Today marks Boo's first Halloween! We celebrated with the party a few weeks ago and today we went downtown to the square for trick-or-treating (really we just pushed Boo in the stroller and looked at everyone else). It was fun to see all of the itty bitty's all dressed up! So cute! Here are some pics.

Promotion Day
B-man's official promotion date is Nov 1st, but we had his promotion ceremony today on campus. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day and the promotion was very nice.
We're so proud of you B for all of your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. You definitely deserve this day!
B-man addressing the formation and thanking me and Boo for all we do to support him!
Boo eating leaves! He would NOT stop trying to eat them!

Prayerful Wednesday
UPDATE: Stellan is here!!! And according to the family blog, "the NICU team has yet to find a single thing wrong with him"!!! Check here for more details! Praise God!
Original Post:
I know it's supposed to be Wordless or Wordle Wednesday, but today we're going with Prayerful Wednesday.
I happened across a blog a while ago about a family with 3 small children and one on the way. Well, MckMuffin (the one on the way) was diagnosed with a fatal heart defect in utero and the parents were told that he would surely die. MckMama was hospitalized for a while and put on various medications to help correct her baby's heart rate, etc. Miraculously, when they took the mom off of the meds about a week or so ago because of her own growing heart complications, they found that MckMuffin's heart rate was excellent. He still has an enlarged heart and is very sick (per the doctors), but this family is so faithful. Beyond words faithful and they have totally given this problem to God to handle. Such surrender.
Well, today is MckMuffin's BIRTH day. He will be born via c-section at 9:30 a.m. CST. Please join thousands in praying for his health as well as his mother's health on this day. He already is a miracle baby (aren't they all?) and we're praying for continued healing and miracles for this little guy who has already touched the lives of people all over the world. Check out more about their wonderful family here.

Forward Progress, Otter-ing, Good Morning Sandy, and The BIG HILL!
Here are some videos to keep you smiling and laughing!
This first one is of Boo crawling!!! He does short bouts of the real thing intermingled with inch-worming and scooting forward. But, it's all forward progression and we're all happy about that. He just needed the right motivation... the remote control! This boy LOVES electronics! He ends the video demonstrating our newest made up term around here: otter-ing. This is what G does when he gets to his destination object and rolls over on his back to play with it. He does it every time! Too cute! Maybe he should have been an otter for Halloween. Wait...there's still time.
This next one is a little snippet into our daily routine. Every morning after I feed G and change his roos, I sit him on the floor and we call our beloved yellow dog (aka Nanny Sandy) into his room and give her good morning hugs. She's always waiting in the hall and G gets sooo excited when he hears me say.... "Good Morning, Sandy"! He is usually more excited than displayed here. I think he was a little distracted by the camera.
Next up, the BIG HILL. There's a little bit of a back story here, so bear with me. When Aunt Rob and I were little girls, Granddaddy (BeBe's dad) used to take us down the street from his house to the BIG HILL!!! We'd take cardboard boxes and sit on them and slide down what seemed like the side of a mountain to us!!! It was so thrilling and exciting. We L-O-V-E-D it! What's funny is now we know the the big hill isn't so big. In fact, compared to our memory, it looks so small and puny. "That's it??? Are you sure???" Ha!! So, here's Boo going down the BIG HILL in our front yard in his little red wagon. In fact, when I told B-man I was going to take G down the big hill, he looked at me and said, "What hill?" It cracks me up to watch Boo's face and hair as we roll down the hill.
Hope you enjoyed!

First Hike
Last Sunday afternoon we took advantage of the great weather while B-man was taking a break between studying for finals and studying for his oral comprehensive exam on all classes to date (the exam is Monday) and went hiking. We were hoping to see the beautiful fall colors, but I think we were a little early. It was fun nonetheless to enjoy some hiking as a family. We really enjoyed it in Colorado and were eager to try it out here with our Boo!

Happy Fall
Well, it's fall now and Boo and I joined some other Moms and itty bittys at a pumpkin patch this morning. Fun was had by all!
Chewin' on the hay.
Cute as a punkin!
Infant playgroup buddies!
He really liked the hay.
I see the pumpkin Boo I want to take home!
Boo's Arkansas girlfriend.
They're too unstable to ride in the wagon without support. Thanks to B-man's idea to use the Bumbo seats, they were able to ride in the wagon. Yay!
Boo and I started taking swimming lessons last Saturday. Here are a few pics...

"Jumping" off of the side. On another note...Tommy Bowden announces his mid season resignation today as the head coach of Clemson. I guess I was dead serious (see post from last week). I feel bad for him and his family. I know this is not what he had hoped/planned for this season. But, something's gotta change, and in the end, it usually is the coach to go. Best wishes Tommy...

Wake Up Call
If you know us, you know that B-man sleeps HARD!! It's so hard to wake him up. Take it from this gal who once rolled over in bed to see that he was trying to turn off the alarm clock with the TV remote control. Ha! Funny now...not so funny when I desperately wanted the alarm OFF.
So, I played a dirty trick on him this morning.
This was our conversation when I went to wake him this a.m.
Me: "Honey, it's time to get up now... and oh, by the way, they fired Tommy Bowden this morning".
B-man: With eyes wide open "Are you dead serious?"
Ha! Got em!!
Not only did he say "are you serious?" he said, "are you dead serious?"
All of this after our dear Tigers played horribly last night. This was supposed to be our year.
I really do wonder if Tommy Bowden will survive this season.
He was awake after that!

Wordle Wednesday
A lot of bloggers post only a picture on Wednesdays and call it "Wordless Wednesday". I was thinking of doing that when I was viewing Amanda's blog and saw her wordle in the sidebar.
I decided to check it out. So fun! So, here's our first installment of Wordle Wednesday! I think we'll alternate between Wordless Wednesday and Wordle Wednesday depending on our adventures.
Enjoy!
