Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with the Nettles Family. We had a fun and relaxing time! We did have a terrible scare when Grady spiked a 105.3 fever!!! I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I had to walk through Grady's room. I smelled poop and when I got him up to change him he felt SOOO hot and he was very red all over. I grabbed the thermometer and I freaked out of course when it said 105.3! Richard got his mom and she got in a cold bath with Grady (clothes and all) while Richard and I quickly gave him some motrin, got dressed and grabbed Grady's diaper bag. Thankfully we got to the hospital, got the fever to come down and that was the worst of it. We later found out he had Roseola, and he was better by the end of the weekend.

Snuggling with Daddy. Watching Blue's Clues on his DVD player from Meme.

Fever finally came down and he was out.
We were all exhausted after that ordeal!

Sarah and Irene ready to start poker! We played this a lot and it's always a good laugh!

Grady snuggling with Nana! He still didn't feel so good.

James' first Thanksgiving!

Cousins!

Grady loves to color!

Eating lunch before the big Clemson vs. Carolina game.

James eats chicken, but too bad Clemson didn't eat chicken at this game.

Grady biting me because I wasn't getting up to go outside!

He really wants to go outside!

He saw Papa outside!

On his way to get Papa!

Sweet!

Savannah

Well, I am finally back to blogging after a very busy few months. We were gone so many weekends this fall and two weeks over Christmas! Thankfully we are home for a few weekends in a row and my goal is to catch up on the blog! So, I begin with our trip to Savannah! It was back in October! WOW! It's January, so I am way behind! Jamie, Sarah, James, Richard, Grady and I loaded up in Sarah's minivan and we all went to Savannah to visit Gene and Rosanne for the weekend. We had a blast!

Grady loved playing fetch with Molly.

Daddy and Grady walking around. We went to a shrimp festival, but it was ending when we got there.

Grady loved to stand up in the back seat of the minivan and play peek-a-boo with Aunt RoRo!

Uncle Gene played too!

James is such a cutie!

He didn't know what to think of this animal.

We ate dinner at this cool restaurant with a gorgeous view! The bad thing we found out the next day was that there were a million "no-see-ums" and many of us were covered in bug bites!

Grady was laughing at Uncle Gene a lot at dinner.

There was a guy playing music and Grady loved to run around and dance.

Dancing with Daddy

Downing their drinks!

He wanted to play with all the cords.

Coloring with Uncle Gene

Uncle Gene spiked Grady's hair with water.

The ride back home...he was exhausted! He got bit in the face by Molly (you can see it between his ear and eye). Molly wanted Grady to play fetch and when Grady crawled away she bit him. Poor guy.

James loves to cuddle with his Clemson blanket.

We stopped by Grandmama Nettles' house on our way back home.

Wrestling with Daddy, my Chair and Balloons

Grady loves many things lately, but three of his favorite are wrestling with Daddy, sitting in his chair and balloons. The videos of Richard and Grady wrestling won't upload, but I'll keep trying. Here are a few pictures of him playing in his chair. He also loves balloons and says "baa-oon" whenever he sees them. Our church gave him a big smiley face balloon. We thought Grady would love it, but he was terrified of it. I guess the face on it was scary?? Just pause the music on the right when you watch the video below. The mark on his face is from when he dove down the slide. The boy is fearless!
