Very Thankful

We hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving this past week with their friends and family.  We certainly had plenty to be thankful for this year.  God has so richly blessed us, and we continue to be blown away by his love for us.  Tripp is an answer to prayer and we cannot imagine our lives without him. 

We spent the holiday up in Shelby with family.  It was the first time that my oldest brother Craig and his family were able to meet Tripp.  It was so sweet to see the cousin's interact with him. They fed him bottles, played peek-a-boo, made sure he had his paci, drug him around in his play seat.  You name it, they probably did it.  Tripp definitely did not miss out on any play time. It was great. 

We also got to introduce Tripp to some of our friends from medical school.  It was so sad to realize that a year and half had gone by since we had been able to see our friends Chase and Kelly.  Even with them only two hours away, residency schedule keep everyone busy and the time has just flown by.  We were excited to learn that they were going to be in Shelby for the holiday, so we brought Tripp over to meet them, watch the Blindside (great movie), and catch up.  Wish that we still lived in the same city!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Proof that our child DOES have melt downs.

We wrapped up the weekend with some football. I think that is all that needs to be said, considering the outcome was not good for either of our teams. It was an ugly weekend for the ACC. The upside of the day was that it was our first time leaving Tripp with a sitter. By sitter I mean grandparents. It was great. We sure did miss the little guy, but it was nice to enjoy some beers and hang out just the two of us + 80,000 friends.
