So much to be thankful for... it will make you cry!

Happy Turkey Day... and as always we have so much to be thankful for this year! We celebrated Thanksgiving in St. Simons with Gigi and Papa Doc and uncle Blake and sweet aunt Lyd. This day was really special as I got to cook with my mom for the first time ever on Thanksgiving and we prepared the best turkey meal ever and had such fun doing it together! I even learned how to make gravy from scratch... who would have thought I would be 29 years old and still not know how to make gravy... but it was so fun learning from my sweet mom... I will cherish these moments forever! It was also absolutely perfect weather and Philip loved getting to do all the fun things we always do at the beach... like of course riding in the golf cart (even though this time, he had his first official run in with the law on Turkey Day... another story for another time... but someday I guess he will just have to ask his Gigi and Papa Doc about his first official police encounter). He also was estatic about getting to go to the beach and run around and play... I mean really, does life get any better than that... I don't think so! Philip also loved getting to read books with his Gigi and have fun, sweet bathtimes and he loved playing his paci kissing game with his Papa Doc as well as his pointing "you" game which I might add was hilarious! On top of all that, we all were fired up to get to cheer our Dawgs onto an amazing victory against Georgia Tech... Philip of course did his favorite "Go Dawgs" cheer and touchdown dance every time we scored which was the hit of the night! We feel so blessed on this special holiday and praise our Lord for all our very undeserved blessings... from our next little angel who is planning to arrive in March 2010 to our sweet precious little boy Philip who continues to amaze us and makes us laugh and smile everyday... and to our amazing families who love us and who we love more than words can say... we thank you Lord!
Pondering my many blessings

Thankful for Grandparents Love

We are so blessed and so thankful for Philip's loving and amazing grandparents!! His Mimi and Grande flew in for a weekend of fun and boy was it ever fun! We started the weekend off right with the best burgers in town at "Big Daddy's" which was then followed by Saturday morning donuts, playing in Freedom Park where Philip showed how he goes down the big boy slide all by himself (and did I mention head first??... he is fearless, "all boy" and so much fun), watching football, relaxing by the fire and church on Sunday. Philip loved playing chase with his Grande and of course wearing his big cowboy boots (we have recently detected that Philip has a shoe fetish... now, where could he have gotten that from?!) and he really loved reading books and snuggling in his "rock rock" chair with his Mimi. He loves to get into the big rocking chair and say "rock rock" "rock rock" "rock rock" over and over... it is just so cute. He showed off all his new tricks... from his favorite new word "Whoa" that he yells as he spins around and around until he is so dizzy he falls down and his new "jumping" skills to playing peek-a-boo, reading his favorite book his Pajama Bible and last but not least doing his new "Mimi flirt shoulder move." It was such a wonderful weekend... and what a time to be in Thanksgiving to god for ALL good and perfect things... especially grandparents! We love you Mimi and Grande! XOXO
I love you Mimi (Philip's new shoulder flirt move that he only does for his Mimi)
Mom, when can I get me some of these real cowboy boots... they are awesome?!
I'm gonna getcha' Grande!!
Goodnight noises everywhere... I am going to read books and "rock rock" with my Mimi
