Big Boy

Chase took his first steps last week! Shelbye & I went nuts clapping for him, & I guess he wanted to clap too, so he did & he fell down. He's started taking a few steps here & there, but crawling is still his preferred method of getting from A to B. It won't be long before he's running, & then I'll never be able to keep up with him! I emailed Dave about it & I know he can't wait to come home so he can see it for himself.

Halloween

Dave's been gone a little over three weeks now. We're keeping plenty busy & Shelbye is looking forward to the upcoming holidays. She was so excited for Halloween I thought she might jump out of her skin. Chase was much less excited about his costume, but was equally adorable. We went to a friend's house in Kingsland since her husband is on Dave's boat and also underway, & four hands are better than two, especially when it comes to all five of our combined kids! Shelbye was thrilled, mostly because their neighborhood is much bigger & busier than ours. It was much warmer than the last few Halloweens, so we waited until we got there to get Chase into his costume. It was still above 80* when the sun went down. Shelbye was a batterina & Chase was a spider. It was the day of the Georgia vs. Florida game, so Shelbye trick or treated all decked out in her Georgia G's. We lost the game unfortunately, but we still had a great night.
