Saturday we worked on the house again, that's been our life the past few weekends. We wanted to get a temporary fence around the pool because Drew absolutely loves running around in the yard, so just to be on the safe side we wanted to put up a barrier.

This is the before, we originally bought the orange fence, but then luckily on a quick trip to Home Depot for something else, we found some green fencing...
Just an example of what Drew does the entire time we are at the house - run run run! Non-stop! Behind him is the barn, we recently enclosed the right side to make a tool shed...
Our new couch was delivered Saturday - and we love it! It barely fits into the living room, but it's in there and it is so comfortable. The living room and the two bedrooms in the background will be our new living quarters until the remodel is finished.
Another view of the couch...

November 30th mt grandmother turned 90! We went to dinner at Shells and then headed back to my parents for a drink. Tonight we are having a big family party at Stellas Skyline Rest.

Here is Drew entertaining himself with Tigger, they like to bouce!
This is Drew's new haircut - his father did it. RJ took his clippers and Drew into the bathroom and here is the result. I'm having to get used to it - he definitely does not look like a 20 month old with his hair like this...
Drew decided to try on PaPa's shoes. Drew is closely following in PaPa's path to have HUGE feet!!

For Thanksgiving, we had our usual hunting camp trip. We had lots of food and Grandma let my dad take her for ride into the swamp...

Here are some more camping pictures, thanks to my friend Jodi.

I have no clue what I am talking about or doing. I'm probably raising my hand to say "yes, I need a shower!"
Drew and Rainie begging for some chips...
OK - they are too cute, they deserve the chips...

RJ and Keith eating some of the 1 and a 1/2 bushels that they bought... (Which they finished every single one of them by the night's end)
This is Garrett's first oyster - ever! Tim (Rainie's daddy) is laughing at him...
Drew looking for some good tunes for us...
Garrett looking for some good smores making sticks...
Zan & Keith's son Hayden...

Thanks to my good friend Jodi, I now have this wonderful picture from the fair, and more camping pictures. My camera had its final day so I haven't had many pictures to post lately.

This is Will and Drew milking a cow at the fair - just kidding - it's water!! Ewwww as if I'd actually let him touch that - he's lucky he got to touch the water, luckily we keep hand sanitizer close by.

This past weekend we decided to go camping. The weather has been beautiful, but of course, it turned freezing cold this weekend. We went to Anastasia Island in St. Augustine. It is about an hour drive from home and a really nice camping spot. The beach is literally walking distance, there are tons of trails to walk or bike and also lots of places to go fishing or kayaking. Plus it is a very short drive to amazing downtown St. Augustine, where are the cute little shops are, or a little l0nger of a short dirve to the outlet mall!

Here R.J. just finished getting our tent ready and the lights up for dinner...
Here is our campsite in the daylight...
We opted to allow Drew stay home with Grammy the first night and friends of ours, Jodi & Kelley brought him up early Saturday morning. He immediately took off on his own through the woods, fell & almost poked his eye out, and refused to take a nap because he was having too much fun! I'm not sure why he is crying in this picture other than maybe his dunp truck is stuck and he is mad about that ????
Like I said, the beach is within walking distance from our campsite. Here is Drew and Will runnning for the water. Yes it was cold out. Yes the water felt like an ice cube. But... what can you do
This picture was taken seconds before Drew did a face plant right into the water. BAM - he's soaked! I took his clothes off and he ran around anked for a few minutes while RJ ran back with his bathing suit. I really didn't think he would go in the water! Oh well, I was wrong.
In was a fun trip. Drew ended up coming back home Saturday night and spending the night with Rainie, so he didn't get the entire camping experience, but we tried and we will have to try again next year!

Making new friends...
Bustin' a move...(with a princess hat on)
Laughing so hard he's about to fall out of the swing...
At the end of the day, we're the only ones left, and Drew & Rainie finally got some alone time!

Do I need to say more?
RJ getting a head start with Drew. It appears that Drew is going to be a lefty, however RJ still wants him to bat right handed. He was getting the hang of it...
BTW - Drew turned 19 months old yesterday!
Here is our little monster on Halloween. Before trick or treating we stopped by canal street downtown to watch the parade and costume contest...

This is the real monster costume that Jen found for Drew last year, it fit him good this year, but was so hot, considering it was in the 70's Wednesday night...
Drew eating a lolipop, he was totally into trick or treating. He went around the block twice!! It obviously was more about people giving him stuff when he walked up to their house! Next year should be a blast!

Sunday afternoon, my friend Kim and I decided to get the kids out of the house for a few minutes while it had quit raining. We met at the park and Drew was SO excited to see his best friend/girlfriend Rainie... (although he sees her everyday at the babysitter)
This won't be so cute when they are 15, but it is reeallllly cute now... (sorry Tim)

Drew sliding down to dry the slide off for Ms. Rainie...
Just a swingin...
Drew's girlfriend Rainie...
1-2-3... GO!
Drew trying to make one more move before we have to go home...


Here is Drew trying on his new sneakers for dad. The boy is 18 month old and wearing size 8 shoes!! He's got some HUGE feet!

This is just Mr. Smarty pants trying to be cute for the camera...
And if you are noticing that Drew's hair is extremely short all of a sudden, it is because I let RJ take him to get a haircut.

These are nothing too exciting, just some pictures that my parents had on their camera from when Drew has been over at their house...
