Yay Dawgs!

Today was the first football game of the year that we took Harrison to. Honestly, we have not been brave enough to take him yet & with everything going on in our lives, Brian & I have only been to 1 game ourselves. So today Brian, Pops, Harrison & me loaded up to go to Starkville. The game started at 11:20, which is right before Harrison's nap time. Luckily, he is a football fan! He breezed right through the game with no problem. We left at the beginning of the 4th quarter. He did have a little break down when we ran into some friends on the way out & a little boy tried to take his pompom (that he took from his cousin) & the little boy wouldn't give Harrison his ball. He walked almost the rest of the way to the car crying, but fell asleep about 5 minutes in to the car ride & slept the whole way home!

Overall, this ballgame was a success & a great win for the bulldogs! I hope he has this much fun at ballgames next year. We will just have to find a babysitter for little Sadie!

where do I start??

I am obviously not very good at blogging since September was my last post. Since September, Brian and I have bought a house, moved & mostly settled - YAY!

this is Harrison's favorite part of the house

not a very good picture of the front

I don't have good pictures of the inside either since we moved our stuff in but we are so happy! God definitely had a plan for us to be in this house & not building a house. And we also still have a lot for sale if anyone needs one in Brandon!!

October has been very busy! We had a family reunion, visit to the pumpkin patch, Trunk or Treat, trick or treating, & several ballgames among lots of doctors appointments. Sadie is growing right on schedule. We are looking at an induction somewhere between December 21-30 if she doesn't come before then on her own. I started having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions around 22 weeks & they have not stopped. They keep getting stronger & more frequent but no other progression so far (thank goodness! we don't want her here too early!) She is a very active little girl & has the hiccups at least 5 times every day. Harrison is still unaware of what is about to happen. He will acknowledge that I have a baby in my belly but I don't think he is making the connection that she will actually come out one day & invade his territory! He is getting so big & it is making me so sad. He is now in a big boy bed (complete with Elmo sheets), refusing any help with meals, trying to dress himself, trying to brush his own teeth, and making complete sentences.

Now on to pictures!!
