Halloween pics and more

So, it's been a while since I updated, but we had a crazy October...as you can see by our many pictures. Joshua is almost 8 months old, and he is rolling everywhere. He loves to sit up and play, and usually doesn't fall unless he plans to. At Mom's-Day-Out, they said he is like a new baby now that he can sit up, play and watch all the other kids. He's starting to say da-da all the time. Andy swears he knows what he's talking about, but if he does, he thinks the dog is his daddy :).

We officially put our house on the market a couple weeks ago. With Andy's new job at UK, we would like to be back in Lexington. We've been looking around at houses, and even made one offer on one in my parent's neighborhood that was older but had a very good price for the size and the large lot. Someone else had an offer before us, so we're waiting till the end of November to see if that person can get financing. We have looked at others, and we'll just see what the Lord might have in store for us. We're glad to be in no hurry.

First is a picture of Joshua's new friend Cora Leigh Waddell. Our good friends Erin & Jeremy welcomed her back in September, and we've visited a couple of times since. We traveled to Auburn, Alabama the third weekend in October for the UK/Auburn football game. We stayed with Amy Cole's parents along with Brian, Amy & Caroline. We had so much fun getting to fellowship with them and Amy's family, who made us feel so welcome. But it may be a while before they invite us back, since we brought the Cats enough luck to beat Auburn for the first time in 40+ years. Andy was excited, but I felt bad for Brian, Amy and the rest of the crushed city.

Then, the next weekend, we traveled to Owensboro for Andy's 10 year high school reunion. We showed off our Tigger Halloween costume to Mimi, Pops, Grandmommy & Mamaw. They--not so surprisingly--thought he was the cutest little Tigger they had ever seen :). He also got a pumpkin full of baby goodies from his Mimi. No candy yet, but several baby toys were a fun surprise.

There's a picture of Joshua trying to chew on my Dad's wallet. He knows just where to look for the cash. We visited Shannon, Mark, George & Teresa at the Glancy's creek house. They were glad to finally all be able to come to Kentucky together, and we enjoyed getting the boys together.

We had a fun Halloween weekend. We went to the Eric & Joni Beth's new house for dinner Friday night. I was glad to finally get to see it. Saturday, we went to the Lafayette to see Grandpa and Johnny, and we trick-or-treated at Grammie's. Next year, he'll be glad to get his hands in her giant candy stash :). Then, while Andy and Eric went to the UK football game, Joshua and I headed to Chris & Julie's for our final Halloween stop.

Sunday afternoon, we went to Mom & Dad's, and Dad gave him his first haircut! I can't believe he already needs one, but it was starting to grow over his ears, and he was getting a little baby mullet in the back.

Greg & Marci brought little Emerson over for dinner last week. It was good to catch up with them. It's amazing to think he's already almost three months old...and growing quickly.

And finally, there's a picture of Joshua helping me with the laundry this morning :)
