Halloween a little early!!





Tonight Bailey, George and I, went downtown to the Tupelo Downtown Trick or Treat where you visit the local businesses, and they have open house. There are themes for each store, and they give out candy and refreshments, etc. It's a really cute idea, and George had a great time. However, before we went we made a stop by my friend Wurth's parents' house. Wurth's mom Patty teaches with me at THS, and she really gets into the Halloween spirit by dressing up as a witch. Not only does she dress the part, she has this voice that is actually quite scary. It is hilarious. Patty, I mean the witch, sits on her front porch while her husband BB runs the smoke machine behind her. He has the basket of candy so, if you can get through the super scary witch, then you can have some candy. Let's just say BB's basket was full!! That was the scariest witch I have ever seen. The Hosch's are going to be out of town for the weekend, so Patty let everyone know the witch would be out tonight. When Bailey and I pulled into the neighborhood there were kids everywhere dressed in their Halloween costumes. I told him surely they couldn't all be going to see the witch. Yep.....they were!! It was awesome, and I love that they get into Halloween the way they do!! It was so much fun. George didn't get scared of the witch; he just looked at her very curiously as you can see in the picture. I am sure he will change his tune in the years to come. Most of the kids in the neighborhood were terrified. As we were walking up to the house, the children were telling us, " I wouldn't go up there if I were you!" They were very serious about it. I love it!!! Here are some of the pics.

All the trick or treating wore George out...or was it a spell from the witch?

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Pulling up and dancing around!!




















I went to unload the dishwasher yesterday and put George in his play pen. When I came back in my room, this is what I saw. George has been pulling up on everything lately, but he has now mastered it. Not only was he pulled up in his playpen, but he was also screaming in delight, holding on with one hand, and bouncing up and down to the music of the Backyardagains!!!





































Soooo proud of himself!!!!

Pox, Pumpkin, and Precious!!!

George got chickenpox the weekend of MSU homecoming. We had a very light case, so we were very lucky. He had no fever and no itching that we noticed. He was a little fussy, and as you can see in the above and below pictures, a little more tired than usual. I fed him and left the room to go get a wipe to wipe off his face, and when I came back, this is what I found. He has never fallen asleep in his high chair, so I knew he wasn't himself. He still has a few bumps left but has made a full recovery.

Happy Halloween, From George!!
My little pumpkin!!
We took these pictures this weekend at Nonna's house. I can't wait to take George trick or treating Saturday night. More pics to come!!

Crawling full speed ahead!!



George is crawling!! He is not just army crawling anymore. He is full fledged, wide-open everywhere!! We are babyproofing everything as we go. He is also trying to pull up on everything in sight. Life is definitely different with a mobile little man!!





I have also included some pictures from the weekend. Bailey's family came over for the GA Tech game. Bailey's first cousin is a student at Tech, and they stopped by to see George for a minute. I am also including some cute pics of George before a wedding this weekend. Thanks Katie for the precious outfit!!


so interested in Nonna's golden retriever, Miss Belle
Miss Belle is not so interested in Mr. George

Mom, why did you make me wear puffed sleeves?


I guess, I can pull them off!!

George with his cousin Alan Edwards- who goes to Ga Tech...in town for the game.
