John's 1st Christmas
Wow, this Christmas Holiday has truly flown by. This was our 1st Christmas with our little angel and we have enjoyed every minute of it. We have spent this entire month trying to keep John from pulling our Christmas tree down. Needless to say we took it down the day after Christmas! We have spent alot of time with family and friends and I am so thankful for each and every one of them. John has received a ton of toys and is having a blast playing with them! I can't even imagine how much fun next Christmas is going to be when John is a little older!

We went on our 1st real family vacation last week. We left on Saturday morning and went to Birmingham to Clint and Holly's house and spent the afternoon hanging out with everyone. Here is a picture of all the babies. It is so hard to get them to all look at the camera at the same time!
Then we went to Pell City to Jud and Lindsey's house. We left their house on Monday morning to head to Gatlinburg. Jud and Adam wanted to take the "scenic route" so that is what we did.
We got into Cherokee, NC and started across the mountain into Gatlinburg. Our car showed that it was 50 degrees when we started up. Half way up little "white stuff" started hitting our windshield and we saw that the temperature was quickly dropping. Adam asked if it was snow and we couldn't believe it! By the time we hit the top of the mountain our car thermometer said "ICE" and it was definitely snowing. We went back up the mountain the next morning and took these pictures.
On Wednesday we got up and ate breakfast at the pancake pantry and then went to The Aquarium. It was so beautful! I didn't know how interested the babies would be but they were so amazed at all of the fish and all of the bright colors. It was a wonderful experience. On Thursday morning we ate at the pancake pantry, AGAIN! We couldn't get enough of it! Then we walked around Gatlinburg before going to the Apple Barn in Pigeon Forge. The boys were not very impressed but Lindsey and I enjoyed drinking hot Apple Cider and the scenery was beautiful there. By the time Friday rolled around we couldn't believe it was already time to leave. It was the best vacation ever!
Friday night when we got back to Lindsey and Jud's house they had some friends and family over for taco soup for Halloween. We got the babies all dressed up in their costumes and they were pretty cooperative for a a few pictures. Amelia was a flower and John was a horse. I am really going to miss being around Amelia. She is so funny and she and I loved playing hide and seek at our cabin. She woke every morning looking for "Manda" in this cabinet I would hide from her in. John was obsessed with her. He would just laugh and smile at her when she would walk past him.

John's 6 month pictures
We took John yesterday to have his 6 month photos taken. All was well until we put him in his halloween costume. Let's just say he was less than thrilled to be a "horse". We only managed 1 decent shot in his costume. Oh well, hopefully we will have better luck on October 31st!

Poor baby John
Well, John has been diagnosed with his 1st ear infection. He spiked a 102.1 temperature at midnight Friday morning. He was so pitiful. He still had a 101 temp at 6am so we called the pediatrician when they opened and they wanted to see him. His doctor said that his right ear was infected and they started him on an antibiotic. He felt better on Saturday but has been fussy off and on and has ran a low grade fever again today. Despite being fussy from the pain in his ear it is amazing that he still tries hard to be happy and smile. I am sitting here watching him "scoot" around on the floor on his belly to get to his toys. He is "mobile" in his own way now! It won't be long and he will be all over the place. I pray that his antibiotic starts to kick in and his ear starts to feel better really soon.
