Playing with Nelle



We are constantly on the move... usually following Nelle or rolling to the stereo to play with the knobs. While Sunday was a beautiful day, I didn't feel good. Henry was in a great mood and wanting to play - as always. I slept my morning and much of the day away, while my sweet husband took care of Henry and Nelle in hopes that Henry would wear himself out before I woke. Well, I woke to Henry wanting more playtime - he is so energetic! So, being such a wonderfully tired mom (does it ever end??), I sat on the floor with him and let him watch Nelle playing outside. It was quite entertaining - for all of us.

Santa came early!




Henry has received his first Christmas present - NEW CARPET!!!! Since we moved into this house a year ago, I've wanted to invest in new carpet for our den. I didn't really have a reason before, but now that Henry is on the verge of crawling (or possibly walking - we may just skip the whole crawling thing!) it is perfect timing. Luckily, I still believe in Santa, or Henry might not have been given such a wonderful present! Thanks Santa!!

Old toys, new toys

When mom sold my grandmother's house in Birmingham a couple of years ago, my dad came across this old Fisher-Price horse. This old toy belonged to us, Mama Dear's 5 grandchildren. Dad, the one that can't throw anything away, decided to clean it and keep it for his future grandchildren. This is one time I'm glad he kept something.

The horse "nays" when you move the harness back and forth. It's a weak "nay" these days, but a new sound to Henry. He will sit on the horse and tuck his feet underneath to keep himself steady. He gets so tickled over this toy.

trick-or-treat

Bill, Henry, and I joined some friends to trick-or-treat in our neighborhood on Friday evening. We met in Cloverdale Park (in front of our church) and started the trek through Cloverdale. Henry is a little young for candy, so we watched Frank Williford, John Allen Lachney, and Owen Earnest go door-to-door while we waited by the curb with our friend Warren Walker Skelley.
Afterwards, we ventured to see our friends, the Garners, and their Halloween graveyard. We got a picture with Frankenstein (Andrew Garner) - which does not do him justice! He's literally 7 1/2 feet tall. Sydney, his wife, gave him all the credit for the decorations, and there was much to be given!

We attended the Halloween Carnival at ECDC Thursday afternoon. Our friend Warren Walker came as a Pea In the Pod.
