game of the season!

Tailgating at the last home NCSU football game of 2010!

Playing beanbags (cornhole) with Miss Emma at the tailgate!
Possibly the coolest 2 year old in the world! Notice how often
the hat & glasses show up in the photos.


The following weekend, we went to the Raleigh Christmas parade with Amy & John!

The boys had a blast!!
John was all bundled up waiting on the parade to start!
Once the parade started coming by, Brayden was very into it. Especially when the fire truck came by at the end!
Giant shopping cart...Goodness Grows in NC! This thing was HUGE!!
Giant balloon that they had trouble controlling right in front of us.
Brayden LOVES for us to clear out the garage and get the cornhole boards out. He loves to play "beanbag" and it will keep him occupied for a pretty long time! When the weather was chilly, but not cold, the garage was pretty warm, so it wasn't bad to hang out there for a while....now however, it is COLD in the garage! No more beanbags for a while!!
Concentrating on the "game"

So as you can see, we have been very busy! Brayden is growing so quickly and talking so much more these days (when the mood strikes). He loves to play with his friends and for the most part, they all share toys well.

One funny story is that Brayden can't (won't) say "Thomas" as in Thomas the Tank Engine. He says "Bodis". I have been working with him when we are riding in the car about saying words correctly. I will say "T-T-Thomas" and Brayden will repeat "T-T-Bodis". I think he CAN say the word correctly, but just doesn't WANT to! He can clearly say the "T" sound though!

Awww! It is so good to see current pictures of you guys. We really miss hanging out with you all! Looking forward to the time we will all be together again!

BTW- Ben's letter is a hard "C". We try to get him to say "Cat"....or "K,K,K, KAT". He says, "K,K,K, TAT". Also, he called a tornado a tormato the other day. LOVE this age!
