Fall = Football, getting Fat, & Family Fun!

This fall season has been great so far! The gamecocks are doing pretty darn good this season, we've had plenty of fun outings with our family and I'm definitely packing on the pounds! :) I am on week 26 of my pregnancy and I'm reminding myself daily to relish these last couple of months because we plan on Cullen being our last child. Daniel has been getting smarter and smarter every day. He now knows all the months of the year, days of the week, how to recognize the majority of the letters in the alphabet, can write several letters and numbers on his own, and sings dozens of songs on his own! The thing that we are most pleased with is his continous learning about God. He says his blessing on his own, recognizes that God makes EVERYTHING, and professes to love God along with his friends and family! I pray that Dan and I can continue to help build that knowledge of Him with Daniel each day!

Last weekend, Dan, Daniel, Ms. Sharon (mother in law) and I went to the beach to visit with my parents and aunts and uncles. Each October, my dad and some of his siblings go down to Garden City to fish! I haven't been with them in several years so it was really nice to go down and enjoy some family time! Daniel of course had a blast!!

This Halloween season has been great so far. Daniel insisted on being Batman this year eventhough I'm not quite sure how he knows about Batman since we never watch him on T.V. Daniel is doing AlOT better with costumes and masks considering he was not a big fan of Halloween at all last year! We have a busy weekend this weekend with Halloween celebrations! Last night we went over to our friends the Nichols for a party. Tonight, we will be going to our friends, Jude and Mayonne for a party and tomorrow we have an afternoon birthday party (Daniel's friend, Logan) AND an evening party/trick or treating at the Vanco's house!
