Teagan's 1st Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving Stan, Luis and Elliot came up from New Orleans to visit. It was so nice to see them and it was amazing how big Elliot has gotten. Stan and Luis went into DC to see Tina Turner early in the week and then Craig, Teagan and I headed out to Warrenton on Weds to spend the night before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving together.

After a wonderful Thanksgiving we all sat down and enjoying some relaxation


Teagan took a quick nap...




and afterwards practiced her walking with Grandma Demlow.



We had a great Thanksgiving, and had a lot to be Thankful for this year.

November

We started on November with some birthday fun for me. My B-day fell on a Saturday and the weather was so nice we spent the day at a local winery that has a nice family friendly atmosphere and grounds to play on.
Craig and Teagan all smiles at the Norton winery.


Amy and Mehdi met us at the winery and then we went back to their house for some dinner and some grandbaby time.


On Sunday we went over to visit with Fawaz and Jackie and to finally see their new home.

Teagan had a great time


and even gave us a smile.
I think this might be one of my favorite picture of our little cutie =)


Craig, Teagan, and Jada all looking good.


The next weekend we got some much anticipated vistors...
Dad and Delsa came out to visit us - I mean Teagan =)
We had a great visit.
Dad, Delsa and Teagan


We went out to Warrenton so Dad and Delsa could visit with Amy and Mehdi.
Medhi enjoyed being able to feed Teagan, and Teagan (like always) was a good eater.



Bubba took his turn holding miss T


We went out to the Air and Space Museum that is at Dulles where we looked around the museum and went up to the observation tower and was able to watch the planes land and take off.
Delsa, Jim, Kourtney and myself looking out towards Reston from the Tower.



We had such a great time visiting with Dad and Delsa we were sad to see them go.

This summer right after Kourtney arrived we got her hooked on one of our favorite summer TV shows called "So You Think You Can Dance." When the season came to an end Craig got us tickets to see them in person when they toured to Baltimore. It was a great show and we hope this will become a new tradition to go every year.

Halloween

For Teagan's first Halloween Grandma Demlow made her a bee outfit, and I know that I am biased, but I think she might be the cutest bee I have ever seen. We even took her to the mall to have some photos taken. Craig, Kourtney, the photographer and myself all had a great time as Teagan smiled and posed as if she was a pro. I don't have those photos to put on line but I will try to scan one in latter.

For Halloween Christi was nice enough to have an "Under Two Party" for the munchkins. We all had a great time the kids got to play and we all got to visit with each other. Claire was such a good hostess and let all the kids play with her toys, I was very impressed.

We lined them all up for a group photo:
We had a little monkey, a little piggy, two chickens and a bee. We almost had the whole "Old McDonald had a Farm"

And we got one last picture with all the mom's and babies before we headed home so the little ones could get to bed

Teagan Turns 6 Months old

A week before we celebrated Teagan turning 6 months old we went out to Warrenton to celebrate Amy's Birthday.

Craig and I took in a Redskins game. We had great seats for the Brown's game and had a GREAT time together at the game.

We will close out this blog with a restful picture of miss T's precious hands folded while she naps in her swing.

Teagan's First Party Filled Weekend

Ella was gracious enough to turn one years old so we could get Teagan dressed up in her party dress. Daddy was taking some photos before we left for the party and he caught this great shot.


The Carlson's had a big red wagon and the kids got to take turns going for a ride around the lawn. Teagan's first wagon ride.


Teagan got some love from Ethan at the party...


...AND the BIRTHDAY GIRL, Ella with Erika and Tim


The next day we headed up to Delaware to help celebrate with Amy at her baby shower.

The first weekend of October we went to Cox's Farm. They have a whole fall festival and we spent the day with Erika and Ella and Christi, Jon and Claire.
We took turns taking photos by the pumpkins...
