Visit with Santa

We ventured to the mall on Sunday to visit Santa. Little Dallas was very excited and not nervous at all. He reheresed his list on the way and practically ran to Santa's lap to tell him. He did forget a few things and tried to run back saying, "oh no, I forgot to tell him about..." I told him not to worry that we would include the items on the list to Santa in the mail and he would still hear of them. We also visited the Build a Bear Workshop for the first time. He had so much fun making a police bear for himself and a bunny for Sterling that he will give her at Christmas. I can't believe how fast Christmas is approaching and I have barely started shopping!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. Our family has so much to be thankful for this year! All of our immediate famliy has finally spent some quality time with Sterling now that she is home. We spent Thanksgiving day in Greenville and my parents came up to visit over the weekend. Whit came by last weekend and did a good job holding Sterling. He didn't look too uncomfortable as you can see in the picture. I am posting a few pictures from the last few days. (I am not posting one of us in Greenville with everyone because it is for Bebe's Christmas card! )

Welcome Home Sterling!

We were finally able to bring Sterling home yesterday. She is doing great and as of yesterday weighs 5 pounds 12 ounces. Little Dallas was so thrilled to finally get to meet her. Here are just a few of the many pictures taken yesterday. We are so blessed to have this angel in our home and can't wait to see what the future holds for her and her big brother!

Sterling's Room

We finished Sterling's room just in time. It looks like she is coming home tomorrow and we are so excited! Here are a few pics of our precious angel's new room. It needs a few more pictures but I love how it turned out! Thank you Bebe and Big Dallas for all your work to make my vision come true!

Leaves and Halloween

Little Dallas had a great time on Halloween despite the rain. We headed out with umbrellas and made it to several houses in our neighborhood. Brianne was a cute tulip and Dallas had a last minute costume change from Ironman to Spiderman. While we have been commuting back and forth to Greenville to be with Sterling, the leaves all came down and we had to spend some time outside getting them all raked up. Little Dallas had fun as usual jumping and playing in the leaves. It has been so cold here lately. I think we missed fall with everything that we have had going on. The last 5 weeks have been a bit of a blur. I hope to keep up the blog better and I know once we get Sterling home I will be posting plenty of pics of her too.
