Thanksgiving with the Cadles

We have soooo much to be thankful for!
Jason, Claire and I drove to Swainsboro, Ga to spend Thanksgiving with the Cadle Family. This was the first time for most of them to meet Claire and she was the hit of the week! Claire is the first great grand-child on my dad's side of the family, so everyone loved on her the whole time we were there. She did great on the 7 hour drive to and from but was so glad to be back in her own bed when we got home on Friday!

Claire was pooped after our huge feast... she slept through all the pictures!

All the cousins

My two favorite men... my brother and my husband!

Jason and Claire were very serious about their football! They wouldn't take their eyes off the State/Ole Miss game.

Happy Birthday Crew and Carrington

We had a blast celebrating your birthday!

It is so hard to believe these sweet babies are one year old! I remember seeing them at the hospital and being so excited for the Holloway family! What a sweet blessing! We love yall!!!

yes, I stole this picture from the Holloway family blog. Claire was asleep in my arms the whole time so I didn't get to take any pictures!

Oxford

We had a great day tailgating in the grove. The weather was a little windy so Claire stayed bundled up the whole time.


Being bundled up led to sleep

more sleep

and more sleep.

Claire slept the whole time while we hung out in the grove.

She did wake up to do some shopping in the Square and grab a bite to eat at my favorite place, Boure. They have the best potato salad!
She was a very happy little girl and then slept the whole way back home.

Road Trip

We are off tomorrow to Oxford for Claire's first tailgate in the Grove!!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

WOW!

Last night, Jason, Martha, her sister, and I went to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra in Jackson. If you have never seen them, You Must!! It was incredible!!

Claire attended her first wedding last night and she had so much fun!

What a beautiful bride!
My sweet friend, Aimee got married last night at Broadmeadow Methodist Church. I haven't been in that church since the Journey and there are a lot of emotions there. I got real emotional during the rehearsal being back in the church and the wedding was so special since they met at the Journey retreat. ( I take full credit in getting Aimee to go to the Journey where they met:))
Claire was great too! I kept hearing babies and seeing people get up to take them out, but not Claire. She slept the whole time and then woke up after the ceremony to see everyone.

The fun reception was at the Sports Hall of Fame - perfect for Aimee and Joey.
They were so cute and having so much fun!!

I love you guys and wish you all the best!
I was so honored to be a part of your special day!

What a great weekend! This is the first weekend in about two months that we have stayed at home with nothing on the schedule! We relaxed around the house and have watched football all weekend long. There have been some great games!

We had lunch with Granny and Jason's family this afternoon. Everyone wanted to hold Claire so she got passed around the whole time and she just loved it!

Claire is smiling ALL the time and has been so great. She has been sleeping great and we are having to wake her up in the mornings to eat before we go to work. That's right... I am back at work. I called one of the principals back a couple of weeks ago about a job in January and he needed someone to take a teacher's maternity leave (she had her little girl on Friday). I hated to tell him no but then want a job later so I took it so it would be a great opportunity for me next semester. I am teaching special ed and have about 20 kids that come and go throughout the day. They are great kids and it has been a nice transition back to the working world.

Claire is going next door during the day with our neighbors little girl and their nanny. We love Ashley, who takes care of Claire and Addy and Claire has been great during the day.

In very exciting news... our house is for sale! When it sells, we are moving back to Jackson!!! Jason has a great job opportunity and I didn't take much convincing for me to move. I am so excited and cannot wait to be with our family and friends!!
