A Black Friday Picture Post!  

Posted by: Confessions From A Work-At-Home Mom in , ,




I was going through my posts over the past couple of months, and realized I kind of just glazed over some big happenings in our family! So, here's a post with mostly pictures (and a few captions) to bring ya'll up to speed:

For G's first birthday, we had a small family party in my hometown. For her second in September, we had an all-out bash... about 60 people came out to celebrate her football-themed celebration (most of them in costume). Of course, G's the one on the hill clad in Duke blue!


DH & I also came wearing out football best! Even though DH spent two seasons playing for the Duke football team, he didn't have an old jersey! I came sporting my boyfriend's favorite athlete's jersey, none other than #18, Peyton Manning. Go Colts!


At the end of September, we took a trip to the beach. G had a lot of fun with her first round of putt-putt golf, playing in the surf, and climbing on a huge fallen oak at our condo.







In October, we kept ourselves (extremely) busy with several outdoor festivals (which included multiple horse and pony rides!), my last day of work, a trip to the beach with our best friends (note that G is in the middle, holding hands; I've found she is the "peacemaker" among her friends!), our annual Halloween pumpkin-picking trip, and-- of course-- Halloween! G was a little yellow flower this year, wearing the costume I wore for my very first ballet recital in 1986.













G & I spent the first 11 days of November visiting my parents in Ohio. It marked the first time since--gosh, since I got married!--that I'd spent more than four or five days in my hometown. G got her first haircut while we were in town, and got to visit many local attractions, including the Children Museum I went to when I was her age!







Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend with family and friends!

What a beautiful girl. She is getting so big! :) And where on Earth were you able to host a 60-person party?!

Thanks for the picture update. Sounds like you've been busy. :-) My first ballet costume (also circa 1986) was yellow. But it was just a leotard and tutu like the one you had G in.

First off, a quick FYI that you used her name in this post...not sure if it was intentional :)

Second, SHE IS GORGEOUS! I knew that from previous pics, but we haven't seen pics of her in a while, and she's growing up so beautifully!

Love the picture of you two on your last day of work! So cute!

You're such a great mama :) How's the SAHM transition going?!

Happy Thanksgiving/Black Friday!

B, I did not realize I had used G's name, but Emily emailed me and told me--so thanks to you both!!! It's good to know I've got people to count on when preggo brain takes over.

Em, we hosted the party in our backyard! We prayed and prayed and prayed for sunny skies, and we were lucky. I think we would have had to send guests home had it rained and we were all forced inside!
