November RAIN!!
Sorry its been so long since I've updated this blog... So my mom is here and we are having a blast! We went to downtown Nashville and showed her all around. We've really had an awesome time. It has been so nice having her here and it is going to be really hard to see her go! She has been having so much fun with Charlie and Addison. She has been watching them everyday while Scott has been working. He has had a really big job so its been great having her here to help with the kids.
It has been an interesting November for sure... Addison is now 10 months old. She is the fastest crawler I've ever seen. She is already standing and taking steps if she is holding onto something. She is always smiling from ear to ear, and she is constantly moving! She can not be still. All of our pictures of her are blurry! She loves to laugh and wants to do everything her big sister Charlie does! I think Charlie is pretty good with her, but she has her moments too! Its funny because I use to think that Addison was quiet and for the most part she is, but when she wants something... She does NOT hesitate to let you know! And she gets loud fast!
Charlie is doing awesome in school. She had her first evaluation and she of course is not just on track, but ahead of where she is expected to be. Everyday this precious child amazes me with not just her knowledge and thought process, but with her spirit. I love her soul. She has such a high energy and is so thoughtful in regards to others. She also has the best sense of humor. She is so funny and hearing that little voice say, 'ah I'm just kidding!' Is just too cute! She is making new friends and last weekend she went to 2 birthday parties. She is really enjoying her class and the different activities. She has gone on 2 recent field trips. One was to a pumpkin patch and the other was to a firehouse. She had a blast at both. Her daddy and Yaya went with her to the firehouse. They had so much fun! Addison even went too!
I'm sure all of you are wondering how I am adjusting to Tennessee well, I'm not going to say its easy! Its tough! I now have an umbrella and a rain coat. The high today was 50 degrees... Which is just freezing! I am learning to layer... Ha! Ha! I went shopping with my new TN bf a few weeks ago and I bought some new warmer clothes. We had a blast! We took the girls with us and Charlie had so much fun pretending to try clothes on with us! Ha! Oh and I bought myself size 4 which felt fantastic! I've been working out and trying to build up some strength. I really need to keep my back strong if I'm going to survive this cold weather. And let me tell you its pretty cold! It has been in the 40's during the day and raining and super windy... COLD! My job is still going really well. I have landed several large accounts and I am over my 90 day probation. I am well over goal and I'm having a very successful month. Personally I struggle with how much time I'm away from the girls during the day, but its just temporary. The sooner I get my territory off and rolling, the sooner I can relax. Right now, its just all about activity. I have a pretty hefty commute and I'm wondering why Lebanon sometimes, but for right now I think its best.
We plan on having a busy weekend. I want to get out and show my Mom some more of Tennessee. Plus, I want to see more myself. I spend all my time in Nashville, which is actually an awesome city.
Scott's brother Nat came into town over the weekend. We all had a great time seeing him. He sure has missed seeing the girls and Charlie just had a blast. It was funny Charlie told her Uncle Nat that she was glad he was back! LOL. Scott and Nat spent all day together on Saturday and drove up to Knoxville for the UT homecoming came. They were playing Ole Miss, so I of course said it was a WIN/WIN, but I was the only one who thought that! It was great for Scott to see his brother, they both have really missed each other and enjoyed the day together. Plus, the tickets I found for them were awesome! Its funny, how hanging out w/Nat sure made me miss my sister and brother even more, if that's possible. It was just so much fun to spend some time w/someone who know us. All our time here has been with new people. There is just nothing like family.

Halloween on the Lebanon Square! Ariel the little mermaid and a lady bug!
Addison the love bug! Make that the winner... She won the halloween costume contest for her age group!
Fall festival
We went to the 'fall festival' in Lebanon and they had 'farmer for a day activity where Charlie was able to milk a cow, dig up potatoes, collect eggs and pick apples! She really had a blast. They also had a ton of vendors set up that were selling, jewelry, accessories, hats, you name it and they had it! Oh Scott even got a belt with his name on it! That's right! Ha! He loves it!

Art class!
This was Charlie Mae's first art lesson. At first they said that she was too young, that the required age was 5, but I said I would sit with her so they let her stay... I think she did a fantastic job! She loved every second of it and had a blast! We have this picture hanging up in our kitchen and its the only thing on the wall in our entire house!
