Graham's First Clemson Game






Graham finally made it to a Clemson game. The weather was perfect and Clemson won! I think Graham may be a good luck charm. Graham did great tailgating and stayed in the stadium for almost the entire game.

Exciting Times in November






November has started off to be a great month! Graham is into everything and so much fun be around. We celebrated Dustin's 30th birthday, Graham's first haircut, and our house is under contract! Whew, and we are only half way through the month!

Graham continues to be the love of our lives. He laughs and smiles all the time. He still has not hit the stranger anxiety stage, willingly going to anyone who reaches for him, and is happy even when Dustin and I are not in the room.

We celebrated Dustin's 30th birthday last Thursday. We had dinner with family on Thursday and went out with friends on Friday night. The festivities ended with a Clemson Tiger win today! As most of you know, Graham has a long patch of hair on top of his head that lovingly refer to as his comb over. Dustin has been wanting to cut it for several months now. So Graham decided that he was going to have Mimi (Dustin's mom) cut his hair as a birthday present. Dustin was so surprised! I must admit that Graham's haircut makes him look awfully handsome.

Last, but not least, our house is under contract! We are scheduled to close on December 18th. The inspection was done yesterday and I was able to meet the buyers. They are a very nice young couple. Dustin and I are also under contract on a house that we love! We are also scheduled to close on it on December 18th. As soon as we have some pictures I will post them.

Halloween

Graham was a monkey for Halloween and he did not like his costume even a small amount. He cried and fussed the entire time we forced him to wear it! If only he had known how precious he looked! We had some friends and family over the night before Halloween and Graham learned how to "walk" while holding onto his toy. That is what happens when we let him hang out with an older woman (Brooke is 14 months old)! We also took a trip to a church that was selling pumpkins and took some pictures. Again, Graham was not happy. I did all the crazy things I could think of and still only got 2 smiles during the photo shoot. Of course, one of the smiles came while Grandpa was holding him and there was not a pumpkin in sight! I think he was too busy watching the cars driving by on the street. We had big plans to make it to a real pumpkin patch but October 31st snuck up on us!
