Thanksgiving




Sawyer celebrated his first Thanksgiving with his cousin Kage. We went to Lake Possum Kingdom to spend the day with my Dad. The ladies spent the day cooking while the guys spent the day playing red neck golf. Which is harder than you think --just ask Heath.
Later that weekend we visited Heath's family. Unfortunately his grandparents couldn't make it. But Sawyer got to spend time with Uncle Bryan--who will be graduating from Tech in a week. Congrats Bryan! I can't wait for Christmas we will be going to Amarillo and Quanah--I hope there is snow. I miss snow so much. I want to sit around a fire with hot chocolate. It will be so special to have Kage and Sawyer together for their first Christmas!
Until then I will be traveling all over the US for residency interviews. I had to leave Sawyer with his grandparents last week. I was so sad--it was my first time without him. I managed but I was so glad to get back to him. He greeted me with a big laugh-too sweet for words. Wish me luck as I try to find a job.

My brother's handy work




I also got a tour of my brother's finished home. He built an outdoor living room/kitchen that is amazing! I can't believe he did all of the stone work and wood ceilings. He was not this handy growing up--I think Hollye taught him a few tricks.

First Trip to Amarillo





























Sorry my blogs are behind. I blame AT&T --our internet has been out for weeks!
In November, Sawyer and I made our first trip to Amarillo. We were in need of Granbee time! Sawyer got to meet his Uncle Brent, Aunt Hollye and cousin Kage. He also met Gay and Travis and Rebecca. Kage is adorable--and looks just like Brent. He just laughs and laughs and talks to everyone. And he loves when Brent flies him through the air. The babies are about 7 weeks apart. I know they will have so much fun and probably be lots of trouble in the future. It was great to see them interact. On the last day, they finally noticed each other and started talking to one another.
