Papaw
My dad stopped in on Saturday for a quick visit on his way home from Montana. It was great to have some time with him.
Thanksgiving
I love trains! Woo! Woo!
Mom, Miller and I took Jack and the babies to see some model trains they set up at Christmas on the Ag Campus at UT. Jack loved them. Jack loves trains so much he has made up a song about them. It goes, "I love trains! Woo! Woo!" The only way we got him out of there was to promise him smores and a train hat.

AnnMomma and Joe
AnnMomma and Joe stopped by for a couple of nights on their way to Memphis. They took jack to Wal-Mart and Rural King and out for Mexican food. They also bought him this green dump truck that he loves. (AnnMomma also made a pecan pie for David so he was happy too...) It was really nice see them and visit for a couple of days.

4 Months Old
Little "Emmy" is four months old. He is rolling over from back to front and front to back. He's in the 60th percentile for weight (almost 16 lbs.) and the 85th percentile for his height. His favorite activities include blowing spit bubbles, laughing, watching as his older brother makes a chaotic mess of the house, naps with mommy, and putting almost anything in his mouth. He has a very sweet and sometimes serious disposition. He likes to catch your gaze first and then offers up a sweet little smile, as if he totally knows it's what you're waiting for. His hair is growing back in now, just in time for winter, although it seems lighter now. It still feels like it's going by so fast this time so we're trying to really enjoy all of his baby-ness.

"Vacation"
We went to Louisville for the weekend to celebrate David's birthday and to try our hand at vacationing as a family of four. Let's just say that if you want to see us, you're going to have to come to Kentucky because we're never leaving the house again.

The Smokenator
David's brother, Jeff, and his family came down for Halloween so that Jeff and David could smoke a pork butt. All three brothers have become obsessed with this chef, Adam Perry Lang. He makes these ridiculously complicated but amazingly good grill recipes. David and Jeff wanted to try out the smoked pork butt recipe but we don't have a smoker. Luckily, there is this device called The Smokenator which turns a regular old Weber grill into a pretty effective smoker. Problem solved. The boys got up at 4:30 on Saturday morning to get things started. They finished around 6:30 that night. Pretty good stuff.

Halloween
Halloween was really fun. After much debate, Jack decided to be a fireman. He loved the costume and wore it all week. He had a blast trick or treating, running around saying, "Happy Halloween!". Amazingly, when we got home that night he wasn't even all that interested in the candy. It was all about the hunt.
