Is anyone still reading this blog? November!

Five weeks without a post. I'm so disappointed in myself. What can I say? Life with a 15 month old is busy! Let's reflect, since the last post, we had Halloween - Jacob was a monkey and a cute one! The next weekend (Nov 3-4), we went to Wilmington for the weekend to visit family since I had a Friday mediation down that way. Then, the following weekend, Nov 9-12, Jeff and I attended a Charity Ball on Friday night, drove to Charlotte on Saturday morning (3 hours), went to a Panthers game on Sunday, drove back home on Monday. My mom watched Jacob Friday to Monday for us. We had a great time. Nov 17-18, I can't even remember what we did, but Jeff's birthday was that Monday. We probably ran errands and checked out the new Super Walmart that opened down the street on Nov. 14. Then, it was a short week and Thanksgiving. Back to Wilmington. My grandma (dad's mom) and my dad's brother were here. We had Turkey with my dad and family. Then, Jacob swam with his Grandpa in Grandpa's pool! He loves swimming! Friday, we went to see Jeff's mom and did some shopping. Saturday, we went to a birthday party for Caitlin who was 2. Sunday, we went back to my dad's and drove back to Holly Springs. Throughout Thanksgiving weekend, Jacob was completely off his usual napping schedule, but he was such a good boy. On that Friday, he slept a total of 45 minutes in the car for his only nap all day. Not something you want to do all the time, but he really is a laid back, go with the flow child.

Whew! This weekend, we've been to: Kid2Kid, BJ's Wholesale, Target, Kohl's, Panera, Harris Teeter, Super Wal-mart and Food Lion. And, we managed to get the tree up and the interior decorated! Jacob was such a little trooper. He is the best child!! I hope he stays that way.

I'm in shock it is December already. Christmas is in 22 days. We are taking an entire week out of that and going to Disney. Considering "Christmas" will "start" for us on the 22nd with our trip to Wilmington, and a week in Florida, that really leaves us more like 12 days to prepare. Finish Christmas shopping (I finally did start this weekend!) Wrap gifts. Get Christmas cards in the mail. And that's not even including all the busy stuff at work going on! What were we thinking to take a vacation a week to two weeks before Christmas? I've got serious vacation anxiety!

I'll try to find the time to post lots of pictures from the adventures in November!
