Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We started our day at our house. I cooked for my family...thank goodness I did most of cooking on Wednesday!

Carolina vs. Gardner-Webb

Coleman attended his first basketball game tonight. This was a special game to attend because David went to Carolina and I went to Gardner-Webb. When Coleman was in my lap, he cheered for the Bulldogs, and when he was in David's lap, he cheered for the Gamecocks. The best part of the whole game is when Coleman stood on my lap and clapped during "2001". Toward the end of the game we went to where Tracey, Ivor, and Tracey's parents were sitting, so that Coleman could visit everyone, and we could meet Tracey's parents, which are here from Chicago. We all stayed until the end of the game.

Coleman's New Coat...

Because the temperatures have been in the 30's the last few mornings, Coleman has been wearing his coat, hat and gloves to school. We bought his coat a bit large, but it is fun to roll up the sleeves! Did I forget to mention that Coleman enjoys brushing his teeth every morning?

Happy 70th Birthday Sara!

We met David's brother's family and his parents at Yamato's in order to celebrate David's mom's 70th birthday. Coleman tried Japanese food for the first time, and he loved it. His favorite part was the ginger salad dressing. Happy Birthday Sara!

Coleman's First Birthday Party

Coleman celebrated his birthday by having a small party and inviting some of his little friends. The theme of the party was MONKEYS. Coleman had a lot of fun eating his cake. He ate it little by little, but he did do a great job of eating it, and of course making a mess with it! We did not open gifts until after most of the guests had left, but he loves all of his new toys!

This chocolate icing is really yummy!

Happy Halloween!

I took the day off of work to spend with Coleman. This day included getting pictures of Coleman in his costume as well as a fun night of Trick or Treating. Zeke came over to hang out with Coleman, and we had a few familar faces come to our door!

Happy First Birthday Coleman!

As a mom, this was a hard day for me. It was a day that I would have to accept my little baby becoming a toddler. I picked up Coleman early from school in order to take him to the doctor for his one year check-up. He was in the 50th percentile for weight and and height, and he was in the 75% for head circumference. David met us at the doctor's office, so he helped while Coleman was getting his immunizations. After the visit, we went to Fuddrucker's, where Grandma and Pop came to pay Coleman a birthday visit. As soon as we got home, we carved a pumpkin with a "C" on it for Coleman. Happy Birthday Coleman...you will always be my baby!
